It depends on the game. Not all work. If you want an original Xbox game for the Xbox 360, I would suggest The Simpsons road rage. I would also ask or check if there is an Xbox 360 version of the game.
Only a select few or original Xbox games are playable on Xbox Live with and Xbox 360. The popular original Xbox games (i.e. Halo 2) are playable. The Xbox must be updated first before it plays any original Xbox game. This will happen when the disc is inserted.
When it says "the disc is inserted", it means that you get a disc that has what is called a backward-compatibility update, which is the update that allows you to play said Original Xbox Games. To get this update you must download it via disc (OXM Magazine game disc O burned disc from the official Xbox website) or the Xbox Live Marketplace, but I'm not sure they have it on the marketplace.

A list of backward compatible games: http://www.xbox.com/enUS/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm
When inserting an Xbox game to the Xbox 360 console, it will ask to download an update for the game so it can be playable. Games not available in the list are not compatible. You must have Xbox LIVE to download the update. After all that, you can play Xbox LIVE. You can use your current Xbox LIVE Gamertag from your Xbox 360 or you can recover your gamertag from your original Xbox to your Xbox 360. It would then be converted to the newly update Xbox LIVE and possibly get a free 1 Month Gold Subscription. It's what I did :) some games may be played but not any of the halos if they are an original xbox game
Answer:While the following was true (I don't have the heart to delete this guy's answer), the Xbox 360 no longer supports original Xbox games on Xbox LIVE.
idk about all games but from experience all the games i have played have worked
No, but some original Xbox games work for Xbox 360.
No they do not, but you can play certain Xbox original games on Xbox 360
Some of them do.

You don't only some original xboxs games work on xbox 360, usually the last ones out for the original xbox.
No. they will not work. Some xbox games will work on Xbox 360 but not vice versa.
You don't all you have to do is get a xbox 360 a (white) one the take your original xbox games and play them on your xbox 360 be sure 2 get a xbox 360 elite or it probably wont work.
Of course the original Xbox 360 games are no different from the new Xbox 30 slim games.
Only normal Xbox games can be played on the original Xbox, original Xbox games can work on the Xbox 360 thought...
Yes, it will work. I have an xbox 360 and ! always play normal xbox games on it.
No, you cannot, but if you have an XBOX 360, or an XBOX 360 elite, you can play XBOX games, with an XBOX 360 Arcade, you need an XBOX 360 hard drive to play XBOX games.No you can not play Xbox 360 games on the original Xbox. Some original Xbox games can be played on the Xbox360 but it just depends if they are backwards compatible or not.Very few games for original xbox will work on 360. A total of 200 are currently compatible.
