The original xbox... LAN match
Discussion
I still have mine from circa 2005, a crystal model, 2 crystal pads and a few games to boot. I'm sourcing another one along with a few more pads and having a LAN match with them, with mates.
We all had one when they first came out but I cannot decide on what games to do.
Halo, Halo 2 and Midtown madness 3 are currently on the cards (we've all played these) but can anyone remember? or recommend a good multiplayer game for it? So games that can do split screen + network play.
So 2 TV's, 2 xbox originals, lets say a minimum of 4 pads hopefully 6 if I can.

Thanks guys, how could I forget project gotham racing!
Also thanks for the mention on the switch idea, I've already sorted that - I have an 8 port switch and the consoles with be on static IP's
Halo does seem to be the main game that peaks our interest so I think most of the night will be playing that along with drinking beer, eating junk food and reminiscing on times when we had no responsibilities!

Prepped and ready to LAN. I have owned that crystal Xbox, with pads, since new and its hard-modded. My missus kindly picked up the two black pads from cash converters today at £5 each and I snagged the black Xbox along with a black and green pad, with games for £15.
Bargain, a nights entertainment for sub £30, mates just have to bring the beer and order the pizza!
Halo 1, 2, Midtown madness 3, Unreal Tournament, PGR2. 2 TV's, 2 xboxes, 6 pads, what can possibly go wrong!
So my component leads have arrived today. Massive improvement over composite. The dash is now in glorious 720p. Games are clearer but that means the jaggies show up more.
Halo 1 is much better with the NTSC copy. So first 45mins of the lan match is halo 1 rally mode. (People on warthogs getting points on map)
Halo 2 for the next hour with custom game modes.
Unreal championship for the following hour.
All this subject to change if we get another Xbox on the go, which would allow 2 people per Xbox times 3. So then we got project Gotham 2, mech warrior and god knows what else! 2 player Split screen + system link has a lot more games available to us.
