In college, I found out that the person living below me also had Halo LAN parties. We ran cable through our back windows = absolute Halo madness, never slept.
@@DoodMang7 thanks! I agree 100%. Online is fun but something about those LAN parties...maybe having beers like w couch coop mixed with competitive gaming and hearing people complaining in next room? Should be a vid on greats of LAN gaming.
Fun Fact: The enormous Xbox symbol on the controller had a purpose. When Microsoft were in talks with Microsoft about sega games on the Xbox, they initially thought it could be an idea to incorporate a controller display like the Dreamcast. It never happened and the initial designs were just replaced with this giant logo. That is also the reason for two expansion ports on the controller.
I absolutely love the Xbox. That’s honestly how I got into online console gaming. The Xbox is definitely one of my top favorite consoles of all times. Brings back a lot of memories, awesome controller, and games too.
Wii has a more powerful cpu, the xbox has greater fillrates/texture mapping/polygon generation, the Wii has more advanced rendering techniques. Theyre much on par with each being a little better depending on what graphics are being thrown around. Wii is not a GC with a different controller. It's more akin to the same machine with faster revisions of the cpu and gpu. And that was the entire point. To use the same micro arches (both cpu and gpu) so as to ensure compatibility, but also be a bit more powerful.
I don't think I entirely agree with that. I agree with beezie, the PowerPC Cpu was definitely more capable, compute processing power yields many advantages. Mifos, let's not get carried away. Nintendo has only stopped caring about power ever since the dramatically more powerful Gamecube was stupidly trampled by the technically inferior and hard to program for Ps2. At that point, it was like why bother, if ppl don't care about good hardware... And the Snes was anemic when it came to processing power which it definitely needed, so many games suffer from slowdown, even the Genesis which was 2 years older was a faster machine. And the Switch is a handheld, and a pretty capable one at that so I don't think your point goes across there.
Xbox is such a lovely underrated system. I started collecting games for it recently and so far I got: Splinter Cell 1,2&3 Prince of Persia WW & TTT Sonic Heroes & Shadow the Hedgehog Halo 1 Matrix Path of Neo Crash Twinsanity TimeSplitters 2 Deus Ex IW Hitman 2 Marc Ecko's Getting Up Midway Arcade Amped 1
The console versions of these types of games were good for sure, but crimson skies looked way better on the PC, just like half life was better on PC than PS2 but that wasn't a bad version, much better than quake 3, unreal tournament, and kiss psycho circus on Dreamcast, all were way better on PC.

@@danholli123 That's only because it was complex and not very well-documented hardware-wise, not because of it being soo powerful. The original Xbox was "basically" a PC but it's still not very well emulated because lack of documentation of specific parts of the hardware.
I was more of a Dreamcast and PS2 guy during this generation, but man, Shenmue 2, Republic Commando, Jade Empire, and of course the mighty Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. Such awesome exclusives!!!
I always felt in recent years that i was multi- console. I just did not realize it until later on. I am shooting myself in the foot for selling the gameboy player for the gamecube. But i aquired a sega dreamcast and an original playstation recently, and have hopes of purchasing some of the older ones in the future.

Amped and Amped 2 are STILL the best snowboarding games of all time. Amped is realistic for the most part. What's better than pure control via analogs? Hucking a flip, and doing it slow for style to get more points... This game still holds up to this very day. (Amped 3 was made by someone else, and was more arcade, but was still fun in it's own right. Amped 1 was the OG, but Amped 2 is the best one of the series.) Getting a sponsor, and having them give you an 'invite to the party at the Burton house' or, 'free hot dogs for a week' was hilarious.
Vexx was pretty awesome. Beyond Good and Evil. Chronicles of Riddick: Butcher Bay is a technical marvel.

I just discovered your Channel, and I've got to say, I'm loving it. I love hearing you and your guests talk about all these old games. It's extremely nostalgic. Keep up the good work!
Out of context it could sound like he was referring to her graduating college, when really he was talking about how in general, players of Halo 1 also wondered how they made it through college while spending so much time playing Halo
Im a casual gamer in my 50s. I love watching your channel about throwback systems and game . Love your postive energy and and all your guest. Keep up the great work!
What I loved about the old Xbox is that it had PC power connectors inside and IDE cords to the DVD. So I just bought a 40gb PC HDD and changed the DVD drive later with a PC DVD-R one when it failed. Still works to this day. And PC mods like light wires etc and colored fans was easy to change to. I have the crystal Xbox and it has enough power to use those. So mine lights up to.
Its worth noting that the PC version of KotOR II has been put up on Steam and features a number of improvements, like higher resolutions, achievements, bug fixes, and most importantly of all, easy support for a mod that actually reinserts a good chunk of the content that was originally cut.
SSSHHHHH, NO IT DOESENT, IT ALREADY COSTS TOO MUCH FOR THE ORIGINAL GAME, THE LAST THING I WANT IS FOR THAT PRICE TO GO UP BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW ITS ACTUAL WORTH!!!
I got this console by accident, it was lent to my brother, who lent it to me, I got hooked and i still play it once every few years for games I can’t run on my Series X
Hello my friend. How are you? I have a project to capture gameplay from all 998 og xbox game library. Could you check out the channel? We already have more than 250 games with recorded videos. It would be great to receive your feedback, and maybe, if you like the channel, have you as a subscriber. Thank you very much. Have a nice day : )
most definitely one of my favorite systems of all time along with the gamecube! so underrated and one of the only systems that supported western RPGs at that time!!
Otagi 1 and 2, crazy taxi 3, shenmue 2, ninja gaiden black, the suffering 1 and 2, tony hawk pro skater 2x, sega soccer slam are just some other awesome games
+Derpurs Machinest (Gamer88) i loved otagai. it was different in games that were just cloning each other. tho with these buyer guides. if you notice they loved all the games they posted. which leads a person to believe that this was a buyers guide/top game guide. disappointing.
+MetalJesusRocks GREAT doco, plus isn't it cool seeing that he did something with his non-band time! Hey and thanks, I've nearly got all the PS2 games on my "list", now you've made me want, no, *need* an original XBOX! They're pretty cheap down here in NZ too at the moment, feel I should get in while the buyings good :-)
Don't forget - Prince of Persia series - Splinter Cell - Star Wars Battlefront - Mercenaries, at least I thought it was good - Half Life 2 Also some racing/car games like - Burnout 3 or Revenge - Forza - PGR
Great list, you two! I remember sadistically playing halo2 (solo) on legendary and fighting for every inch. I also lived in Morrowind longer than I should have. But after growing up with the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale D&D series, it was cool to play a deep RPG in first-person (just missed Daggerfall). I'm still waiting on that Time Splitters sequel, too. Incredible shooter. And bioware before the buyout? How things have changed. 😔 Lastly, killer shirts, guys! I can't wait for the live-action Attack on Titan film! 👍
Don't know why so many people hate external power supplies. They are easier to replace and removes a heat source out of the system. It also helps to save space for better cooling solutions...
Diablokiller999 most of the time the power supplies take up too much space in a room, and just add to a mess of wires which can be dangerous. It gets pretty annoying when I have to look for the power brick to most of the consoles I own. I'd rather take a wire from one console that's plugged into a wall and plug it into a different console. It saves time and space.
I really want to start collecting. This console was amazing. So underrated in the retro gaming community, but I really think it will start to get popular relatively soon. This video brought back a lot of childhood memories too. Thank you.
Nobody was talking about the ''Splinter Cell Serie's'' like Splinter Cell ''Chaos Theory'' one of the best xbox game seller of all time with a notes of 9.5 and 9 from a lot of video games shows...for my part it's really an awesome game, really realistic and genius!
Dreamcast was discontinued March of 2001, Xbox was available in November of the same year. Microsoft supported Dreamcast with Windows CE, they were never competing against Sega, which is why Microsoft got a lot of Dreamcast games ported to the Original Xbox. www.tomsguide.com/us/dreamcast-xbox-sega-microsoft-games,news-5579.html
That is a great find! I found a Sega Master System in the box at a thrift store. It was the deluxe edition that came with the 3D glasses. The only thing really missing was the game it came with. It wasnt on the floor yet so the manager sold it to me for 15 bucks. My hands were shaking because I could not believe what I just found!
I remember getting my own Xbox controller for my 5th birthday I’m pretty sure it was the transparent duke or some sort of off brand see through one even tho I didn’t have an Xbox yet cuz my brother got one cuz we lived right next to my grandparents like you could literally run over there I’m like 30 seconds and we’d go over there every day and I’d play Xbox all the time me and my brother would play halo 2 and play the second mission over and over again cuz it was the only mission I was good at or didn’t scare me. Halo 2 was the first game I played there’s videos of me when I was 2 playing it with my dad and I still have my grandpas original special edition copy he passed away and it’s the only thing I personally have of his. The Xbox is such a nostalgic console for me
I still play it. The combat where you control your actual hands was insane. The dark somber vibe of the game was really intriguing and left me very uncomfortable. I loved ever bit of it
From watching this I went on eBay and bought one since when they were out I never had one and they actually seem like the best console of that time in my opinion thanks for the great advice Metal Jesus and Kenzie
DUDE I HAVE THAT SAME SHIRT, WE BUY SHIRTS FROM THE SAME WEBSITES LOL. Love the Mario/Bowser shirt and the Doom/Ash vs Evil Dead one too! What a legend. Long time xbox fan and you introduced me to a bunch of games.
The original Xbox is hands down my favorite system, when it came out it was revolutionary in so many ways, it brought home alot of awesome new gaming expiriences to the masses, and it's aged so well and resurfaced atleast to for myself as quite possibly the best way to emulate just about anything so open ended, I got mine running Linux w/xbmc, upgraded hard drive with practically every classic system with complete libraries from all regions running perfectly, but what's the crowning achievement is MAME, Coin ops ignite..simply amazing
Seems like we forgot a few games... 1.) Amped (Launch Title - Snowboarding game) - Very early, but very awesome game on XBOX. 2.) Burnout Series (Best on Gamecube and XBOX) 3.) Counter- Strike (Very good on original XBOX) 4.) Oddworld games 5.) Bloodwake (Great vehicle combat game only on XBOX) 6.) Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions (When I first saw this game on XBOX, it blew my frickin mind how good it looked back then) 7.) Fuzion Frenzy (A must have to play with friends) 8.) ESPN NFL 2K5 (You want to play a real football game... This is it)
I just recently bought my own Original Xbox off of Amazon and it will be my very first console that I fully own. Lots of good memories playing the Original Halo when I was little. I still have the disc in mint condition and it works.
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory was always one of my favorites. I was soo excuted when I found out that Microsoft made it Backwards Compatible with the XBOX ONE. It looks great. You can even play Spies vs Mercs and Online Co-Op via xLink Kai System Link since the XBOX ONE is compatible with Kai.
For the original Xbox, you should definitely get Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Otogi 1 and 2 Ninja Gaiden Black Dead or Alive 3 Dead or Alive Ultimate Jade Empire Breakdown GunValkyrie Dino Crisis 3 Metal Wolf Chaos Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay The Thing Cel Damage Psychonauts Genma Onimusha Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy Advent Rising Urban Chaos: Riot Response And just for funsies, Kakuto Chojin and Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus ;P
+Luis Arturo Juegos for chronicles of Riddick you can goto www.gog.com and get escape from butcher bay and assault on dark athena inn a single package which da is the sequel to butcher bay
Great vid guys, only recently bought an original xbox again after having sold mine in 2003 or 2004.... I had totally forgotten what a beast of a machine it was for its time...playing it again feels as awesome as ever before, it’s def a keeper this time...
GTA 3 Star Wars Battlefront 2 Fable ESPN NHL 2K5 Halo 1 and 2 SSX 3 NFL 2K3 Jetset Radio Future Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 Time Splitters: Future Perfect NHL 2004 Amped 1 and 2 Spider-man 1 & 2 GTA San Andreas are my great original Xbox games
Growing up we had a huge finished basement and my dad turned it into a "movie theatre" with a projector that would project a huge display onto a wall (like 12 feet wide and 9 feet tall) and a state of the art surround sound system for 2006. We also had a giant L-shaped couch and 2 recliners down there, and like 6 bean bags. We could hook up our consoles to the projector (Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2 etc), so our house was the HUB. Man, I would have like 6-8 friends over and we would play Halo 2 at 4x-split screen slayer in brawling tournements against each other for hours in the theatre basement. A theatre and surround sound made me and my brothers quite popular haha.
Hopefully buyers will softmod their Xbox or get a modded one shod with the Xecuter or Xenium modchip :-) This original baby started XBMC aka Xbox Media Center aka Kodi. One of the most robustly built consoles for its time. Mine is still running. Just finished Chronicles Of Riddick: Return To Butcher Bay
Mark you may have to trawl the Web for more info. I did the softmod in 2009 & I do believe a lot has changed from a tech perspective. The softmod is your best bet although you require a PC that has IDE ATA HDD interface & a CD/DVD-ROM drive that can read the Linux ISO burnt on a blank CD. Then you require about 2 hours of time & a few commands to be inputted. That's it. Note - Some CD/DVD drives cannot read the burnt CD.
I can imagine why you said that & you are right. But there is this unquantifiable & sublimely amazing feeling that you have truly unlocked the potential of your Xbox. There is a potent slice of nostalgia when I switch it on and it comes on and I... Am....believe it or not... Actually using it to read my comics in the CBR & CBZ format. & The pan and scan using the controller is flawless. Apart from that Halo 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden, Conker, Dream fall, Syberia series & so many more awesome games makes you realise that this was the pinnacle of console evolution for its generation. Way ahead of its time in terms of quality and concept. Ok, I shall zip up :-)
Hello, Complete NOOB here. My original Xbox doesn't have a dashboard [a work mate gave it to me, for free]. I don't know much about the Xbox but mine say "Xecuter2" just before loading games so, does that mean that it's been modded? And what about the dashboard, how do I find it? Please let me know. Thank you kindly
You missed "Rally Sport Challenge 2"... An amazing one, even sold included in console pack, highly rated, and is unbelivable that has not been continued!
i had to choose between that an colin m'crae rally. was really happy i went with rally sport challenge 2. still can't believe how good the weather effects, snow, dust etc were on an xbox!
Xbox versions 1.0-1.5 have a bad clock capacitor that should be removed asap. They have a 100% fail rate and will leak out, possibly ruining your xbox.
Yeah I watched and figured out I have a 2005 v.1.6! Newer clock capacitor! Everything on mine is original,no modding or anything,but everything on and in my og is probably cleaner than what it was in 06. I keep it all dust free
+MRPyro Gaming What's funny is the number of people who bash the original Xbox's big controller, but if you compare it in size with a Dreamcast controller, it's not that much bigger & I don't recall anyone complaining about the size of the Dreamcast's controller.
Fable is a great game. I played through that entire series, with Fable 3 surprisingly being my favorite as you could REALLY be evil in that game especially as the king.

Damn Kinsey is awesome. Such a friendly, positive lady. And no, Im not being one of those self embarrassing people who flirt with youtube hosts/hostesses. Im far from perfect, but Im not *that* sad :-) I just enjoy watching. Her positivity and attitude is infectious :-)
iidk I was pretty young playing an xbox about 3-6 before my brother sold it... the games I remember him having is dead or alive 3 (which got me on the series)street ball halo 2 or 3 ( I played only Co/Op with my sister I was afraid of those weird alien things that made weird noises)
Lol. I remember when my sister sold her sons Xbox to our cousins bf. he started putting music on that thing and he didn't let it cool off or whatever and it fucking burnt out on him the same day he bought it. then he tried to ask for his money back my sister just laughed at him.
I still have my Xbox from 2006. I’ve switched out the DVD drive, changed the capacitors, installed a new power block and painted the console sport yellow including the gem and have RGB coming through the controller slots. Still okay it to this day and currently replaying Halo 2 and PGR 2.
Why did you say Xbox competed with Dreamcast?... that is completely false, if anything Xbox was a spiritual Sega console as microsoft worked with Sega and got the rights to the controller blueprints (hence why xbox had the 2 memory slot ports on the controller identical to Dreamcast) and Sega had a ton of exclusive Sega games. Sega was never in competition with Microsoft, they was working WITH them ever since Dreamcast, as it was using Windows CE. Xbox is the closest we got to Dreamcast 2. Every gamer knows this!
I love my green Halo Xbox. A few weeks ago it wouldn't even power up, so I took that sucker apart and found 4 bulging capacitors. Replaced them and now it has new life...which makes me love it even more! I have some games in my amazon cart...Voodoo Vince, Oddworld Strangers Wrath, Toejam and Earl 3 and Stubbs the Zombie.
Awesome video. I'm currently going for a full North American Original Xbox collection. So many great titles on the Xbox to check out for new Xbox collector's. Keep up the great work bro.
+1NF4M0US I can agree with this. The Fable games are actually ones that I can appreciate a bit more now than I did at the time, largely because NONE of them have lived up to the hype train that Molyneux built up for them. The original was supposed to be basically Oblivion with a morality system to hear his pitch, and Fable 2 was supposed to be basically the same thing, and both of them fell far short of that goal. At the time I found it disappointing enough that I just couldn't bring myself to buy the original game (especially since I already had Morrowind for my Xbox,) but by the time 2 rolled out I was on to Molyneux, and went in expecting basically a rehashed version of the original, which was pretty much what I got. The first Fable is more creative, the second has arguably better gameplay and unarguably better character customization, and the third has, umm... QTEs in place of a dialogue system? Oh, and it brings back one of the worst characters from the second game just to piss you off, so there's that.
+1NF4M0US I loved fable 1, 2, and 3, and in fact, a few times a year, I really want to play fable 3 because it had some really memorable parts. I can't remember the last time I wanted to replay fable 1 or 2. Like even right now as I'm typing this, i'm thinking about fable 3 and now I want to play it again.
Fusion Frenzy would be a pretty cool title to have around when you want to play with friends. It's basically Xbox's take at their own version of Mario Party, and the best part was that it was still a fun game.
A part of me died when she called the EXPANSION PACKS(!) for TES III: Morrowind DLCs... ;( (+ If you play KotOR 1 & 2 on console, then you might need to have your brain checked since they are broken on console but are grealy imporved and very moddable on PC...)
Well it depends on the games. I mean I can play like three decades of games on my PC + several console generations and it's only a small amount of games, that don't work on modern systems. And it doesn't use as much space as all those consoles you would need to play retro. But still, I never would get rid of my old consoles. Especially 16bit-area will always have a special place in my heart.
Should have mentioned that the older Xbox models famously have a problem with the clock capacitor leaking that can ruin the console, so it's a good idea to replace or remove it. The only thing it does is save the time and date for a few hours after being unplugged, so I just removed mine.
In college, I found out that the person living below me also had Halo LAN parties. We ran cable through our back windows = absolute Halo madness, never slept.

The original Xbox was more powerful than the Wii. Think about that, it's crazy.
not surpriseing since the Wii has the same specs as the GameCube but with motion controls
Wii has a more powerful cpu, the xbox has greater fillrates/texture mapping/polygon generation, the Wii has more advanced rendering techniques.
Theyre much on par with each being a little better depending on what graphics are being thrown around.
Wii is not a GC with a different controller. It's more akin to the same machine with faster revisions of the cpu and gpu. And that was the entire point. To use the same micro arches (both cpu and gpu) so as to ensure compatibility, but also be a bit more powerful.

Out of context it could sound like he was referring to her graduating college, when really he was talking about how in general, players of Halo 1 also wondered how they made it through college while spending so much time playing Halo
Im a casual gamer in my 50s. I love watching your channel about throwback systems and game . Love your postive energy and and all your guest. Keep up the great work!
What I loved about the old Xbox is that it had PC power connectors inside and IDE cords to the DVD. So I just bought a 40gb PC HDD and changed the DVD drive later with a PC DVD-R one when it failed. Still works to this day. And PC mods like light wires etc and colored fans was easy to change to. I have the crystal Xbox and it has enough power to use those. So mine lights up to.
Its worth noting that the PC version of KotOR II has been put up on Steam and features a number of improvements, like higher resolutions, achievements, bug fixes, and most importantly of all, easy support for a mod that actually reinserts a good chunk of the content that was originally cut.

I got an original Xbox for $50 at a retro game store. And forza Motorsport for $1 at the same store.
Matthew Walsh i got mine at savers for 10 dollars replaced the rubberband and thermal paste and now it works flawlessly.
where on earth do i find a rubber band in the og xbox?
p.s - savers gang
Bruce_Jenner amazon sells a 10 pack for about 5.00
No i mean as in since when is there a rubber band in the og xbox? i honestly have no idea it existed or what it's used for
Bruce_Jenner, could be referring to the dvd drive band.
I got this console by accident, it was lent to my brother, who lent it to me, I got hooked and i still play it once every few years for games I can’t run on my Series X
Hello my friend. How are you?
I have a project to capture gameplay from all 998 og xbox game library.
Could you check out the channel? We already have more than 250 games with recorded videos.
It would be great to receive your feedback, and maybe, if you like the channel, have you as a subscriber.
Thank you very much.
Have a nice day : )
most definitely one of my favorite systems of all time along with the gamecube! so underrated and one of the only systems that supported western RPGs at that time!!
Otagi 1 and 2, crazy taxi 3, shenmue 2, ninja gaiden black, the suffering 1 and 2, tony hawk pro skater 2x, sega soccer slam are just some other awesome games
+Derpurs Machinest (Gamer88) Otagi is my childhood! love that game.
Eternal Rest love that series :-)
+Derpurs Machinest (Gamer88) I bought the ORiginal Otogi, is the second one good?
+Derpurs Machinest (Gamer88) i loved otagai. it was different in games that were just cloning each other. tho with these buyer guides. if you notice they loved all the games they posted. which leads a person to believe that this was a buyers guide/top game guide. disappointing.
Sono yeah its worth having :-)

GREAT doco, plus isn't it cool seeing that he did something with his non-band time!
Hey and thanks, I've nearly got all the PS2 games on my "list", now you've made me want, no, *need* an original XBOX! They're pretty cheap down here in NZ too at the moment, feel I should get in while the buyings good :-)
Don't forget
- Prince of Persia series
- Splinter Cell
- Star Wars Battlefront
- Mercenaries, at least I thought it was good
- Half Life 2
Also some racing/car games like
- Burnout 3 or Revenge
- Forza
- PGR
Robert T Mercenaries was great!
I'm now convinced to buy an xbox
Great list, you two! I remember sadistically playing halo2 (solo) on legendary and fighting for every inch. I also lived in Morrowind longer than I should have. But after growing up with the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale D&D series, it was cool to play a deep RPG in first-person (just missed Daggerfall). I'm still waiting on that Time Splitters sequel, too. Incredible shooter. And bioware before the buyout? How things have changed. 😔
Lastly, killer shirts, guys! I can't wait for the live-action Attack on Titan film!

Don't know why so many people hate external power supplies. They are easier to replace and removes a heat source out of the system. It also helps to save space for better cooling solutions...
+Diablokiller999 Amen
Diablokiller999 most of the time the power supplies take up too much space in a room, and just add to a mess of wires which can be dangerous. It gets pretty annoying when I have to look for the power brick to most of the consoles I own. I'd rather take a wire from one console that's plugged into a wall and plug it into a different console. It saves time and space.
It’s difficult to find replacements if the system isn’t common and not everyone has the space for one, especially if they have small bedrooms.
I like how the N64 technically had a power brick, but it was hidden withing the console
I really want to start collecting. This console was amazing. So underrated in the retro gaming community, but I really think it will start to get popular relatively soon.
This video brought back a lot of childhood memories too. Thank you.
OG xbox was amazing, I have one on the way for Monday, super excited!
Nobody was talking about the ''Splinter Cell Serie's'' like Splinter Cell ''Chaos Theory'' one of the best xbox game seller of all time with a notes of 9.5 and 9 from a lot of video games shows...for my part it's really an awesome game, really realistic and genius!
Dreamcast was discontinued March of 2001, Xbox was available in November of the same year. Microsoft supported Dreamcast with Windows CE, they were never competing against Sega, which is why Microsoft got a lot of Dreamcast games ported to the Original Xbox. www.tomsguide.com/us/dreamcast-xbox-sega-microsoft-games,news-5579.html

Totally found my Halo edition XBOX with the green controller at Goodwill for $5 :)
Adam Russo That's lucky!
It's a chain of thrift stores. I almost didn't even see it. It walked by and saw green out of the corner of my eye and was like "holy crap!"
Adam Russo I got the two halo green controllers. I love them lol and yes he is right because I bought two and one was missing the breakaway cable
That is a great find! I found a Sega Master System in the box at a thrift store. It was the deluxe edition that came with the 3D glasses. The only thing really missing was the game it came with. It wasnt on the floor yet so the manager sold it to me for 15 bucks. My hands were shaking because I could not believe what I just found!
Your lucky you found it on the floor instead of behind the glass or put on eBay!

I remember getting my own Xbox controller for my 5th birthday I’m pretty sure it was the transparent duke or some sort of off brand see through one even tho I didn’t have an Xbox yet cuz my brother got one cuz we lived right next to my grandparents like you could literally run over there I’m like 30 seconds and we’d go over there every day and I’d play Xbox all the time me and my brother would play halo 2 and play the second mission over and over again cuz it was the only mission I was good at or didn’t scare me. Halo 2 was the first game I played there’s videos of me when I was 2 playing it with my dad and I still have my grandpas original special edition copy he passed away and it’s the only thing I personally have of his. The Xbox is such a nostalgic console for me
You guys never cease to be total class acts. You know your stuff and always impress. Not to mention you have good taste in games!
Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay easily one of the greatest games ever made.
Samherman I played this recently , the 360 remaster version including the sequel escape on dark athena. really good game
The Riddick titles were pretty underrated.
I still play it. The combat where you control your actual hands was insane. The dark somber vibe of the game was really intriguing and left me very uncomfortable. I loved ever bit of it

TimeSplitters Future Perfect is good I hope they make a remastered version on the PS4 and the XBOX1.
From watching this I went on eBay and bought one since when they were out I never had one and they actually seem like the best console of that time in my opinion thanks for the great advice Metal Jesus and Kenzie

What website??? Bro I need the shirt in my life
The original Xbox is hands down my favorite system, when it came out it was revolutionary in so many ways, it brought home alot of awesome new gaming expiriences to the masses, and it's aged so well and resurfaced atleast to for myself as quite possibly the best way to emulate just about anything so open ended, I got mine running Linux w/xbmc, upgraded hard drive with practically every classic system with complete libraries from all regions running perfectly, but what's the crowning achievement is MAME, Coin ops ignite..simply amazing
Just got a halo Xbox with the halo controller for $55 👌🏼
Ace where???
Nice my dude, I got mine for $99, I did get halo 1 and 2 for free tho

Ooooh another Kinsey video ♡♡♡♡
Seems like we forgot a few games...
1.) Amped (Launch Title - Snowboarding game) - Very early, but very awesome game on XBOX.
2.) Burnout Series (Best on Gamecube and XBOX)
3.) Counter- Strike (Very good on original XBOX)
4.) Oddworld games
5.) Bloodwake (Great vehicle combat game only on XBOX)
6.) Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions (When I first saw this game on XBOX, it blew my frickin mind how good it looked back then)
7.) Fuzion Frenzy (A must have to play with friends)
8.) ESPN NFL 2K5 (You want to play a real football game... This is it)
I just recently bought my own Original Xbox off of Amazon and it will be my very first console that I fully own. Lots of good memories playing the Original Halo when I was little. I still have the disc in mint condition and it works.
I love Kinsey, she seems so sweet! she should start her own channel ;)
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory was always one of my favorites. I was soo excuted when I found out that Microsoft made it Backwards Compatible with the XBOX ONE. It looks great. You can even play Spies vs Mercs and Online Co-Op via xLink Kai System Link since the XBOX ONE is compatible with Kai.

Growing up we had a huge finished basement and my dad turned it into a "movie theatre" with a projector that would project a huge display onto a wall (like 12 feet wide and 9 feet tall) and a state of the art surround sound system for 2006. We also had a giant L-shaped couch and 2 recliners down there, and like 6 bean bags. We could hook up our consoles to the projector (Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2 etc), so our house was the HUB. Man, I would have like 6-8 friends over and we would play Halo 2 at 4x-split screen slayer in brawling tournements against each other for hours in the theatre basement. A theatre and surround sound made me and my brothers quite popular haha.
Spin the beat, Professor K! Oh man JSRF was my absolute favorite!
learned a lot of information about the original xbox thx ;)
Hopefully buyers will softmod their Xbox or get a modded one shod with the Xecuter or Xenium modchip :-) This original baby started XBMC aka Xbox Media Center aka Kodi.
One of the most robustly built consoles for its time. Mine is still running. Just finished Chronicles Of Riddick: Return To Butcher Bay
Wasn't it Escape from butcher bay?
+MlgPixelBoss My bad mate! Escape it was!
Mark you may have to trawl the Web for more info. I did the softmod in 2009 & I do believe a lot has changed from a tech perspective.
The softmod is your best bet although you require a PC that has IDE ATA HDD interface & a CD/DVD-ROM drive that can read the Linux ISO burnt on a blank CD.
Then you require about 2 hours of time & a few commands to be inputted. That's it.
Note - Some CD/DVD drives cannot read the burnt CD.
I can imagine why you said that & you are right. But there is this unquantifiable & sublimely amazing feeling that you have truly unlocked the potential of your Xbox. There is a potent slice of nostalgia when I switch it on and it comes on and I... Am....believe it or not... Actually using it to read my comics in the CBR & CBZ format. & The pan and scan using the controller is flawless. Apart from that Halo 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden, Conker, Dream fall, Syberia series & so many more awesome games makes you realise that this was the pinnacle of console evolution for its generation. Way ahead of its time in terms of quality and concept.
Ok, I shall zip up :-)
Hello,
Complete NOOB here. My original Xbox doesn't have a dashboard [a work mate gave it to me, for free]. I don't know much about the Xbox but mine say "Xecuter2" just before loading games so, does that mean that it's been modded? And what about the dashboard, how do I find it? Please let me know. Thank you kindly
You missed "Rally Sport Challenge 2"... An amazing one, even sold included in console pack, highly rated, and is unbelivable that has not been continued!
i had to choose between that an colin m'crae rally. was really happy i went with rally sport challenge 2. still can't believe how good the weather effects, snow, dust etc were on an xbox!
I just picked one up for $25! Its black with the green blob tribal type of graphic! I am pretty psyched!
Xbox versions 1.0-1.5 have a bad clock capacitor that should be removed asap. They have a 100% fail rate and will leak out, possibly ruining your xbox.
How do you find out what version you have?
Check out a youtuber called TechnoOnTop, he's got a pretty good guide to identifying which version your Xbox is. Lots of cool console mods as well.
Yeah I watched and figured out I have a 2005 v.1.6! Newer clock capacitor! Everything on mine is original,no modding or anything,but everything on and in my og is probably cleaner than what it was in 06. I keep it all dust free
I love the original xbox controller
+MRPyro Gaming Same here :3 I have never understood people hating it.
+metelidrummer I swear it's basically the same
+MRPyro Gaming What's funny is the number of people who bash the original Xbox's big controller, but if you compare it in size with a Dreamcast controller, it's not that much bigger & I don't recall anyone complaining about the size of the Dreamcast's controller.
+MaxSpender at least you can reach all the buttons on the dreamcast

Fable is a great game. I played through that entire series, with Fable 3 surprisingly being my favorite as you could REALLY be evil in that game especially as the king.
I like putting my favourite sound tracks and listening to music in gta vice city and San andreas driving around in a car on xbox original.

Morrowind.... The game that got me completely hooked on RPG's. Love it to death. My main character crossed the 700hr mark :)
"Can't be Nintendo with them round buttons." hahahaha
iidk I was pretty young playing an xbox about 3-6 before my brother sold it... the games I remember him having is dead or alive 3 (which got me on the series)street ball halo 2 or 3 ( I played only Co/Op with my sister I was afraid of those weird alien things that made weird noises)
Lol.
I remember when my sister sold her sons Xbox to our cousins bf. he started putting music on that thing and he didn't let it cool off or whatever and it fucking burnt out on him the same day he bought it.
then he tried to ask for his money back my sister just laughed at him.
I got my Xbox late July of this year for 16 bucks it's black with a Phillips drive. It is now my baby
I got mine from my Uncle December 6th 2015 (He just gave it to me)
I still have my Xbox from 2006. I’ve switched out the DVD drive, changed the capacitors, installed a new power block and painted the console sport yellow including the gem and have RGB coming through the controller slots. Still okay it to this day and currently replaying Halo 2 and PGR 2.
if only the gamecube had the breakaway cables, would have been nice to have on your last trip
Why did you say Xbox competed with Dreamcast?... that is completely false, if anything Xbox was a spiritual Sega console as microsoft worked with Sega and got the rights to the controller blueprints (hence why xbox had the 2 memory slot ports on the controller identical to Dreamcast) and Sega had a ton of exclusive Sega games. Sega was never in competition with Microsoft, they was working WITH them ever since Dreamcast, as it was using Windows CE. Xbox is the closest we got to Dreamcast 2.
Every gamer knows this!
Jesus just sais shit without checking his facts man.
E L S E W H E R E .... Or and more simply.... He misspoke.
You forgot to mention that you needed a dvd adapter that plugs in the Xbox to unlock the dvd watching feature.
I love my green Halo Xbox. A few weeks ago it wouldn't even power up, so I took that sucker apart and found 4 bulging capacitors. Replaced them and now it has new life...which makes me love it even more! I have some games in my amazon cart...Voodoo Vince, Oddworld Strangers Wrath, Toejam and Earl 3 and Stubbs the Zombie.
Awesome video. I'm currently going for a full North American Original Xbox collection. So many great titles on the Xbox to check out for new Xbox collector's. Keep up the great work bro.

*FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PLAY FABLE* play fable 1 & 2. don't play fable 3 or the kinect one
+1NF4M0US fable 3 was okay in my opinion. Really streamlined but the combat was still fun
I wouldn't even say Fable 2 tbh. It was kind of mediocre. First one is great though.
That's your opinion dude. I have played through Fable 1-3 and I was in love with the third one. The start was lame but later game was sweet.
+1NF4M0US I can agree with this.
The Fable games are actually ones that I can appreciate a bit more now than I did at the time, largely because NONE of them have lived up to the hype train that Molyneux built up for them. The original was supposed to be basically Oblivion with a morality system to hear his pitch, and Fable 2 was supposed to be basically the same thing, and both of them fell far short of that goal. At the time I found it disappointing enough that I just couldn't bring myself to buy the original game (especially since I already had Morrowind for my Xbox,) but by the time 2 rolled out I was on to Molyneux, and went in expecting basically a rehashed version of the original, which was pretty much what I got.
The first Fable is more creative, the second has arguably better gameplay and unarguably better character customization, and the third has, umm... QTEs in place of a dialogue system? Oh, and it brings back one of the worst characters from the second game just to piss you off, so there's that.
+1NF4M0US I loved fable 1, 2, and 3, and in fact, a few times a year, I really want to play fable 3 because it had some really memorable parts. I can't remember the last time I wanted to replay fable 1 or 2. Like even right now as I'm typing this, i'm thinking about fable 3 and now I want to play it again.
Fusion Frenzy would be a pretty cool title to have around when you want to play with friends. It's basically Xbox's take at their own version of Mario Party, and the best part was that it was still a fun game.
Love your original xbox videos. I literally just removed the failing clock capacitors.
A part of me died when she called the EXPANSION PACKS(!) for TES III: Morrowind DLCs... ;(
(+ If you play KotOR 1 & 2 on console, then you might need to have your brain checked since they are broken on console but are grealy imporved and very moddable on PC...)
Loooool kotor on mobile is better
Stubbs was released on PC later, is not an exclusive.
+Lord Alfajor its an exclusive console game at least
+Lord Alfajor True. Sadly it doesn't run on modern systems anymore :(
And there's the problem with PC. I can go grab my copy of Stubbs and pop it in my Xbox and play away.
Well it depends on the games. I mean I can play like three decades of games on my PC + several console generations and it's only a small amount of games, that don't work on modern systems. And it doesn't use as much space as all those consoles you would need to play retro. But still, I never would get rid of my old consoles. Especially 16bit-area will always have a special place in my heart.
+Dodi1932 Whats your point?
Can't resist Kenzie. She's gorgeous.
But beyond that, I can't resist your vids even if she's not involved. :)
Should have mentioned that the older Xbox models famously have a problem with the clock capacitor leaking that can ruin the console, so it's a good idea to replace or remove it. The only thing it does is save the time and date for a few hours after being unplugged, so I just removed mine.
Wow,MetalJesus actually said "fuck" and it waz uncensored,nice. 👍🏻
