I found a copy of Half-Life 1 online that is not through Steam, i.e. it is simply the old files from the CD. Installation went fine. Prompted for CD-key, gave it, installation finished.
Application opens with PlayOnMac, and XQuartz prompts me to allow resolution change since the program requests it. I allow it. Screen changes resolution and goes black: makes like its about to play. Nothing happens. Computer drive starts running very fast, and still nothing happens. I exit the program by changing resolutions back, and in the top corner of the screen is a miniature, messed up (in terms of colours) window of the half-life menu. So I click on start new game --- medium difficulty etc.. And then it prompts another resolution change, as it is about to run the game. Same thing happens. Nothing runs but the computer it seems, with a black screen... When I exit that resolution, there is nothing running on my desktop but XQuartz and PlayOnMac, no Half-Life...
I am running Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 on a mid-2009 Macbook Pro NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB
