List of Xbox System Link games
This is a list of original Xbox games that are compatible with the System Link feature, both released and unreleased. Platinum Hits releases may not system link with non-platinum hits releases due to some Platinum Hits releases having 'Title Updates' that will not link with older versions, and some games will not link with non-updated versions if they have 'Title Updates' applied, either through XBL or a softmod. For Xbox 360 games, see List of Xbox 360 System Link games. Some games allow more players if one Xbox acts as a Dedicated Server. A Dedicated Server means one of the Xbox's hosts the others and you can't play on the host Xbox.
