Here is the address to the list of games that are backwards compatible (just copy and paste it into your address bar at the top of your browser and hit "enter"): http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm You must have a hard drive on your Xbox 360 so that you can download the backwards compatibility updates either through connecting to Xbox live, or by burning the updates on a CD and putting them in the CD drive to be burned to your hard drive. Instructions on downloading the backwards compatibility updates on your 360 are here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardscompatibility.htm
Yes, provided it has the necessary backwards compatibility (like the original 60GB PS3).
No, the DS cannot play GBC games even if you cut the cartridge to fit. The DS does not contain a full GBA, it only plays GBA games. It does not have a true GBA's backwards compatibility.
When deciding between a Nintendo Wii and an Xbox 360, you should compare the hardware, the controllers, the online play, and the price. You should also consider the possibility of backwards compatibility, which means it will play older game versions.
Most original Xbox games can be played on the Xbox 360 console. Shenmue 2 is one of them games which will work, I have even played it myself. I am not sure what you mean by backwards compatibility. If you mean by the region disks, a PAL game wont play on a other region xbox.
It is only available on x-box, and the x-box 360 has backwards compatibility, so buy it in a game store near you, or just buy it on the internet.
Yes although only older Wii's will actually let you play the games.
Windows 8 does have the ability to launch applications in compatibility modes which support older Windows versions.
Yes, you can play old CD-ROM games on Windows 7, but compatibility may vary depending on the game's requirements. Many older games may not run smoothly due to differences in hardware and software architecture. You can try running the games in compatibility mode by right-clicking the game executable and selecting "Properties," then the "Compatibility" tab. Additionally, using third-party emulators or virtual machines can help run older games that aren't natively supported.
It is available for several platforms including Windows, Xbox and GameCube. Older games may not play properly on newer gaming consoles. Check compatibility before purchasing older games.
Tug of war it the game that you try to always move backwards in but its not that easy when you try
Backward compatibility means that the new product will support an older product. A PS3 is said to be Backward Compatible when it will play PS2 games. The Wii U says it will be able to use the Wii accessories and games and that would make it backward compatible
