Five original Xbox games that would work on Xbox One

In 2001 Microsoft decided they wanted a slice of the videogame business and the Xbox was launched, changing the face of gaming forever. While relatively short lived, the original Xbox paved away for the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live. The rest is history. While many franchises that appeared on the original Xbox made the transition to 360 in later sequels, a few were left behind.

The original XBox had an x86_32 architecture (32-bit 733 MHz, custom Intel Pentium III) so I would expect it would be fairly easy for Microsoft to develop an emulator for the XB1, that is if Microsoft gave the go-ahead.

Let's take this time to confess...

I really liked Obi Wan on Xbox. One of my favorite Star Wars games, I must admit...lol

The first Xbox had a bunch of great Star Wars titles... the 'Knights of the Old Republic' games were brilliant, as was Pandemic's take on 'Battlefront' - not to mention 'Republic Commando' and 'Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy'.

One could argue it was the golden-age for Star Wars games - Last-gen's best Star Wars titles were Lego-based and DICE'S current-gen 'Battlefront' was not the game I was looking for... That said, Bioware are working on a new Star Wars project, and Visceral's game with Amy Hennig has potential.

My old Xbox is long-gone, but I still enjoy going back and replaying the KOTORs (via 360BC) - especially since they appear to have 'survived' the extended-universe's reboot (with references popping-up in 'Rebels' episodes, as well as 'The Force Awakens')... the MMO isn't bad, but they're still my ultimate Star Wars games.

Still have my PS2 copy, and a multi-tap with my PS2 for 4 player split-screen.

"Unfortunately, there's no info on how these codes might work on the PC version of the game, although it wouldn't be surprising for someone to figure it out in the near future." I wonder if the same codes would work if you plugged a controller to the PC.
