It's my understanding that a fairly reputable forum member here has a real copy. If I remember correctly, some copies WERE pressed and packaged, but never shipped anywhere. I think a few made their way into the hands of collectors.

The strategy guide for the dreamcast version was indeed published however.. I have a copy of that.

Yeah it was cancelled,but it was 2weeks before its release so it must be genuine,it does look like the real thing...
Ah well,either way ive only played it once,am trying to go for a complete gamecube collection,PAL versions.
Gamecube attracts me for strange reason
Just thinking of selling half life for funds towards my gamecube goal

The game was gold and copies were made (they'd have gone to final production to be to get everything done and ready to go before 2 weeks to sale). The copies were destroyed save for a scant few. A few sets of manuals/rear inserts have been seen over the years and according to the DP member who has access to a sealed US copy, a dozen (or so) US copies were not destroyed.
The ISO is out there and along with Propeller Arena's and numerous others. I've seen PS games w/ full manuals/inserts for games that never got stateside releases due to cancelation. This is almost guaranteed to be just a burn with a cover slapped on it. There are a number of good pirates out there that have gotten this treatment over time.

I remember waiting and waiting for it to come out on the DC. I think there were even some reviews in couple of magazines. It sucked when it was canceled and the DC owners were forced to play Soldier of Fortune instead.

I have also wondered how much this goes for, based on how few copies are out there in the wild. I have a review demo disc of this game but thats not really worth anything. I want a copy of the actual game.

Half Life for the Dreamcast is worth Zilch. Zip. Nada. And if you paid a penny more than the price of a blank CD for it, you got screwed.
Half-Life for the DC was never released. It never went gold, either, although it was close to completion. The ISO floating around was the incomplete beta version that Sierra was using to show at gaming conventions, that was leaked to the DC pirate community. It is not complete.
PapaStu - you're thinking of just Propeller Arena. It was supposed to come out two weeks after 9/11. Sega cancelled the game immediately, and recalled all the copies that had already shipped to the box stores that kept inventories in back until their street dates. Fortunately, someone in the DC pirate community managed to find an unsold copy, and it made it onto the net. Sierra cancelled Half-Life on the DC only to port it to the more popular PS2.
I brought this up in a topic here ages ago...

A legit copy of Propeller Arena is probably the most rare game for the DC (if not of any system, in the past 3 generations) if it was ever actually manufactured. And I guarantee one will show up, one of these days.

True, if you buy a burned disc. BUT, I have seen the actual internal prototype on GD-Rom, and that would of course be worth quite a penny.

The Game guide is legit, have one myself.
You can still buy it at Amazon.
