Yeah, I thought it was weird too.

I had loaded 5000 points onto my account and was about to get Fable, even though I have the original disc. Once I realized I wouldn't get achievements for it, I said, "screw this".

I don't get why they don't have achievements - preserving the integrity of the game, my butt.

they're not 360 games, just regular xbox, therefore they would have no achievments.

Microsoft said when Originals were announced that is just physically impossible to put achievements onto an original game. They weren't programmed for it and putting the effort to create the emulation software and add achievements is too much to expect from Microsoft be glad you can play the game on the 360 especially w/o a disk.
