April and May are pretty full 😵 work for me, i hope June that i will have more free time. Some reviews in Retrogametalk.com are exactly the reason why i joined this forum, people expressing their feelings and memories about games that are more than just games. I really love the simple but rich type of writing and sorry for not making more threads about games/anime/movies i have so many to share with you but work is suffocating me these months, check out my oldest threads.

In a random group with OG Xbox posts i saw this game and a flashback popped 💥 up right now in my mind, also i realized that this game is the first XBOX Only Title i have played in my gaming life.

Blinx: The Time Sweeper a 2002 platform game by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox that advertised as "The World's First 4-D Action Game".


It was fun i played it and almost finished it, that didn't happen because i was consumed by HALO, Project Gotham Racing and other titles at the time. What was the first ''XBOX Only'' game you played in the OG XBOX Console?

Thanks for reading, next month i promise some quality Threads like my old ones. Until my next thread see you.
 
I got the xbox when first Christmas it was out and it was a pack deal where I got Jet set radio and sega gt 2002 + an xbox remote. So does 2 would be the first games I ever played when I first owned the xbox.
 
Halo on a friends Xbox. I didn't care for it. I think the first game I inserted into my Xbox when I got one was Project Gotham Racing. I liked other games (Morrowind, KOTOR, etc) than what was being pushed.
 
I must correct myself. First game I played in the console itself was Forza. The first game I played for real waas Ninja Gaiden Black on Xemu. I never owned an Xbox but my brother did. I tried out Forza briefly on his system and wanted to get an Xbox but never did.
 
I got my Original XBox BECAUSE OF BLINX. I saw the game for $15, snagged it, and owned it for nearly a month before getting the console it ran on. In that first week of ownership, I kept my console a secret from my parents, sneaking out in the evenings to pick up cheap classics like Halo, Shenmue 2, Jet Set Radio Future + SEGA GT 2002, and Tony Hawk’s Underground. In those early days, I played a lot of Blinx, Jet Set, and had an absolutely magical time scrolling the avalanche of demos and other such bonuses that had come with the games I picked up.

If you own an original XBox, be sure to check out some of its earlier titles, as they tend to come with quite a bit of bang for your buck.
 
I was gonna say Dead or Alive 3, but then I looked at my box and, to my surprise, the "Only on Xbox" symbol isn't there! I was certain it was developed specifically for the console though? Maybe they just didn't have that symbol on the launch titles?
 
I never had an OG Xbox, but I borrowed my friend's Xbox so that I could play Fable.
 
When I got the original Xbox, 360 was already out, but it was too expensive.

The main 3 games that made me decide to get one (apart from the cheap price) were:

Panzer Dragon Orta -> My favourite Panzer Dragon until now :)
Dino Crisis 3 -> A true shame to the saga :(
CAT: Cyber Attack Team -> A tactical RPG where you have to defend CPU's lol
 
It has been ported since but House of the Dead 3!
My old man loved that game to bits, he even got the madcatz lightgun for it.
Still one of my favorite lightgun games ever.
 
my friend had a xbox and randomly bought games from time to time. The first time I played it with him he brought out a game called phantom dust and god damn did we spend hours upon hours playing it.
 
It was actually Halo 1, I played the campaign in cooperative with my brothers. it was like no game i had played prior since we were n64 kids
I sucked at it btw
