So I Bought a Modded Xbox

On 10/13/2017 at 04:45 PM by NintendoFanJon

Hey it's me again! So after I bought my NES Classic I was interested in more. That's when I saw it on Ebay. A modded original Xbox with emulators and Coinops 8. I wasn't sure what Coinops 8 was, but everything else intrigued me. NES, SNES, MSX, Genesis, TurboGrafx, Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision, Jaguar, Neo Geo, GBA, N64, Playstation, etc. The description... Overall 11,000 games and to make it even better there are Xbox games saved on the hard drive. And they aren't terrible games either. Theres Beyond Good & Evil ,Doom 3, Fable, Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2, Fatal Frame, and more! I got this all for only 125 dollars. Needless to say it's crazy. And even crazier is playing them on an Xbox! I need some sort of counseling! Suffice it to say I'll be quite busy. But seriously... Super Mario Odyssey is coming in just a couple weeks! How am I going to beat all these games!? What should I even play first!? Who has that kind of time!? I've got no vacation days left! Why am I such a crazed madman!? Why am I such a nerd!? WHY!!!!!!!!???

Ha ha, 11,000 games is a little intense. If you beat all those, I'll give you a dollar!

Would that even be possible? Even playing and beating one game a day would take me 30 years lol. Plus you can't really beat some games. Pac-Man puts you in a unwinnable screen. I appreciate the offer! Challenge accepted! Now I'll be sure to hit you back when I'm 60. That dollar is mine my friend! *Warning* Jon will most likely play Super Mario Odyssey and forget about this challenge lol

and so it came to pass that Super Mario Odyssey did lay to waste the 11,000. and there was much rejoicing in the town. Mario! Mario! Mario!

Yeah. In fact, I'm hoping to finsh up Chronicles of the Radia War since I'm almost at the end of that but you're right once Odyssey comes out thats where my time will go. 11,000 games can wait.

For a second I thought you said there were Odyssey console games on that Xbox. Now that's going too far. But, if your mad enough for 11K games, why not 11,020. Think about it, one day there'll be a machine with ever game ever made on it for $20. Gonna buy it?

I personally need a kind of governer (like in trucking) to keep my game collecting at bay. Right now this governer is lack of cash. Even with that though, I'm starting to get overwelmed.

I'm not even sure how Odyssey games would work given you need map overlays, etc. But there are others like the ZX Spectrum and the Virtual Boy even which is insane. As for a console with every game? That's a bit much. I don't think I'd buy it.Even if it did manage to come out, but who knows?

As for game collecting I'm stopping too. I was even looking back at getting some Gamecube games again, but I decided against that for the good of my wallet.

There were some good ones for ZX Spectrum. I played a few on the Rare Replay collection. I just think of how memory has expanded so much. Games before the turn of the century are such small files. You could probably put them all on a large hard drive right now. I've seen some multi-game systems at one of my local arcades and they have thousands of games on some of them.

I was at a convention this weekend and saw a lot of games I would normally have looked at closely. I dont' have the cash right now and even if I did, I might think twice. Wait. . . naw, I'd probably have bought a bunch of them.
