I love that they added all these games. Microsoft is doing amazing things these past few years. I was esp happy to see KOF Neo Wave added. I'm a huge fan of the series. I'd love to see other SNK games added as well. I only wish Sony would get on board with backwards compatibility. Instead they want people to pay $10-15 to rebuy a digital version of a game they already own.
Orginal Xbox Back Compat and Fable 2

I was really excited to see the first batch of original Xbox games get added to backwards compatibility on Xbox One. I quickly gathered what I had and brought them over to Mark's place, where I have my XBO. I've got Crimson Skies, Ninja Gaiden Black, Psychonauts (can't wait to finish this one), Sid Meier's Pirates and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (can't wait to finish this one too). I desperately need to get a copy of Black again. I have it for PS2 still, but I traded all my original Xbox shooters a while back. I watched Mark play some Black and it looks better than ever. Also, that it is a Criterion game gives me hope that the Burnout series (1-3) will be next.
Some others on the list I might want to try and pick up again are: Bloodrayne 2 (there was a 2?), Dead to Rights (played it but it was good), Grabbed by Ghoulies (I remember a really bad review in Official Xbox Magazine titled Grabbed by THE Ghoulies - ha!), and Red Faction II (played it).
The ones I don't care about are: Fusion Frenzy, King of Fighters Neowave, and Prince of Persia Sands of Time (Good game but not my thing. Played it way back when.).
But, I couldn't pop in Crimson Skies because I was still finishing Fable II. I completed the Colosseum and got all but one achievement for it (one can't be gotten unless you can trade with someone for the chicken suit you got for playing a minigame on Fable2.com, which is now defunct). Mark joined me co-op for a few of those achievements.
Then I completed finding all the books on Knothole Island (easy), and finished all the Demon Doors (a ROYAL pain in my ass). The second to last door was a super pain. It resists your opening it over and over again, asking you to get clothes and hair styles, and then refusing to open anyway. Finally Mark looked some stuff up and told me to just mash the "a" button. I did and "walla" it opened. I really, really hated that thing. Well, it's done now.
Only 6 more getable achievements left. 3 on this current playthrough, 2 on a second playthrough, and the last 1 on a third playthrough. I'm going to try and speed run the game for those last 3. I'm also going to try and role-play a super good character and then something else, I'm not sure yet. Then finally it will be done, and I can move on. Phew. This game has risen to number 4 on my most played games of the year list. I can't believe it.
