Original Xbox Games- 360 Compatability

I don't know about most of you, but I just haven't been able to get around to upgrading to the newer, supposedly better XboxOne yet. Money aside, it just seems that moving up from one console to the next, newest console is a hassle and requires more time and money than its worth to purchase all-new game versions and then play them up to wherever you left off on you old console. I put days into the PS3 version of Skyrim before having to switch over to Xbox360, and when I did I lost all my game data and hard-won dragon souls. And even going from 360 to One, I would not be able to carry over my game data from one console to the other without extreme difficulty, if at all.

Now, I know this is getting rarer and rarer for a lot of the newer, "hip" gamers out there, but I still have the original Classic Xbox my family purchased back in 2004, just under 2 years from its original release in November of 2001. 

(Interesting Fact: Few know that the "Xbox" title is actually an abbreviation. The consoles full name is actually the "DirectXbox")
In 2005 what is now come to be known as the "Original" or "Classic" Xbox gave way to the next step in its evolution, the Xbox360. A massive improvement over the Classic, and even with all the initial glitches and the fact manufacturing of the console shut down in 2016, the Xbox360 is still the best-selling and most loved Xbox console to date. 

Now, I have both consoles, and a plethora of games for both. And while the 360 games are all fine and good, sometimes you just cant beat the feel of an original xbox game (can anyone say Time Splitters or most of the original Scooby Doo titles?). Reading through online chat rooms and such, I realized many other gamers out there have the same problematic question I do; "Which Classic Xbox games will play on my Xbox360?"

So, thanks to the official Microsoft website (linked below), here is a list of every single cross compatible Classic Xbox game. The list was finalized in November 2007 and with the discontinuation of both Classic and 360 console games, the list will never grow any bigger.
