[@GaryRetroGamer]

I have been waiting years to create this video! I hope it was worth the wait!

[@dougr.8653]

I am a proud supporter of the Xbox consoles since 2003. My first Xbox game that I bought with it was Bruce Lee: quest of the dragon. Thanks a lot for the video. Cheers!

[@GaryRetroGamer]

OMG ... I tried to get Bruce Lee: QotD in this video - but sadly, I could not find a copy of the game.

[@sonicmania9993]

I had 74 og xbox games in my collection this morning, but after watching this video I went online and found 12 more gems! Luckily for my wallet, they were all under $20 ... most under $10, and all complete-in-box! Thanks for making these videos, Gary, which for me are part nostalgia trip and part adventurous shopping guide. I spring forth from the 6 seconds of each game that you provide, do some research on the ones that interest me (and some others I see along the way), make a few smart purchases, and happily prepare to play some 'new' games! I so appreciate your archival-style format: 101 games in 10 minutes is much more interesting to me than a lot of those retro game guides on YT, with guys rambling on for 15-20 minutes about 10 games I already know about. Happy gaming!

[@GaryRetroGamer]

It may not look like it, but I actually put a lot of effort (30+ hours) into trying to make these videos comprehensive and valuable for people who are looking to learn about a system, or for collectors such as yourself. So when I read comments like this, it 100% makes it all worth while! Thank you for your kind words and letting me know at least one person out there appreciates - and takes notice of - my effort! Can I ask what 12 games you added to your collection after watching this?

[@sonicmania9993]

​@@GaryRetroGamer So I already had about 30 games on this video's xbox exclusive list, concentrated in my favorite old genres like racing, platform, rpgs, plus of course hall of famers like Halo & Ninja Gaiden and underappreciated classics like JSRF & the Otogi games. I've had many of these since back in the day, but have bought a few more in recent years, notably Gunvalkyrie and Murakumo which I've just had for a couple of years but love. This week I purchased the following nine games on your xbox exclusive list: - Brute Force - Enclave - Kung Fu Chaos - Mad Dash Racing - Midtown Madness 3 - NightCaster 1: Defeat the Darkness - Phantom Crash - Tork: Prehistoric Punk - Unreal Championship 2 Also found three more games that I decided to pick up while researching: - BloodRayne 1 (multi-plat) - BloodRayne 2 (multi-plat) - NightCaster 2 (another og xbox exclusive) I know that only a couple of the games shipping to me are '8 out of 10' type games, but I enjoy playing 7's and 6's too, especially games that are evocative of the time they came out. Enclave and NightCaster for instance are clearly not as good as other games in their genre, but they seem so '2002 Xbox' to me and I love that.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Great choices! Brute Force is pretty good, and Mad Dash Racing is fun. I actually quite liked Enclave (it's also available on the PC) but Phantom Crash has a sequel on the PS2 ("SLAI") - which is actually superior. Kung Fu Chaos was the first game by studio Ninja Theory (who recently released Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice). Unreal Championship is great - but I don't know if you'll get the best out of it since Xbox Live support is gone. And I totally agree that 7s and 6s are interesting. (If you've seen any of the "underrated/unknown" videos on this channel, you'll see that's where I tend to gravitate). I'm glad to see the XBox fans still represent! Thanks for sharing!

[@GaryRetroGamer]

PS. Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit is horribly underrated. I love it.

[@Infyra]

@@sonicmania9993 Enclave was actually amazing, it had unreal graphics for its time but it was hard as hell with no saving within the levels, quite the "Dark Souls" experience difficulity wise.

[@IdleRain]

Most of these games had PC ports or original releases, just like all Xbox consoles actually. But there is a handful of good exclusives that can't be played anywhere else (Unless emulation keeps improving at the currently steady rate)

[@GaryRetroGamer]

True. The good news is that some of them are actually being slowly re-released on modern platforms For example, Voodoo Vince has been ported over - and Metal Wolf Chaos is on the way...

[@TheKeithvidz]

My guilty pleasure Doa Volleyball in the thumbnail.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

It shouldn't be guilty! It's a well produced, polished volleyball game with great graphics, sound, and is just a lot of fun to play. I am a proud DOA Volleyball fan!

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

Nice one, Gary. Tons of great memories with that machine.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

I did as well - and I had actually forgotten many of them. Making this video brought lots of them back. For example, loading up my old Halo 2 save, I discovered I was one of those wierdo "southpaw" control configurations. Ah, the innocent days of the mid 2000s

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

@@GaryRetroGamer I had forgotten the two Blinx games and Voodoo Vince..... decent platformers.

[@alex.starostin]

(If this video gets enough views, I'll create another "100 Xbox games", but this time showcasing games that were non-exclusives) I guess 60k views is not enough...

[@sk2rex]

Finally a xbox game list, good job

[@liquidpuffin5267]

I’ve looked for Geometry Wars as a stand alone game and can’t find it anywhere online. Not even a picture of it. Is Geometry Wars it’s own disc with case, cover art and manual? Or is it a bonus game on another disc? I’ve read that Project Gotham 4 on the 360 has a version of it as a bonus game. Any clarity would be nice as I am trying to collect all 884 games. I also read several complete lists of Original Xbox games and none of them list it. So if you have it as it’s own game then I can’t even imagine what it’s worth. Likely more than Steel Battalion.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Geometry Wars isn't a standalone game. It only exists as a hidden mini-game in Project Gotham Racing 2 - and never had a retail release.

[@kyoushuu_]

Can someone please tell me the game on original Xbox where you drive into a pit with objects that you can land on there was also a green mattress in the pit

Where did you obtain a copy of Geometry Wars? I never knew that it was on the original Xbox.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Great question - I cheated a little here. Geometry Wars was never a standalone release; it was actually a mini-game hidden in Project Gotham Racing 2! This is where the series started.

[@T0XICMASCULINITY]

@@GaryRetroGamer Oh that makes sense, and is cool to know also. I'm surprised I'm just now learning about it, but now I gotta go get a copy PGR2 to add to my collection.

Phantom Crash was an underrated gem. Loved that game. Giant mechs, destruction, customization and making sweet dosh. What's not to like?

[@GaryRetroGamer]

All these IP’s but all Microsoft wants to make are Halo, Forza and indie titles lol

[@MizfitZer0]

Yup. Crazy isn’t it? Why not make another Blinx or Conkers for example?

[@VUZOOKA]

Yeah this video pretty much shows how many console exclusive games there were then on consoles. Nowadays 90% of games I play are available on other systems, so it's almost as of it doesn't matter which console you buy. Even so, modern consoles do have their differences, but perhaps not as many as back then.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

I am personally kind of glad we've got to this point. I like the fact that "exclusivity" is rapidly becoming a dead concept. Why should you have to spend several hundred dollars on another piece of hardware just to play a handful of titles? Gaming is about the gameplay experience, not the hardware. If someone told you that you had to buy different TVs just to watch different programs, you'd think they were insane.

[@WeAreTheOnesWhoLive11]

Brute force is one i still play today i have more than half of these

[@Infyra]

Such a cool game, awesome multiplayer title too.

[@marc3122]

A lot of these games hold up unbelievably well. Honestly better looking than some modern titles.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Indeed many of those were great games - but I think it's more of a statement of how stagnant current gen games have become. Since that Xbox/PS2/GameCube generation, we haven't really seen any major advances in gaming. Sure they look a little prettier now (or worse, if you're into that whole retro indie asthetic) - but game styles themselves hasn't evolved much since the early 2000s. The bulk of games released today are still the standard FPS, or open world 3rd person style which haven't changed much since those days.

[@retrod8bit158]

Project Breakdown was such an underrated gem that was a bit ahead of its time, i enjoyed it so much and got immersed in the story and characters even as a half clueless 8 year old but i never beat it becauss of one dumb trick at the final stage now even to this day i dream of playing it once more, i think it didn't get much recognition because it was an exclusive otherwise we could have seen a sequel

[@GaryRetroGamer]

YEAH! Breakdown was great! The first game that let you vomit from a first person perspective! The stuff they were doing - especially with the melee combat - was so far ahead of its time. I unfortunately, didn't get very far into it - because even though I was older than 8 years old - I still got stuck at some tricky bits and end up giving up. Totally needed a sequel. Hopefully we'll see a remaster soon. Maybe in VR (lol)!

Ok, so that's one thing I don't miss off retro gaming; poorly signposted boss fights. Game designers generally don't do stuff like that any more - they'll tend to make "what the heck do I do?" more obvious...

[@shuvam6952]

Damn, that ending bro... Also, why not make a list of games that were on all consoles but visually and even technically superior 9n the XBox??? Like the Splinter Cell Series, Ghost Recon series, Max Payne, Hunter: The Reckoning, The Warriors, GTA: SA, Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets, NFS: Carbon, NFS: HP, Brothers in Arms...

[@GaryRetroGamer]

I 100% had that very same idea: "Here's how it looked on the Xbox!" - the reason I didn't, however, is that I realized most PS2 clips available on KZbin have been upscaled/uprezzed/enhanced, which means they look pretty good; and when compared with my original 480p Xbox captures - make the Xbox look firmly inferior. A couple of games even hit 1080i (simply impossible on the PS2) on the Xbox - but again, the impact would be lost. Additionally, if I did a video like that, the PS2 fanboys would get all up in arms and defensive and then flood these comments with crap, which I don't want to deal with. So, a great idea - but not practical. (PS. Isn't that ending great? I may switch the thumbnail of the video to a scene from the ending if I need to get more views...)

[@shuvam6952]

@@GaryRetroGamer Hahaha, I agree... Am a PS2 fan myself, but not a fanboy... I love the XBox equally... Heck, I used to play go to a game parlor to play on the OG XBox even when I had a PS2 and PS3 back at home...

I immediately asked the owner if he would sell the console for 80 bucks... Obviously he refused, but I still completed the game at the parlor... Been a From Soft fan ever since...
