yes, some do, they just added a bunch of new ones in November.
only other thing is that you need the harddrive as well to store the emulators that run each original xbox game, these emulators are not compatible with the memory card

Yes
I have done it.
I know others that have done it.
Xbox says it is possible.
You can even download some original xbox games from xbox live marketplace to the 360.
There is a list of the compatible games on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360
If you dont believe wikipedia here is another link:
http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm
They are making more games compatible so if yours isn't on the list - keep waiting and it will be.
If you have any issues, follow this link:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitysupportissues.htm
It should help.
Still don't believe me? Google 'xbox 360 backwards compatibility' you get over 80,000 results.
There is no additional cost. Like all Xbox 360 system software, backwards compatibility is updated from time to time. These updates are released through Xbox LIVE® and can also be obtained in other ways described here. You must install the latest update to be able to play every game on the compatibility list, and to play original Xbox games on Xbox LIVE.
