Microsoft Xbox 360: retrocompatibilità giochi

da | Curiosità

Microsoft ha deciso di impegnarsi nella retrocompatibilità offrendo a tutti i possessori della sua console la possibilità di utilizzare anche i giochi della Xbox precedente. La possibilità di poter eseguire i giochi della prima Xbox venne accolta molto bene, sia dalla critica che dai consumatori.

L’unico vincolo, se così si può dire, era la necessità di disporre di un hard disk per la console: necessario per l’installazione dell’emulatore. A parte questo, non era richiesto altro. I giochi funzionavano semplicemente effettuando il caricamento da disco, senza alcun download di patch o altro. E, ultima ma non meno importante, tutto assolutamente gratis: non è mai stato necessario dover riacquistare i giochi per poterli giocare!

Nel corso del ciclo vita della Xbox 360, tra gloria e dissapori, gli sviluppatori Microsoft si sono impegnati per aggiungere la compatibilità a molti vecchi giochi. Non sono tutti, ma ne sono un bel po’.

Di seguito l’elenco completo dei giochi Xbox eseguibili, in retrocompatibilità, sulla Xbox 360.
