Half-Life PlayStation Fan Port in the Works

Half-Life is, of course, Valve’s seminal first-person shooter, which was first released on PC in 1998, and although Half Life did receive a PlayStation 2 port, it was never ported to the original PlayStation until now that is!

Programmer Timur Gagiev, who goes by the handle XProger, and who was behind the OpenLara open-source classic Tomb Raider engine, has taken to X to announce that the current project that he is working on is a PlayStation fan port of Half-Life, but how well will Sony’s humble 32-bit machine be able to handle Half-Life? We guess we’ll find out soon!

Other formats on which Half-Life has appeared have been a little beefier that the ol’ PlayStation, including a Dreamcast port, which was cancelled, but was later leaked.

XProger is a very busy programmer, as in addition to the PlayStation Half-Life port on which he is currently working, he recently coded a NES emulator for the 3DO, Should you happen to have a 3DO and you’d like to run NES games on it, you can find XProger’s 3DO NES emulator on his GitHub page, but be warned, XProger describes the emulator as “not perfect, but fast enough.” XProger’s previous projects have included using leaked source code to port Wipeout to Windows, Linux, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PSP, though as these were based on the original source code, XProger chose not to release these ports publicly.

I'm a retro gamer and writer who writes about video games for online and print outlets. My love of gaming began way back in 1986 with the ZX Spectrum, before becoming a lifelong Nintendo fan in 1990 with the Game Boy. And although I keep up with modern gaming, we all know you can't beat retro classics (or maybe I'm just old!) https://x.com/paultwist
