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.

This was my first console. I won it when I was 5 from a local radio station.

The original Xbox was more powerful than the Wii. Think about that, it's crazy.

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.

I dropped out of college to play morrowind. I still owe $12,000 and have no degree. LOL

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.

The original Xbox was so ahead of its time.

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!!!

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

Crimson Skies was a gorgeous video game on the original XBOX. The graphics were epic for the platform!

I spent so much of my college years playing a roommates XBOX. Since I had a PS2 the Xbox exclusives seemed so amazing. It's nice to see it getting respect.

My favorite console of all time. There will never be another Xbox... such an amazing machine.

We like to call this the Dreamcast 2.

20:31 The Moment MetalJesusRocks went from PG to TV-14

''I have no idea how I managed to finish collage!" "I'm sure others are wondering as well" Damn..!

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.

What other Original XBOX games would you recommend to the 1st time XBOX collector to play?

13:48 "I don't know how I graduated" "I'm sure a lot of people are probably wondering that too"

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!

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.

This is one of the few channels I still watch pretty regularly. It's mostly because Kinsey is so freaking adorable though :P

*STUBBS THE ZOMBIE* FUCK YES!!! FUCK!!! *YES!!!* God that game needs so much more attention

Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay easily one of the greatest games ever made.

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.

13:50 He just low Key burned her, lmfao.

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.

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!!

Jet Set Radio was a beast of a game

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! 👍

Iron Maiden Australian tour commercial before your videos lately. No Skip Ad! Awesome!

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.

my dad still apologizes to this day for passing up a crystal with original controller and a/v for $20 at my local free-market

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!

The Opeth flag at the back of your room is still the best thing ever.

Just got a halo Xbox with the halo controller for $55 👌🏼

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.

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

I got an original Xbox for $50 at a retro game store. And forza Motorsport for $1 at the same store.

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!

I'm now convinced to buy an xbox

It's an honor @metaljesusrocks is wearing our tee! TeeNoEvil.com :) Thanks so much for the support!

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

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!

I loved my XBox here in the UK. Halo 2 and Battlefront . so many memories :)

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

Totally found my Halo edition XBOX with the green controller at Goodwill for $5 :)

OG xbox was amazing, I have one on the way for Monday, super excited!

I love Kinsey, she seems so sweet! she should start her own channel ;)

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

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...

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

to this day I am still not bored of the original thrillville

The most powerful console of the 6th generation. I love it so much.

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

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.

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

Ooooh another Kinsey video ♡♡♡♡

Love the outtake

Timesplitters Future Perfect online is awesome, got to love Xlink kai

I love Kinsey, she seems so sweet! she should start her own channel

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

Man, this is just the best channel on KZfaq. No exceptions.

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.

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.

"The Mountain Dew XBox had such a bizarre color!" (almost exactly matches the wallpaper)

Has anyone else played blinx the time sweeper? It's an extremely obscure game I really haven't seen much gameplay of it on youtube

Love your original xbox videos. I literally just removed the failing clock capacitors.

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.

Every time I see Kinsey's face on the thumb nail I immediately toss what ever I'm doing aside and click on the video frantically =:O)(

"Can't be Nintendo with them round buttons." hahahaha

I have the Crystal Limited Edition Xbox which is the first ever gaming console I bought with my own money that I earned from work. The controllers already broke but I was able to fix one of them by taking parts from my other controller and replacing the cable from a cheap controller but the console still runs to this day! Sadly I do not have the games anymore but I kept the console anyway as it has a special place in my heart.

Just finished my 12th play through of KOTOR on the box, love the system!

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

learned a lot of information about the original xbox thx ;)

I bought the original xbox when it came out, loved it then and still love it to this day, i still have one and I'm still collecting for it 😊

Morrowind.... The game that got me completely hooked on RPG's. Love it to death. My main character crossed the 700hr mark :)

I love the original xbox controller

Nice AoT shirt! BTW I need to buy this console.

I loved the og xbox, 4 player conflict desert storm was amazing spent hours on that game and then the rest of the series.

I had an Xbox back in the mid 00s sold it and I regretted it ever since and I just bought one again for my birthday last year it was such a great console it brings back alot of teenage memories

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.

I had a crystal xbox that was modded :) good times!

yes stubbs the zombie was my most favorite game of all time when I was little

I got my Xbox late July of this year for 16 bucks it's black with a Phillips drive. It is now my baby

More Kinsey!

THE MORE YOU KNOW.

Gotta say my fav controller was the air flow controller. great for keeping the hands cool. keep it up guys! ROCK ON!.

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.

The biggest problem though is that goddamn clock capacitor

Spin the beat, Professor K! Oh man JSRF was my absolute favorite!

Kinsey is so pretty and really nice to listen to, just as Metal Jesus's voice actually nice combo xD

Games were seriously better on xbox when compared to the competitors at the time. I loved this console.

I love you two laughing at having dial-up in 2001. Meanwhile I had dial-up until 2011. :(

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)

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.

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.

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.

if only the gamecube had the breakaway cables, would have been nice to have on your last trip

Thanks to this video, and your Xbox hidden gems videos, I have a pretty beefy Xbox collection

I just picked one up for $25! Its black with the green blob tribal type of graphic! I am pretty psyched!
