If you still have any of these ORIGINAL XBOX games laying around you can now play them on your XBOX ONE!!!
They are also downloadable from the XBOX MARKETPLACE...
If you are into retro gaming like I am then this is great news!!
Some of the titles are games I never got to play before, but will probably play now that they are COMPATIBLE TO PLAY ON THE XBOX ONE...
AD:
GET A MODDED XBOX WITH OVER 2500 RETRO GAMES ON IT!
INCLUDING NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64 Games and Retro Arcade Games.
I even have collected over 300 ORIGINAL XBOX GAMES OVER THE YEARS!!!
So it would actually be great if they released a lot more of the ORIGINAL XBOX games on the compatibility list....
Supposedly the reason they can't release the whole catalog of games is because a lot of the publishing companies have gone out of business and problems with some of the music licensing... So keep your fingers crossed for the release of more of the OG XBOX games!!!

Perhaps with the exception of the Xbox One X, Microsoft’s biggest E3 2017 announcement was the addition of original Xbox backward compatibility. The Xbox One X is still two weeks from release, but the Xbox marketplace has already begun to receive original Xbox games, priced at $9.99 each (though your original discs should also work, if you still have them). And today, IGN reports that the functionality — along with 13 original Xbox games —
Some of these are available to purchase in the Xbox marketplace right now, if you’re so inclined.
As for what’s next? It won’t be a dump of every original Xbox game previously made compatible with the Xbox 360.
“A curated list of key games was the way to go with this,” Xbox’s Bill Stillwell told IGN. The predictable combination of missing contracts and music licensing, exacerbated by defunct publishers, is to blame, according to Stillwell.
Add in one of these soon-to-be-released Duke controllers and an embarrassing early-aughts soundtrack, and you’ve got some of your childhood back.
