It looks like you got the GTA 3 print with the original box art, which is pretty uncommon. The copies with the alternate cover art that were part of the GTA Double Pack are a lot more common. I'm pretty sure the GTA Trilogy versions used the original art.
EDIT: Apparently, Blockbuster Video also sold copies with the OG artwork as well. They're also going for upwards of $200-300 on eBay. So, nice find!
I was also surprised to find GTA 3 with the original box art, I’ve only ever seen the GTA Double Pack copies. I’m now looking for GTA Vice City with original cover art lol.
That’s crazy though! This copy of GTA 3 I got for $10. Thank you!
I bet someone just print that cover and replaced that one from Double Pack, because i never seen Xbox verison of GTA 3 or VC with PS2-like graphics on disc, so if u want, u can download from there cover [https://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover\_id=22932](https://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=22932) and print it on semi-gloss paper - can u make photo of disc from yours GTA3? I wonder if this is the Double Pack version with replaced cover art
Oh ok, I've always wondered about this because I bought a copy a long time ago from Hollywood Video/Game Crazy and it was a stand alone version with the typical cover art. Weird, thanks for letting us know.
EDIT : is the disc a different type of disc art as well or is it the same with "xbox collection" on it? I've never really read or heard anything about this.
Dude, Side Meier's Pirates absolutely makes that haul! That is such an underrated gem!
Also if you're still looking to buy more, it's cheaper in the long run to buy big lots, even on ebay. I bought a couple lots awhile ago and ended up paying between $2-$3 per game, all complete in box with manual, and I didn't have to leave my house.
I’ve never played it before but always wanted to! I was excited when I found it at the very last store I visited for the day. Can’t wait to give it a go!
I’ve been thinking about buying big lots especially since it ends up being cheaper per game but from what I’ve seen and heard it’s a bit of a gamble. I enjoy specifically selecting and inspecting individual games that I add to my collection, plus I’m a huge fan of road trips and supporting local businesses!
Yeah I get that, I'm really picky too. I won't buy games even for cheap at a thrift store if the manual is missing, or the box is thrashed. I bought those lots because the seller specified the games had their manuals, and there were a bunch of pictures, so I could see the condition. I wouldn't buy a big lot with sketchy or no details and not enough pictures. Sometimes the right lot comes up for sale though, so just keep watching.
I will chime in and say that Sid Meier's Pirates is STILL the best pirates game ever made. It's like Mount and Blade but pirate themed. I've done practically everything in it and still go back and play it. Enjoy it!
I have them on Steam but as a big Star Wars fan I absolutely had to get them physically for the Original Xbox. I was so hyped when I found them side by side on a shelf in great condition and CIB. Can’t wait to play through them.
Thank you!!!
Great games, unfortunately I couldn’t find the other two that are available for the console but I’m glad I was able to at least get one of them. Thank you!
Super excited to finally play them, unfortunately I couldn’t find the other DOA titles or the other Ninja Gaiden titles. But this is a great start with two great games!
Thank you!
The DOA Ultimate edition with 1 and 2 is pretty easy to find online or at local used game stores. In the past couple years a lot of these kinds of stores opened around me so maybe you have some too. The bundle is pretty cool if you can find it with the original case but separately they’re pretty cheap. As for NG, Black is the best version on OG Xbox and the sequels are only on 360. The only semi-difficult games to come across are the DOA Xtreme beach volleyball games with the second one being pretty pricey right now.
that half-life 2 xbox port still draws unique interest to this day. it's the only remaining way to play the game exactly as it existed in 2004. all other versions are patched and otherwise updated.
I'm not going to comment one way or another on what you paid but you got a lot of great titles here. I was going to list what I consider to be some standouts but there's actually so many great games there that it's pointless. Congrats on the haul.
For each title I picked up in store I searched what they were going for on EBay and etc. and found that each one was below average market price. If I bought all of these through EBay at the same time the price would’ve been much higher it seems.
I’m so glad I was able to find a lot of, what seems like, must have titles on my trip.
Thank you for the kind words!
If you had to buy them individually I think the price is great. As a lot it is probably about the price you'd expect. At least you have some great games in there!
All of these were selected by myself in the stores I went to and bought individually. I never buy game lots as it seems like a gamble and I like having complete control over inspecting and selecting what games I add to my collection.
Thank you for the kind words and your feedback! I can’t wait to play so many of these, especially Jade Empire!
Can’t wait to finally play both of them for the first time, I haven’t heard a lot of people talk about The Great Escape but every time I have it’s been nothing but great things.
Thank you!
I already have Halo CE and Halo 2 (as well as the steelbook) in my collection, unfortunately I couldn’t find Chaos Theory on my travels. But I’m definitely planning on getting it!
I never heard of Bloodrayne until I dove into what games I should get for the Original Xbox, it looks really great.
Thank you for the kind words! There really is a game for every one in this haul, I love game variety.
I loved the movie, but I was never able to play the game before and I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Excited to finally play it.
Thank you for the kind words!
Very very solid, my friend. Anyone critiquing the amount you paid should be very aware that anyone back in the day had to pay 50 bucks for each of these at retailers.
40 good condition games at $230 is just under $6 each which is still cheaper than I see at the chain used game shop I know.
Thank you for the kind words my friend!
While I was in the stores selecting games I searched them on EBay and other sites and found that they were going much below the average market value. The average cost of these games were between $5-$7 each, with only a select few being $10-$15.
But with all of them being in great condition for the discs/box and with manuals even then the price is still great!
This will be my first time playing The Great Escape! I do have Prisoner of War on my list to collect though!
Thank you so much for the rating and the recommendation!
*Holy shit I've*
*Played nearly all of those games...*
*This takes me back hard*

That must be why it was sold for just $3 lol, I don’t mind it being bad though! I plan on getting all of the Tom Clancy franchise games for the Original Xbox.
Thank you for sharing, I hope I was able to bring up good memories for you!
Ive always had a soft spot for enclave. I rented it a couple times in like 03-04 from a Hollywood video. I have it now and should go back and complete it. Pgr rules as well.
I’ve really enjoyed my time with Enclave so far.
After playing Gauntlet, and enjoying that as well, I wanted to have Enclave in my collection and wanted to play it
Thank you!
KOTOR 1 & 2, and Jade Empire were the biggest ones I was looking for while on my trip. The Simpson’s Road Rage and Sid Meier’s Pirates I found at the very last stop and immediately picked them up.
Can’t wait to play through them!
Project Gotham and Spiderman were games I loved playing as a kid! Nothing topped Midtown Madness 3 for me though. I’m actually super bummed it’s not backwards compatible with the 360
I grew up on Spiderman for the PS2 and once I saw a copy for $2 in great condition I had to get it. I already had Project Gotham 2 but I was missing the first one, I’ve been loving my time with the series!
I couldn’t find a copy of Midtown Madness 3 but I want to eventually collect it!
Thank you! I appreciate that!
I did a lot of research into the OG Xbox library before I really started collecting so I know what I should definitely be looking out for.
Glad to hear I’m doing good so far!
Missed out in the Star Wars games not getting Republic Commando, that game was class. Or Fable that's pretty good too.
Some of the finds are still beuts like.
I already have Republic Commando and Fable (plus The Lost Chapters copy) in my collection! Those were two of the first few games I got when I started collecting for the OG Xbox. Absolutely fantastic games, I love them both.
Thank you!
You got a lot of wonderful choices here, I was obsessed with Pirates Legend of Black Kat for yeeaars when I was a kid. Still replay it for the nostalgia every now and again.
Thank you!
I’ve never played it but I had it on my list to collect. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the game, I can’t wait to play it for the first time!
Do you do career mode in it? Trust me you won't be disappointed the handling physics are genuinely so brilliant more fun and realistic than any gran turismo game and I've played GT for my whole gaming life
I always play career mode in Forza games! I’ve always preferred Forza over GT ever since I was introduced to Forza with the 360. I even grew up playing GT and loved it but Forza is a different beast
Thank you!
Halo CE and Halo 2 + steelbook are already in my collection. I’m a big Halo fan and those games are absolute must haves for any OG Xbox collection
You found some great games. 10/10
Edit: Gotta go with a perfect 10 on this one. I didn’t catch that GTA 3 with original artwork instead of the double pack version. Huge win right there. Originally had 9/10 before the edit in case anyone is wondering.
Thank you for the kind words and the rating friend!
May I ask what deducted from the score?
Any bad apples in the bunch or did I miss a big title during my trip?
You’re welcome! Actually nothing to be honest. I need to edit that as a 10/10 as you have many of the best games on the Xbox, plus GTA 3 with the original artwork. That’s a huge deal to me as an owner of the GTA double pack 20 years ago.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
May I ask what caused the point deduction?
No, I got everything from multiple independent video game stores. In total I visited 9 different places.
State of Emergency is great fun, the camera angles with gameplay take some getting used to.
Unfortunately I didn’t see any copies of Kung Fu Chaos while I was traveling, one day I’ll have it in my collection!
Great collection! Some of my favorites from that time. I would also recommend looking for Freedom Fighters and Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. They would complement this collection in every way.
As far as the BEST, most enjoyable games on original Xbox... I see that you have KotOR, as well as Crimson Skies. Both of those are simply great games that are big fun. However, there are a couple of games that I never let go of because I liked them so very much.
The Thing. Simply put the Thing is mybfavorite movie ever and this game did a pretty decent job at the time of continuing the story. I like the mechanics within the game quite a but... and the ending of the game is classic.
Blood Wake. This is the BEST and most fun boat game that I have ever played and I played all the way through. Just a great all around game.
Finally... if you're a fan of KotOR then get KotOR II.
Thank you!
While I was in the stores, and from previous visits as well, I found that the games are sold much cheaper there than on EBay or other sites.
Plus I’m a big fan of supporting independent video game stores, and I love being able to see and inspect the games in person. I also love road trips!
I'd say the og, it has a whole chapter that's a prequel, just keep in mind that this game is unforgiving and is pretty difficult, however stun kicking Nazi's will never get old
Edit: by OG I mean Original Xbox.
I always passed the controller when I died in a game, you just have to. Thats the rule with friends and company!
May I ask what makes it seem that way?
lol I feel you
I was just messing around for real
But to answer the last part
It’s the titles of the games I see
The amount of 1 player games was my indicator that the controller is probably not being shared unless you got a brother who tells 🤣
I have a couple of questions For You
Your copy of driv3r it plays well?
Does it have general problems running on Xbox?
Or have You played it?
I'm asking because recently i got a copy of Driv3r, the disc look fine but couldn't load the Main mode of the Game, only the take a ride mode in Miami and only Miami.
I definitely recommend finding it and I also recommend find a racing game called Crash 'n' Burn too, pretty good game that doesn't get talked about a lot
I have a good amount of racing games on my list, Crash n Burn is actually one of them too!
I haven’t seen anyone really talk about it and I only know it exists because I’ve looked through the game catalog for the OG Xbox
I first learned of Crash n Burn when I got it for the PS2, but ever since I got an Xbox I had to get it for the Xbox too and my another game suggestion is Ford Mustang: The Legend Lives, bit similar to Ford Racing, not just in cars that is
It looks like you got the GTA 3 print with the original box art, which is pretty uncommon. The copies with the alternate cover art that were part of the GTA Double Pack are a lot more common. I'm pretty sure the GTA Trilogy versions used the original art. EDIT: Apparently, Blockbuster Video also sold copies with the OG artwork as well. They're also going for upwards of $200-300 on eBay.

I loved Crimson Skies so much.
I’ve been playing it via Xbox Backwards Compatibility but finally got it for the Original Xbox. Great game! Definitely a must have.
U got KOTOR 1 and 2 so GOD TIER WIN
I have them on Steam but as a big Star Wars fan I absolutely had to get them physically for the Original Xbox. I was so hyped when I found them side by side on a shelf in great condition and CIB. Can’t wait to play through them. Thank you!!!
Ah man dynasty warriors. These are sick!
Great games, unfortunately I couldn’t find the other two that are available for the console but I’m glad I was able to at least get one of them. Thank you!
DOA3 and Ninja Gaiden💪
Super excited to finally play them, unfortunately I couldn’t find the other DOA titles or the other Ninja Gaiden titles. But this is a great start with two great games! Thank you!

Pretty fantastic haul!
No way it’s actually Camp Xbox! I watch your vids all the time man, this means a lot coming from you! Thank you!
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoy the channel! I appreciate the kind words.
that half-life 2 xbox port still draws unique interest to this day. it's the only remaining way to play the game exactly as it existed in 2004. all other versions are patched and otherwise updated.

Props for two great games I love - Sid Meier's Pirates! and The Great Escape.
Can’t wait to finally play both of them for the first time, I haven’t heard a lot of people talk about The Great Escape but every time I have it’s been nothing but great things. Thank you!
I love that spider man game! So much replay value!
I grew up playing these Spiderman games on the PS2, I’m excited to relive the memories! I can’t believe it was sold for just $2!
Hell yeah man have fun! I had the Xbox version. I didn’t know it had extra levels on that console
Absolutely excellent collection 😀
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! 😄
Halo CE and 2 and Splinter cell Chaos Theory
I already have Halo CE and Halo 2 (as well as the steelbook) in my collection, unfortunately I couldn’t find Chaos Theory on my travels. But I’m definitely planning on getting it!
Nice bro, your almost there!
Amazing set of games, a lot of variety. I will also always mark out for BLOODRAYNE. I absolutely adore that series.
I never heard of Bloodrayne until I dove into what games I should get for the Original Xbox, it looks really great. Thank you for the kind words! There really is a game for every one in this haul, I love game variety.
Keep an eye out for Bloodrayne 2. It wasn't the best game out that year, but it did build on everything from the first game. Excellent sequel.
Solid Selection. The only game I'd just straight up throw in the bin would be Rainbow Six Lockdown.
I picked it up just because it was for $3 lol, plus I’m going to be collecting all Tom Clancy games for the OG Xbox. Thank you for the kind words!
Yeah kind of mad at that game for being hot garbage after R6, Rogue Spear and Ravenshield. Even Vegas with it's coop did a nicer job at being a game.
I got driver 3 the other day and never played it on Xbox only on playstation 2 great game though
I’m glad to hear you had a good time for it, I’m excited to start playing!
It's a great game you won't be disappointed
State of Emergency brings back some memories
As soon as I saw it on the shelf I picked it up immediately. Can’t wait to play it for the first time!
It’s in my opinion a classic, had so much fun with that game when i was younger
Already a win just seeing Chronicles if Riddick in the set, well done on the haul though.
I loved the movie, but I was never able to play the game before and I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Excited to finally play it. Thank you for the kind words!
It's an incredible game
Driv3r, Call of Duty 3, Red Faction 2, Spider-Man, GTA SA, Half Life 2, Blood Rayne, and GTA 3 all good
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Quantum redshift is a banger
I’ve never played it before but heard really good things about it. I’m excited to give it a go!
Very very solid, my friend. Anyone critiquing the amount you paid should be very aware that anyone back in the day had to pay 50 bucks for each of these at retailers. 40 good condition games at $230 is just under $6 each which is still cheaper than I see at the chain used game shop I know.

If you liked The Great Escape, I'd recommend Prisoner of War as well. 10/10 collection!
This will be my first time playing The Great Escape! I do have Prisoner of War on my list to collect though! Thank you so much for the rating and the recommendation!
Great games in there
Thank you! I appreciate it!
You got a lot of my childhood games there. I'd say it was a fantastic haul!
Some of these I played on the PS2, can’t wait to experience them again. Thank you so much!
Holy shit I've played nearly all of those games... this takes me back hard

Damn Rainbow Six Lockdown. The worst in the original Xbox series. So many memories with that franchise back in the day
I unironically enjoyed Lockdown, I thought it was great
That must be why it was sold for just $3 lol, I don’t mind it being bad though! I plan on getting all of the Tom Clancy franchise games for the Original Xbox. Thank you for sharing, I hope I was able to bring up good memories for you!
Black arrow was my favorite. Best childhood memory
Fantastic title in Legacy of Kain. It and the Soul Reaver follow up are delightful storytelling even if the gameplay is a bit... boxular.
I love Legacy of Kain, I grew up playing Soul Reaver 2 on the PS2. Can’t wait to get back into it! Thank you!
Ive always had a soft spot for enclave. I rented it a couple times in like 03-04 from a Hollywood video. I have it now and should go back and complete it. Pgr rules as well.
I’ve really enjoyed my time with Enclave so far. After playing Gauntlet, and enjoying that as well, I wanted to have Enclave in my collection and wanted to play it
Simpson's Road Rage and State of Emergency 👌
Thank you! Once I saw them I immediately picked them up, can’t wait to play them.
You need to get Psychonauts
I definitely need to! It’s on my list to collect, unfortunately I didn’t see a copy of it anywhere while I was traveling. One day though!
Hail yeah borther totally worth it if only for: KOTOR 1&2 LEGACY OF KAIN DEFIANCE HALF-LIFE 2
Thank you brother! I appreciate it! Definitely a group of fantastic games and must haves for any collection
Oooof chronicles of Riddick is such a good game still today.
I loved the movie and heard nothing but great things about this game. I had to pick it up as soon as I saw a copy.
Man you're going to love it if you loved the movies. It sets things up nicely for pitch black.
Sid Meier's Pirates. KOTOR 1 and 2. Jade Empire. The Simpsons Road Rage. This is great!!
Thank you! KOTOR 1 & 2, and Jade Empire were the biggest ones I was looking for while on my trip. The Simpson’s Road Rage and Sid Meier’s Pirates I found at the very last stop and immediately picked them up. Can’t wait to play through them!
Project Gotham and Spiderman were games I loved playing as a kid! Nothing topped Midtown Madness 3 for me though. I’m actually super bummed it’s not backwards compatible with the 360
I grew up on Spiderman for the PS2 and once I saw a copy for $2 in great condition I had to get it. I already had Project Gotham 2 but I was missing the first one, I’ve been loving my time with the series! I couldn’t find a copy of Midtown Madness 3 but I want to eventually collect it!
Project Gotham was fun! Many good choices here.
Thank you! I only had Project Gotham 2 and I finally found the first one. I’ve been really enjoying my time with the series!
Looks like u only got good ass games hell yeah
Thank you! I appreciate that! I did a lot of research into the OG Xbox library before I really started collecting so I know what I should definitely be looking out for. Glad to hear I’m doing good so far!
beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much! 😄
Bangers
Missed out in the Star Wars games not getting Republic Commando, that game was class. Or Fable that's pretty good too. Some of the finds are still beuts like.

Based choice of dead to rights
I heard nothing but great things about the game, I’m excited to play it for the first time. Thank you!
RF2 was the tits in its day, someone should remake it
I played RF2 via Backwards Compatibility on my XSX and had a lot of fun with it. I’m excited that I finally have a physical copy of it now
Nice, didn’t realize it was available. I had many hours into it - wrecking havoc, I remember some of it, was long time ago and like a few consoles ago
You'll be doing yourself a great service playing FlatOut. It was developed by the same group that did Wreckfest.
I’ve had it on my list to collect for a long time, so hyped to finally be able to play it. Looks like a blast!
Narc , such a good game
I didn’t find out about that one till recently, I heard a lot of good things about it. Excited to play it for the first time!
Crimson Skies and Jade Empire are the highlights there for me.
You got soul calibur 2 so you’re good in my books! 🫡
Not bad... But you need a copy of "Cold Fear"
Thank you! I definitely need a copy of Cold Fear, I have it on my list of games to collect. It looks fantastic.
Awesome haul!
Thank you for the kind words!
No problem! :)
Great! If you like racing games play Forza Motorsport 1 and NFSU2
Thank you! I already have Forza Motorsport in my collection, and NFSU2 is on my list to collect. I appreciate the recommendations friend!
Do you do career mode in it? Trust me you won't be disappointed the handling physics are genuinely so brilliant more fun and realistic than any gran turismo game and I've played GT for my whole gaming life
I always play career mode in Forza games! I’ve always preferred Forza over GT ever since I was introduced to Forza with the 360. I even grew up playing GT and loved it but Forza is a different beast
I specifically looked for two games right away. And you have both Kotor 1&2. Were my favorite games of that generation
Good but where is Halo: CE
Thank you! Halo CE and Halo 2 + steelbook are already in my collection. I’m a big Halo fan and those games are absolute must haves for any OG Xbox collection
rayman 3 and half-life 2 are goated
NARC & Pulse Racer are the most interesting for me.
Some of these are awesome games. Especially Spider Man, Fallout and Medal of Honor.
Max Payne 2 : The Fall of Max Payne is in my top five. You seem to be missing by Halo 2 though
You found some great games. 10/10 Edit: Gotta go with a perfect 10 on this one. I didn’t catch that GTA 3 with original artwork instead of the double pack version. Huge win right there. Originally had 9/10 before the edit in case anyone is wondering.
Thank you for the kind words and the rating friend! May I ask what deducted from the score? Any bad apples in the bunch or did I miss a big title during my trip?
You’re welcome! Actually nothing to be honest. I need to edit that as a 10/10 as you have many of the best games on the Xbox, plus GTA 3 with the original artwork. That’s a huge deal to me as an owner of the GTA double pack 20 years ago.
Jade Empire is stellar (maybe just viewing it through nostalgia glasses though)
Quantum Redshift is great. Tough af in the harder modes but fun racer regardless
Looks great. Kotor, Sid Miers Pirates, and Chronicles of Riddick are freaking fantastic.
Pretty nice haul right there!!! Enjoy!!!
9/10 good haul. Did you get everything from the same person?
Thank you! I appreciate it! May I ask what caused the point deduction? No, I got everything from multiple independent video game stores. In total I visited 9 different places.
25 to life 🤣🤣 oh man that game was something. one of the first games i ever played online.
narc was a pretty funny time lol. state of emergency also great fun.
It's pretty much a perfect Xbox collection
Lots of great games I’d give it a 10/10
Perfect choice of games here. 10/10
glad max payne 2 is there 🫡
I remember discovering that I have Shrek the Game for the og xbox. Anyways, Pirates is a great game
Jealous of NARC and DRIV3R still need those two games
These are really good finds
Big W for getting half life 2, pretty interesting game for the og Xbox
no Blinx or Cel Damage 8/10
State of emergency what a mad game that was. Need get kung Fu chaos Need check what game is saved on my harddrive
State of Emergency is great fun, the camera angles with gameplay take some getting used to. Unfortunately I didn’t see any copies of Kung Fu Chaos while I was traveling, one day I’ll have it in my collection!
Solid pick up, cant say anything bad about it, enjoy Also, some of these games are Insignia compatible, be sure to connect if you havent allready!
The fact that you still have a xbox that works to play this great find of a collection is mind blowing!
Great collection! Some of my favorites from that time. I would also recommend looking for Freedom Fighters and Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. They would complement this collection in every way.
As far as the BEST, most enjoyable games on original Xbox... I see that you have KotOR, as well as Crimson Skies. Both of those are simply great games that are big fun. However, there are a couple of games that I never let go of because I liked them so very much. The Thing. Simply put the Thing is mybfavorite movie ever and this game did a pretty decent job at the time of continuing the story. I like the mechanics within the game quite a but... and the ending of the game is classic. Blood Wake. This is the BEST and most fun boat game that I have ever played and I played all the way through. Just a great all around game. Finally... if you're a fan of KotOR then get KotOR II.
Looks like my old game stack
Just needs fightnight
I unfortunately couldn’t find a copy of Fight Night on my travels, I do want to get it eventually though!
Pretty sweet dude. Why don’t you just buy these on eBay or something though? What’s the reason for the search in person?
Thank you! While I was in the stores, and from previous visits as well, I found that the games are sold much cheaper there than on EBay or other sites. Plus I’m a big fan of supporting independent video game stores, and I love being able to see and inspect the games in person. I also love road trips!
You need to get burnout 3 takedown!
It’s on my list to collect! Unfortunately I didn’t find a copy of it while I was searching
Half - life 2 on Xbox is rough.
6/10
Thank you for the rating! May I ask what deducted from the score?
The Xbox version of return to Castle Wolfenstein has a completely different story from the PC version.
Really? I didn’t know that, that’s kinda crazy. Which is the better experience?
I'd say the og, it has a whole chapter that's a prequel, just keep in mind that this game is unforgiving and is pretty difficult, however stun kicking Nazi's will never get old Edit: by OG I mean Original Xbox.
I can tell this person was the type to not pass the controller when they died playing RPG games especially
I always passed the controller when I died in a game, you just have to. Thats the rule with friends and company! May I ask what makes it seem that way?
lol I feel you I was just messing around for real But to answer the last part It’s the titles of the games I see The amount of 1 player games was my indicator that the controller is probably not being shared unless you got a brother who tells 🤣
I have a milk crate full of og Xbox games if someone wants them.
💜
Much love! ❤️
I rate this collection a 0/Fable
That was one of the first OG Xbox games I collected, I’m a huge fan of the Fable franchise too. I also have The Lost Chapters copy of the game!
I have a couple of questions For You Your copy of driv3r it plays well? Does it have general problems running on Xbox? Or have You played it? I'm asking because recently i got a copy of Driv3r, the disc look fine but couldn't load the Main mode of the Game, only the take a ride mode in Miami and only Miami.
I have not played it yet, however once I do I will immediately follow up with an update for you!
Did not know San Andreas came out on original Xbox.
I didn’t know either until recently! I’ve only ever played it on PS2. Once I saw it I had to pick it up.
Where's Burnout 3?
Unfortunately I couldn’t find a copy of it during my travels, it’s on my list to collect though!
I definitely recommend finding it and I also recommend find a racing game called Crash 'n' Burn too, pretty good game that doesn't get talked about a lot
I have a good amount of racing games on my list, Crash n Burn is actually one of them too! I haven’t seen anyone really talk about it and I only know it exists because I’ve looked through the game catalog for the OG Xbox
I first learned of Crash n Burn when I got it for the PS2, but ever since I got an Xbox I had to get it for the Xbox too and my another game suggestion is Ford Mustang: The Legend Lives, bit similar to Ford Racing, not just in cars that is
Need to add metal arms
Don’t see any AMPED or THPS…or JSRF.
I already have all three in my collection 🫡
No halo?!?!?!?!? 😤
Was Sid Meier’s Pirates on Xbox too? Love (still) that game on PC.
How do you not have halo
I already have Halo CE and Halo 2 + steelbook edition in my collection!
No Halo?! 😫
I didn't like Driver 2 or 3. I know you're stuck in the car in the first one, but if it's not going to be fun I don't want to get out! 😂
Need to do the same myself. Anyone here around Wyoming-Montana and have any games?
I remember liking The Great Escape! Nice work finding some gems
Damnnn I forgot about dynasty warriors 🔥🔥🔥
Where are the halo games at? 😂
Good haul, need the splinter cells and youll be set.
Sid Meiers pirates! You need def jam fight for NY! Otherwise good haul!
Driv3rs music playlist and cutscenes are legendary. As a kid, that was like the only game I had for long time.
No og Xbox haul is complete without fusion frenzy
Dude you have NARC? Insane find
no metal gear 2 or 3?
Damn I forgot about Red Faction
