Hey guys, just looking in to a console to play old games, however I forget if the D pad on there was relevant to playing the fighting games that were on the Original Xbox?
" original Xbox to relive your youth? How old are you?
When I'm going to relive my youth I bust out the NES or TurboGrafx "
thats exactly what i was thinking. he must be like 10 now. "
First thing that sprung to mind for me as well. Nothing wrong with it, it's just disconcerting to hear someone say "I want to relive my youth by playing the original Xbox".

" @Coombs:@Ryax: He's probably 16-18. Some of us started gaming quite a bit later, you know. I didn't start until I was about 14. "
Is 14 your youth when you're 16-18? Wouldn't that just be relive the past?
@jukezypoo: Well, kind of, if you're 18. While 4 years isn't a particularly long time, it's a HUGE change in lifestyle. People leave school and go to college or university and some even start full time work. That age gap is kind of the bridge between childhood and adulthood.
It might be different in the US because people leave school at 18 though.

Also thinking the same, The original Xbox wasn't even all that long ago. I'm not exactly old (21) but to "Relive your youth" when it was only 5 years or so, sounds weird to me.
This thing is you can't relive your youth if it was only a few years ago. Maybe in ten more years you can claim playing X-Box is reliving your youth. Although frankly, when I play PS1 games I don't think back to when I play. I mean, I'm even playing them on a PS3. Now, when I play the 2600, which is plugged into my 46" HDTV that is reliving a bygone era of youth.
