==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*''Halo'' was originally for the Mac, until Microsoft's acquisition of Bungie, which prompted the Xbox, and later, PC version. The game was intended for use on [[wikipedia:PowerPC|PowerPC]] Macs, and will crash if used on a newer Intel Mac. Bungie and MacSoft have since released a patch allowing for universal use of the game.

*With macOS Catalina and newer releases, 32bit apps like Combat Evolved are no longer supported.
