Xbox news Have not seen a thread for it, but 13 titles are coming to the xbox one tomorrow, oct 24. Nice because I still have four of those titles , and I think I paid 50 dollars canadian back in the day. Its kinda annoying in one way, that I can’t start loading the titles now. I am assuming that the original disc authenticates, and a digital copy has to be downloaded, so thats time I have to wait. If I could load up now, and simply wait till the gate opens, that would be fine. Multiplayer for Crimson Skies is gonna be rammed, first time I am going to have to wait for that game in a long time. The second batch of titles is going to be released in the spring. Its a curated roll out and if you have a favorite game, it might be a while before it rolls out. Some companies no longer exist, others had contracts written in paper, a big deal for some reason, while others might be missing music due to rights issues. ---

Here’s [the list I found](https://www.polygon.com/2017/10/23/16520304/original-xbox-backwards-compatibility-xbox-one-release-date), based on what’s being offered in the Store: [ul] [li]Black[/li][li]BloodRayne 2[/li][li]Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge[/li][li]Dead to Rights[/li][li]Ninja Gaiden Black[/li][li]Fuzion Frenzy[/li][li]Grabbed by the Ghoulies[/li][li]The King of Fighters Neowave[/li][li]Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time[/li][li]Psychonauts[/li][li]Red Faction 2[/li][li]Sid Meier’s Pirates![/li][li]Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic[/li][/ul] I’m surprised the Halo games aren’t on there. Did they maybe rerelease them already? ---

> [@BigT](#): > > Here’s > I’m surprised the Halo games aren’t on there. Did they maybe rerelease them already? The Halo: Master Chief Collection had all of previous Halo games in it, with updated graphics. I loved both of the Crimson Skies games, and am looking forward to being able to play again. Now I wonder if GOG or someone has the first one playable on win 10. ---

Well thats a bummer, Crimson skies for anyone curious no longer has xbox live, so the only way your going to get multiplayer is to use system link through something called Kai, which sounds a lot like the old xboxconnect. ---

I might play Prince of Persia again, for old time’s sake. No, no, no…that’s not how it happened! ---

I found my Crimson Skies disc in a dust-covered milk crate, and right next to it was Kotor. The Crimson Skies download was 4.78 gig. I haven’t installed Kotor, and probably won’t. I’m amused that on the back of all the Xbox discs was the proud “HD Enabled: 480p”. Oh, and to answer my own question from before: there appears to not be any official backports to the PC Crimson Skies, but there is apparently a fan-made patch that lets it run on modern systems.
