A group of programmers under the group name Insignia has enabled Microsoft’s original Xbox game console to play over 100 online games again in its own version of the Xbox Live service.
Microsoft launched the original Xbox console in 2001. A year later, the company launched its Xbox Live online service, giving gamers its own online gaming service. In April 2010, Microsoft shut down Xbox Live for the first Xbox. That left owners of that console without the ability to play the games that had online multiplayer features.
However, unknown to most folks, a group of mostly anonymous programmers has taken the liberty of launching and supporting an online service called Insignia. In short, it has restored the online network for the original Xbox and over 100 online games made for the console.
GameSpot has a new feature on Insignia and its team members, who are referred to by just their first names.
