Xbox Backwards Compatibility list @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on November 12, 2005

News: The results are in, these are the Xbox games you'll be able to play on your shiny new 360.

We've known for a while that it wasn't going to be easy. First you heard the talk about not every game being supported. Then came word that you had to have a hard drive to download software profiles to make your old games work. Now, finally, Microsoft has revealed the first batch of Xbox titles that will backwards compatible with the Xbox 360.

So here's the deal. Right now, Microsoft has confirmed that 213 Xbox games will work on the 360. More will be added all the time to the master list at Xbox.com and you must own a hard drive to download the Emulation Profiles for each game you attempt to play.

So what's on this list. I think a better question is what's missing, and that list includes every Splinter Cell game, Doom 3, X-Men Legends 1 & 2, every Spider-Man game, Far Cry Instincts, MechAssault 1 & 2 and both Project Gotham games. But here's the full list of backward compatible games:
