MODERATORS
Semi-related, but to this day I remain impressed they got Half Life 2 ported to the original Xbox.
Why? It was just a PC on the inside with a slimmed down Windows 2000 variant as the OS. Storage concerns aside, it was probably a very straightforward port, just rip out the Steam bindings, and it probably ran pretty immediately.
Noooo, it was not that simple. Search MVG hl2 port on YouTube and watch and see why the port is actually very impressive
