Halo 1 was on Xbox before PC https://www.igdb.com/games/halo-combat-evolved#releases
Xbox in 2001, PC in 2003
and the Xbox version did have split screen
Not only that but iirc gearbox didn't even port all of the graphical effects to the PC version
Halo 1 was originally on the Apple Mac computers.
I remember my work colleague having an early access release because he is quite connected.
It was beautiful and we couldn't believe that a Mac could do something like that back in the day.
Microsoft saw it jumped on it and straight away extinguished the Mac version and ported it over to the Xbox.
The Mac version was absolutely canned. They did not want gaming competition from Apple in any way, especially something as impressive as Halo 1 was back then.
Edit. I find it hilarious people would down vote that. Is this reddit? Have I woken into a dream? 😀
