I didn't get my 360 until early 07. By that time there weren't many original xbox games still being made so I never played any on my 360. I played most last gen multiplatform games on my ps2 anyway.
Xbox 360
Platform »
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?
I play a fair amount of Burnout 3 on the 360. I also have the Sonic Mega Collection Plus for the Xbox. Its the only modern port that lets you play sonic 3 & Knuckles AND access clearsaves AND doesnt have any noticable emulation button lag. Which is weird when you think about it, since its an xbox 360 emulating an xbox, emulating a genesis. The PS2 version had just enough lag to make it unfun for me. Also I had jade empire, which was great. Also had KOF Neowave, which surprisingly has some of the best lag-free online KOF play you can find through legitimate means. Its noticeably better than the xbla 98um or Garou MOTW.
I play a ton of old X-Box games. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Jade Empire,The Hulk Ultimate Destruction and ninja Gaiden to name a few.
I just tried to play Halo 2 a couple days ago and it doesn't let you download the required map packs to play anymore. So basically it doesn't let you play it. Lame.
Also, I JUST noticed those "see mini bio" buttons over everyones posts. How long has that been there?
"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"
white is right shoulder black is left. games look so much better through HDMI, it's worth doing if you have both options.
I do still have my old xbox for a few incompatible games, though.
I tried to play Fable 1 again but it kept crashing so i just gave up. Then Fable 2 came out. Then i still wanted to play Fable 1 again.
A few weeks ago, I went on a $9 whim and bought Indigo Prophecy. It was sooo worth it.
I also have a weird situation with BC, my new 120gb HDD can't play old games. So I have to plug in my old 20gb HDD.
The only Xbox games I have played on my Xbox 360 are Halo 2, Max Payne and Max Payne 2.
Nope. Ever since I transferred everything over to my 120 gig HDD... the backwards compat ain't worked. I want my money back for GTA: San Andreas!
