So many hours sunk into playing Halo 1 with my friends growing up. Literally playing until the sun came up. Then for my 13th bday in 2004 I got an Xbox with Xbox live and Halo 2. Changed my life.

Would give anything to go back to those days.

Were you ever any good at the fancy stuff like double-shotting, BXR, and doing the super bounces? Some of my friends were really really good at that stuff and I sucked so hard, I moved on to Halo 3 as fast as possible because it didn't have all that stuff.

I miss this feeling. I remember being so blown away and intimidated by the PS2 boot up that parents had to tell me to calm down.

[@nikolaisedov2295]

Hahaha and I remember the excitement asking my uncle to boot up Unreal Tournament on his PC for me when I couldn't even pronounce the name of the game properly yet

[@josephberryman4106]

This takes me back man God I miss these days

[@ChiTownBaby5700]

my first console as a kid, memories.

[@IGLXenix]

I love how they had the Dreamcast right next to the Xbox. Seeing as the OG Xbox was the spiritual successor to the Dreamcast. :)

[@MyRetroLife]

They belong together!

[@IGLXenix]

@@MyRetroLife That they do!

[@jigzonyt517]

The the 360 was seen as the successor not the og Xbox if I remember correctly

[@Agret]

@redefinescience Not true, the Dreamcast OS was not running on Windows CE. It was possible to boot up Windows CE applications on the Dreamcast but it was rarely used. > To be clear, the Dreamcast didn't run Windows CE. It never ran anything in the sense of a traditional OS, instead injecting the necessary bits when it booted up a game. What Microsoft and Sega had done was partner up to allow game developers to build titles for Windows CE that would run on the Dreamcast. The dream was real: help game developers create titles for PC and console using Windows-based tools. > Despite the celebratory trumpets and huge press attention on the fact Microsoft and Sega had come together, Windows CE on the Dreamcast was a catastrophe. The console itself enjoyed a short life, but Windows CE was barely adopted at all. > This is because Sega also had its own custom software that was offered as a choice to developers on the Dreamcast. And, overwhelmingly, it became the favorite. There were very few titles ever made that used Windows CE, despite the fact the Microsoft logo was proudly displayed on the front of the console. > Funnily enough, the first title to showcase Windows CE was Sega Rally 2, a first-party title. Less than 50 games were produced using Windows CE. Source: www.windowscentral.com/sega-dreamcast

Not for Sonic Team iirc.

[@LonghornsLegend]

I've watched this video a bunch of times. Love how that guys dad waited for him on his way home, love that bond.

[@viccsi]

When you're so stoked that you are loud reading the "System Info" xD

[@o8thnaspliff]

The OG Xbox has a special place in my heart.

[@cosmic_4923]

I get so sad looking back at these types of videos but I also get happy knowing this all happened at one point

[@mikeb6410]

Nothing like a good MRL video binge to get you in the mood for Christmas.

[@TWolfyG]

That green and black design home design will never get old

[@7mike2300]

Loved playing the wolverine game on the Xbox and being able to listen to the music that was stored on my hard drive.

[@BrandonA]

I remember receiving this from my Grandparents 20 years ago on Christmas. I couldn't comprehend the advancements that came along with this console after coming from an N64 (after 5 years). The games I got with it were Project Gothem, Airforce Delta Storm, NFL Fever '02, Much's Odyssey & Amped -- I didn't know where to start!! That bootup and Disc-read sound... NOSTALGIA!!

[@RetroRivals]

Love the OG Xbox start up, so nostalgic. Cheers 🍻

[@AzureSymbiote]

Starting up a new system in the old days was a magical experience.

[@uberhaxornovanongalaktiksk9798]

xbox/ps1 era was porbably the best time to be alive to play on a console imo, the games on it were so unique back then with a lot of mystery.

[@HipnikDragomir]

Ah, the wonder of getting a new console. Experienced it again recently with my PS5. Such a great feeling. Thanks for recording and posting this. Fun to look back on.

[@Icetea-2000]

Good job on getting one, did you have to pay far above MSRP?

[@DANRYX]

I am 100% with you. When my brother and I got our first Xbox and Halo, we set up a private match with just us two and we started looking at each other with such mindless excitement and kept talking about how unbelievable this is. I then realised that nearly 5mins passed and we didnt even start the match. I never had that feeling before or since, until the PS5.

[@TBCLaker]

This is one of the most nostalgic things I’ve seen in awhile

[@John.Kramer]

Almost makes me sad because of how time Flys. Almost! If it wasn't for Xbox. It'd be sad. Lol

[@Ryan_but_the_name_was_taken]

that old tv makes it look like its actually inside the tv. you will never get that feeling ever again.

[@michaelwoods7770]

Yea got some vibes from this. Man I was so stoked.

[@tvt00ns]

It's really cool seeing what it's like to experience The original Xbox for the first time. This feels like a part of gaming history! Great video🎮

[@igorkukanja6941]

Woooaahh the memories... i was a playstation guy, my best friend bought an xbox, it was a huuuge console, was very impressed when i saw it the first time, ..the menus, the games.. I remember how much we played sega gt, rallisport challenge, jet set radio ... and of course halo, one of the greatest games ever. Nice times.

[@igorkukanja6941]

@slippy yes it was a bundle Sega GT and JSR Future on the same disc. And lets not forget project gotham racing.. always great racing games on xbox

[@HonkeyKong54]

I remember having a ps2 and going to a friend's house where his dad just bought an xbox and when he booted it up I was so amazed it reminded me of the matrix. Not only that but gta looked so different and clear and it had the custom radio station feature where you could use your own music. But what really blew my mind was dead or alive the graphics were absolutely insane and looked so realistic at the time. I wanted one so bad after that day.

[@loganb420]

halo was gold if one of the homies had an xbox then if someone had a playstation I'd always be wanting to play Ratchet and Clank!! lol

[@yellopops]

I can proudly say I still have this xbox with me and it’s still working fine.

[@mr.curtis6730]

Mine has been through hell and it still works though the clock battery is dead

[@assmane999]

“It’s gonna blow up the tv!” . Good to see dad humor hasn’t changed much in 22 years.

[@The404Studios]

Music - Mech assault. Best arcade game fasa made before going out of business.

[@raphaelrodriguez1856]

I made so many friends and acquaintances despite being an annoying preteen on MechAssult. I still remember some of their gamer tags such as ViperSG13

[@dingle2987]

I feel Crimson Skies High Road to Revenge was my fave. I’m gonna give Shadowrun some love for its core gameplay, despite it not being what fans wanted, and MS ruining the price.

[@Samo_Wings]

I remember when my brother came home with a 360 back in 2005 right before Christmas. It was INSANE to see and watch him play in HD. Obsessed watching him play “Unreal Championship” online. Good times.

[@redraiderrider3289]

ObSeSsEd. Should get that checked out.

[@Samo_Wings]

@@redraiderrider3289 you’re an off fella, you should get that checked out

[@0106johnny]

I wish I could enjoy anything as much as this guy enjoys reading the xbox terms and conditions.

[@sparktheflame102]

Love it!! Such great memories.

[@MrBoombastic1904]

I didn't get to start mine on launch day but my sister and I went to visit my dad in FL for Christmas that year. He had gotten us the Xbox and Halo, we were NOT expecting it at ALL and I remember my mind just being blown by everything I was seeing on the screen. Good times, great memories!

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

Monster of a machine, you know it’s special when the graphics on a bunch of titles from 20 years ago still hold up

[@ImAustinTopham]

Second Sight, Land of the Dead, Spider Man 2, and Jaws will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@ShaneMcKenna]

23 years later I still boot up my modded original xbox and love playing it. Funny I have Xbox One S and the previous ones and PS5 and back and sometimes I enjoy playing the older systems more than the current generation.

[@Spintechfilms]

So many memories with the OG XBOX, its one of my most loved and cherished console from my life

[@ninjamurai]

Cant believe all this changes ive experienced on gaming, moving from NES to SNES to N64, so on... and now to PS5, have so many great memories. Cant wait to see what the future holds in the future in gaming.

[@xorry77]

this is so cool. i was born 2 years after this and putting that into perspective is so wild.

[@RustyyMann]

That start up sound is unmatched

[@jasonetheridge4795]

I wasn’t even born when this came out, (missed it by a few months) but I will never forget when I turned on my 360 for the first time with reach and playing the campaign. Still one of the most emotional and just fun to play campaigns ever. When George died I straight up cried as a kid.

[@dragomilosevic4823]

I remember when halo 2 was supposed to be the last game in the series.

[@JM-kv2kn]

360 and Reach was also my first console and game. So many memories meeting people online and "game night " custom games on Fridays and Saturdays. I don't have as much time to play now but Halo Infinite finally brought Halo back.

[@RxCGaming]

man this took me back, i will never forget that generation of consoles... so good.

[@nateclipps]

@@bilbobaggins9451 what? That’s a lie the Xbox 1, 360, PS4, Nintendo switch, 3DS are revolutionary consoles. Gaming has gotten so much better now!! Stop it!!

[@JM-jd2bf]

i remember being a kid and going with my mum to get a game from the video game store and just staring at the screenshots on the back being so excited to play, man i miss those days

[@FecalMatador]

I was a Sony Nintendo kid, but seeing my cousin play Street Hoops and NBA Street with custom music. Back then that was unheard of

[@TheShaund]

The fact that you're even from the Houston area and we are about the same age makes your videos just kick so much butt and bring back so many memories

[@rememberthefallen1970]

Literally brought tears to my eyes. Nostalgia has taken me.

[@justno8019]

lol crybaby

[@user-sx7kg4sr4t]

I come back here just for the feels.

[@ericm1430]

I know that feeling. So many hours on halo split-screen. The good old days.

[@GiancarloColfer]

*It was an easy decision to subscribe after watching this retro and nostalgic video! GG’s and game on!*

[@solidus1995]

The aesthetic of the old Xbox menu is honestly one of the best of any console even to this day.

[@MattsMadnessOfficial]

I miss this and the xecuter 3 modchip running slayers evox and xbmc those were the good ole days milkdrop back in the day was mind-blowing
