I spoke to Randy Pitchford himself and asked him about the games going on to the Backwards Compatibility list, he said to me "Back-compat is something MSFT did in software and didn't do it for games that were too hard for them to do it." Basically, they will not be added because it is too hard for Microsoft to emulate them on to the 360.

that sucks man.

 

I bought a vista computer, and BIA games dont work in vista either.

 

I never got to finish Earned in blood on xbox, since my system died, so it looks like i'll probably never get to finish it off.

I don't see why BiA is different from other games that have been patched.

PC and Console software are 2 different codings, one is harder than the other to emulate sometimes.

But kinda sad to hear that it won't be on the BC list.

This is dreadful. I bought this on EBay hoping it would work on my 360 and it doesn't. Call of Duty BRO and Finest hour both freeze at a certain point in each game, Wolfenstein doesn't work properly at all (framerate). B/C is abysmal on the 360. When I had a PS2, PS1 games all worked flawlessly.
