Did you know that the original #Xbox had its own memory cards? While the console itself came with its own built-in 8GB hard drive, 8MB memory cards were also sold. How many games would 8MB hold? I suppose it varies, but it definitely won't hold much! #ALGOSwapMeets #ALGO8

Dead or Alive 3 was also a day one launch title for the #Xbox - the game's attract mode sequence certainly wowed gamers with fast & visceral action, crazy camera angles, multi-tier environments, & even some rockin' Aerosmith music to boot! #ALGOSwapMeets #ALGO8

Halo: Combat Evolved was a day one launch title for the #Xbox on November 15, 2001. It quickly became a tent pole release for Microsoft's new console, and subsequently launched one of gaming's largest franchises. Those couch co-op sessions were legendary! #ALGOSwapMeets #ALGO8

During the 2001 Tokyo Game Show, fast food trays were adorned with this image of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates holding a cheeseburger & #Xbox controller in his hands. The Japanese writing roughly translates to "We have met at an unusual place". Ok, then! #ALGOSwapMeets #ALGO8

There's just something to be said about game advertisements back then; here's a magazine flyer hyping the impending launch of the original #Xbox in 2001. In a way, gaming was truly never the same after! #ALGOSwapMeets #ALGO8

The Xbox was a big boy, weighing in at a rather hefty 8.5lbs, easily crushing the competition in stature. By comparison, the PS2 weighed in at 4.85lbs, whereas the GameCube was only 3.1lbs. The future of gaming certainly held its weight! #ALGOSwapMeets #ALGO8 #Xbox

With #Xbox, you had exclusives like Halo, Project Gotham Racing and...Sneakers. Released exclusively in Toys R Us stores, the game has you play as a group of mice that, well, sneaks around. Move over, Crash Bandicoot - a true console mascot is here! #ALGOSwapMeets #ALGO8

Not all #Xbox drives are created equal; in fact, there are 4 different drives from Thomson, Philips, Samsung & Hitachi. Thomson drives are notorious for failing, prompting users with a "Dirty disc" error where it can no longer read discs - yikes! #ALGOSwapMeets #ALGO8
