Hi all.

Seeing as Half Life 2 is a very old game now (2002) I think, and tyre specs are quite low, had anyone heard of an Android version? As Source is open source, and today's Android devices are more powerful than the PC's of that time, no reason why it won't run on them.

As far as I know you can not run half life 2 on android, but you can run half life 1 using Dos box turbo.

Here is the YouTube link on how to do it:
How to run Hal-Life on Android (DosBox Turbo) - YouTube

Just get Dos Box from wherever you get your apps, download what the video says, and do what the video says and you should be set.

If you want to run any other PC games there are apps on the play store that are free that let you run Quake, Quake2, and Quake 3 Doom 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I also have an app that plays all of the original doom games (not sure where i got it) if you want that i can give you a link, but you probably going to have to adjust the controls because they are weird to use.

The thing is you have to either have the demo files or full game files for these to work.

Sorry for going on like that, but hope the info helps :)
