It's really hard to get normal people to deal with emulators so that you can build a community. And the original Halo allocated memory in a weird way that often screws things up.

Halo is a terrible example because it’s a game where the Mac version was never a very good way to play in the first place. I would guess that 99% of Halo players would be surprised to know it had a Mac version.
We should have a path to run legacy software when it’s practical but Halo is just not a good example to make that case.
I’d also personally be more interested in firing up the master chief collection or seeing if the upcoming campaign remake will be any good.
just as a little side note: while it really isn‘t regarded as a typical mac game nowadays, Halo was originally planned as a Mac-exclusive, before Microsoft bought Bungie. If memory servese me right, Jobs even presented it as an exclusive at some MacWorld or Expo.
