Wow lots of memories coming back looking at that thread.

Crimson Skies was such an amazing online game.

Wow, that guy did a great job making that.

Here is MSFT's official timeline if you all want to see it.

Yes that thread gave me a warm feeling :p. The xbox had so special great games!

Nothing quite like 8-player Halo LAN parties with my roommates back in the day. It was a tossup between that and SSBMelee for awhile.

The original Xbox was such a great console, I loved that big black beast

I dropped one of mine on my foot once, broke my foot, console was fine fortunately. Thinking back on it, did I perhaps do it subconciously to be able to call off school and spend more time with the console?... I love that big box. <3

Haha nice

The console wasn't the only thing that sturdy either. I'm usually a very calm gamer, but I remember one time when I was trying to beat the first level of Halo 2 on legendary (which for some reason was the most painfully difficult experience of the game) and after dying like 30 times in a row I lashed out with my arm and the controller slipped out of my hand. It crashed right into the wall on my right, and actually made a dent in the wall too. Amazingly, the controller didn't have a scratch on it, and worked perfectly fine.

I remember when the Xbox had some unique games like Voodoo Vince and Blinx. Oh! and Grabbed by the goulies.
