The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
Do you ever play original XBOX games on your 360?
Ive been known on occasion to pop in Battlefront 2 or Splinter cell into my 360 on occasion, and I love the fact that 360 gives you the ability to do so, even if its not every game. Do you ever pop in a old XBOX 1 game to play on 360?
Burnout Takedown, XIII and The Suffering have all been played. I bought copies of Timesplitters 2 and Freedom fighters on ebay for 99p each, only to find out that FF is compatible in the US only (can't figure that one out) and Timeslitters just isn't compatible, presumably so they can sell it to us again over XBLA.
The only original Xbox game I own and play is Street Fighter Anniversary Collection.
Same as Ninja, I never owned an original Xbox so I regularly buy and play Xbox one exclusives (or multi-platform games that are more expensive on the PS2.)
No I don't. There's something about the controls that never feels right. I need the black and white buttons and their absence on the 360 controller just bothers me to no end when trying to play original Xbox games on the 360. So I load up my original Xbox when I want to play some original Xbox games provided I haven't gone and repurchased those games for PC.
I did it with a couple of games to see if it worked and played some Splinter Cell 2. I also bought Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) on Xbox Originals.
I'll go back to replay the original two Halo games once a year, generally. They're still so tightly made that they hold up to today's standards. Really ahead of their time.
I've only done it with Halo 2. I'd play more, but quite a few of the games I'd like to play aren't compatible. I did download Sid Meier's Pirates! as an Xbox Original, and I've put many hours into it on my 360.
" Before Halo 3 came out I played Halo 2 on my 360 more than any other game. After the release of Halo 3 I haven't touched it though. "This. It looked especially good at 720p. Still the PC version looks a lot better.

Last summer I played through The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and now that I've finished Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts I'll probably sink my teeth into Fable: The Lost Chapters now. So, in a word, yes.
" @SeriouslyNow said:Never bothered to play it online duder, so I can't say. Once Halo 3 came along it dragged me to hell with it." @Wolverine said:How is the matchmaking on the PC version though?

" @Wolverine said:Oh, well I think I might buy it since Xbox Live is going offline for original Xbox games after April." @SeriouslyNow said:Never bothered to play it online duder, so I can't say.

I put in the Mega Man Anniversary collection all the time. I picked that game up for about 12 bucks.
Does anyone know what's going to happen with backwards compatibility after the April 15th cutoff? I've never owned an xbox and my PS2 has died, but I really want to go back and play SSX 3 (on tour isn't compatible). I don't want to bother with ebay and hunting for it if I won't be able to play it after 4/15. Does anyone have any better info?
Thanks.
@Garden_Ninja: From majornelson: "I wanted to let you know that on April 15, 2010 Microsoft will discontinue Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox consoles and games, including Xbox 1 games playable on Xbox 360." Can't seem to get any clarification on whether that's online only or online and offline.
