I'm making this thread so I can discuss the Original Xbox. With a criminally underrated library (inb4 "what did it have besides Halo"), and an excellent modding scene, the Microsoft Xbox is my favorite console of all time. Here we can discuss the games, history, emulation, online play, modding, homebrew, and hardware preservation.

I'll start by talking about a mostly forgotten game, Quantum Redshift. This game is like F-Zero combined with Mario Cart. You race around very complicated obstacle courses of tracks at mind blowing speeds, all while picking up weapons and shields to combat anyone who tries to pass you. The physics in this game are incredibly smooth even by today's standards. The motion blur effect was far ahead of its time for 2002. The difficulty setting mostly just adjusted the speed, and at the highest difficulty (Redshift), these races were short and brutal. This game even supports Xbox's custom soundtrack feature, allowing you to rip CDs and listen to them in game. The only real problem I have with this game is that when you try to play split screen, you can't have any AI, leading to boring races with only 2-4 contestants.
