14 DAY TRIAL // Following the trend of running old-school games on the weirdest of devices, YouTuber Dave Bennet managed to run Half Life on its own LG G Watch.
Using SDLash app, you can boot and run Half-Life, or any older game using the Source engine, on your Apple Watch or Android Wear watch. Yes, it's quirky, you can barely control it and it crashes a lot, but, hey, you can really play Half-Life on your watch, which is nothing less than impressive.
This is a poignant proof that what was cutting edge more than ten years ago and fitted in a PC desktop, now you can wear like it's nothing at your wrist. Just for the record, the LG G Watch runs on a Snapdragon 400 SoC 1.7 dual-core Krait CPU or a 1.6GHz quad-core ARM® Cortex™ A7 CPU and its graphics are powered by a Qualcomm Adreno 306 at 450 MHz core speed with 512MHz RAM memory.
To be able to run Half Life in 1998 when this thing appeared, you needed a 133MHz Intel Pentium, 24 MB of RAM and a 16MB video card. I bet even my coffee machine can run this game these days, if it had a mouse and keyboard.
Anyway, for nostalgia and pure looks here is Half Life on an LG Watch.
