”Neither the retail nor demo version of Halo runs on today's Macs.” The retail version runs fine for me on OS X 10.11.3, but there are no Internet games available since GameSpy (servers) is no more.

Google the Halo lobby fix. I play every day. Usually 190 servers avaiable.

Aha, thanks. Didn't know about that. :)

Halo CE was crashing right after the splash screen for me. (Old Halo game folder copied from backup - not a clean install.) I purchased the Intel update some time ago, so I went looking for a solution. Not only did HaloMD allow me to run the game again, but it also allowed me to install a graphics tweak that took it out of the curing cement sluggishness that characterized my first attempt. If you try this and the performance isn't what you would wish, try installing some of the extensions, and go to full screen. My deep thanks to the developers for resurrecting this old favorite that has collected dust for too long. Now, could you do something for HomeWorld 2?

Okay, I spoke too soon. I started by playing at Legendary, and it took me to Silent Cartographer. I thought this was because that's where I had left off lo these many years ago. Nope. Silent Cartographer is the only level available. Now that's disappointing! I'll play around to see if I can get around this limitation.
