Engadget News report:
After a threat on his life , The President of Gaming Company "Valve" handed over the source code to an old prototype version of Half Life for the Atari 2600 to the creators of the "Open Pandora" hand held gaming system. A forum member going by the name linc186 on the GP32X message board wanted Valve's president to have a gun held to his head while demanding he release the "source code". While linc186 (notice how close to 187 that is) did not specify which source code he was demanding, so it's anyone's best guess if this will appease the source code terrorist. The FBI and Interpol have teemed up with the Open Pandora Team to find out who Linc186 (the message board terrorist in question) is, to bring him to justice. At any rate now that the source code has been released Gabriel Newell may sleep a little easier tonight.
We will update as more information comes to light.

Apparently many of you don't remember the halflife 2 source code leak that pushed the game's release date back about 2 years.
It still exists.
Even so, I doubt it would run well on pandora, that is if it would even run at all. IIRC it's too x86 dependant, and very heavy on floating point (thanks havoc) the only way we'll ever see halflife 2 on pandora is if somebody made it on another engine (wouldn't be the same) or valve spent years and hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars porting/rewriting the engine so less than one thousand people could play it on a specific handheld that doesn't even meet the minimum requirements to run it.
So in short, you have a better chance of playing Halo on pandora.

If it's as good as Halo 2600 ended up, it could be awesome. Halo 2600 surprised me as to how fun a new game still could be on the 2600 after all these years.
