You can run half life under winex though. Doubt we will ever see any native version even for linux  :-(

Those who wants a linux/amiga version, boycott the company of the game and send them a mail telling them why..

hat won't happen either, because Half-Life is already playable with WineX from Transgaming, so the need for a Linux native port is small.

That is the dangers with emulators, if they work to well then no one will bother developing native software.  :-x

This is what killed os/2 also..
OS/2 was a much better OS than win3.1 was, had better multitasking, was 32 bit while 3.1 was 16bit only...
But IBM made a perfect win3.1.x emulator, so developers did not bother to develope for it anymore, since it allready ran windows application without any probs, thus they did not have to develope for both...
And when win95/nt came  ;-)

I really believe that microsoft would not have such a strong position today, if IBM had decided not to bundle windows support with their OS:
