Crimson Skies Original Disc Failure to be seen in Xbox one

First, I own the original Crimson Skies original xbox disc, my original xbox finally had laser failure and I tossed it but kept my games. So I decided to try the backwards compatibility for it, inserted disk and it acts as if there is no disk. No scratches,
no defects, just nothing. Am I missing something?

HD remakes

Crimson Skies was amazing! I still have the original Xbox game.

 

If Microsoft brought back titles...

Zen Like Calm:

I think you mis-read. "Crimson Skies" was an airplane shooter (dog-fight) kind of game. Not unlike the current arcade game with Snoopy. The title you've referenced, Crimson Alliance, appears to be a dungeon crawler.

You can get the original XBox Crimson Skies from the marketplace, though.

A lot of the original BC games are having issues because of the dashboard update. It needs a patch.

 

So how long is the estimate to get it working, they just announced it working a few days ago - one would assume that they should have tested this a bit before tossing it to the public.

 

Hey there Maclver6969,

Are you seeing an issue with any disc you insert into the console? What sort of troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

Insertion of the Crimson Skies disk shows nothing at all, but every other game I own is shown, as well as DVDs. I did a full reboot of console, then a HARD reboot. Same issues. Xbox One S unit. Disk has light scuffs but no scratches. It is the only original
xbox game I own that is BC, so I cant test others from the Duke era, but my other xbox 360 games are shown and work fine as well as the 15 xbox one titles I own on disk. Tried to clean disk with light buff and cleaner still no life at all.

 

PLEASE make On-Line Multiplayer available!!!!

 

I cant say I am real happy with this process so far.

 

Even if you get the game disc to play, you might not be able to complete
'The Lost City' mission and finish the game. Don't have the original disc anymore so
I downloaded it. Everything goes well until the "Lost City" mission. The player never gets a 'Checkpoint' done
message and cannot continue. I tried with another player profile -
fought my way through the dogfights and trials all
over again only to run up against the same bug. That's it for me, won't attempt to play any more
of the original games.
