For reference this is roughly period correct for the early iMac models (G3 and DV) that came out in 1998 and 1999, though MacOS 9 didn't ship until later. Impressive porting work.
[UPDATE] To make it clear, it was a joke (always a faceplant, on HN, where senses of humor go to die). It's actually very cool. I just get cranky that 3/4 of my Steam games don't work on new Macs, and I did like HL.
If Apple Silicon ran my games collection I simply wouldn't have another computer other than my M2 MBP. I've run Fallout 3 on it, and while the emulation isn't perfect, it is playable and runs. The fan doesn't turn into a jet aircraft at takeoff, the temps stay cool.
The fact that most games won't play on Apple Silicon natively is a crime.
Jokes are downvoted not because of a lack humor but because if we reward making jokes we will have to scroll through dozens of jokes and all of their responses to get the actual discussion. Voting is about keeping the on topic and worthwhile discussion at the top with everything else buried beneath it.

Porting AssaultCube should be doable too
Cleverly done.
That's nice.
Now do MacOS 26, on M chips.

Done. http://www.macsourceports.com/game/halflife
Awesome!

I love that simcity4 has an applesilicon and big name recent releases don't.
Yay.
Nah, that's based.

Tangentially related, there are now "officially allowed" Apple Silicon builds of Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2004 available [0]

I think those guys are about classic Macs
I know. It was kind of a joke, which, due to this being HN, fell flat.
We at Hacker News do not have a sense of humor that we’re aware of.
I see. Maybe it was a little random
This is the only site where it is illegal to make a joke.
Fair cop, Guv
Missing a bounty to go with that directness!
you do it.
Nope. Looks like someone already did (look up)
