Modern Vintage Gamer investigates whether the classic game Morrowind secretly rebooted the original Xbox console during loading screens to free up memory.
The Elders Scroll III Morrowind is an open world action role playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios in 2002 for the Original Xbox. In a recent podcast Todd Howard claimed - "In Morrowind, If you're running low on memory you can reboot the Original Xbox and the user cant tell". Of course I had to investigate these claims and see if its indeed true. In this episode we take a closer look at The Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind and understand how it came with unique memory management. ► Consider supporting me - patreon.com/ModernVintageGamer ► Source - youtube.com/watch?v=WI2IPeocbAA&t=518s ► Music Credit : The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind/Composer - Jeremy Soule Social Media Links : ► Facebook : facebook.com/ModernVintageGamer ► Twitter : twitter.com/ModernVintageG ► IG: instagram.com/ModernVintageGamer ► BandCamp : modernvintagegamer.bandcamp.com/ ► The Real MVP Podcast : player.fm/series/the-real-mvp #Morrowind #OGXbox #Reboot
