Here’s Half-Life Running on a Watch

Don’t ask me why playing a videogame on a smaller screen is so impressive, because it just is. I can’t explain these things! It just is!

Using the SDLash app, it’s possible to boot and play Half-Life on an Android Wear Watch, like in the video below. Unsurprisingly, it’s hard to control. It crashes, too. However, it’s one of the best first-person shooters of all time and it’s playable on a watch. Are you not entertained?

This is on an LG G Watch, so the game would presumably run better on a bigger, more powerful watch. You should also be able to play other older Source engine game, at least theoretically. Again, this is no way the ideal way to play these games. In fact, it could be the least ideal way to play these games. This isn’t practical advice, but an impressive display of computing power. A damn impressive display.
