Original Xbox Console - Features
A much-awaited console, the Xbox, was developed by Microsoft. In addition, it had many features that placed it above its competitors, remaining a beloved system for years to come!
Powerful Processor
The Xbox was graphically powerful compared to its rivals. It has a 733 MHz Intel Pentium III processor, a processor that could be found on a standard PC, and a built-in hard disk, a first in the console market.
Unique Storage Method
Besides the 8 /10 GB internal hard drive capacity, the console has an 8 MB removable solid-state memory card. It can be plugged into the controllers, onto which game saves can be copied from the hard drive in the Xbox dashboard's memory manager or saved during a game.
Pc-like Characteristics
Not only is the processor of the Xbox similar to one on a standard PC, but it also has a custom operating system that is based on a heavily modified version of Windows 2000. Furthermore, it could render DVD/CD at a high quality and also connect to the internet for online gaming through Xbox Live.
Original Xbox Console - Games
There are over 1000 games you can play on the original Xbox Console, many of which later became a staple in the gaming community and have come to be loved by many.

Fable
Fable takes place in the fictional nation of Albion. Players assume the role of an orphaned boy who realizes his dream of becoming a Hero. The choices players make in the game affect the perception and reaction to their Hero by the characters of Albion and change the Hero's appearance to mirror what Good or Evil deeds the Hero has performed.
