If you were stuck in a tropical paradise with food, water, shelter, the Internet, and your health in tact, but for that reward you only get to play 5 video games for the rest of your life, what 5 games, would you bring with you, and why?


Ok. First option has to be something with infinite replay value, like a version of chess or a Tetris type game. Shogi, mancala, backgammon, Go, Othello, solitaire...something along those lines.

Next has to be a painfully long rpg or other type game to Max out. FFV, Disgaea, SMT:N, Vagrant Story, GTA:SA... something along those lines.

Third up, literally any multiplayer type game. Something with a way to communicate with the outside world for a chance of rescue. I'm not expecting much from randos, but I'm hoping that my friendlist has a more vested interest in my rescue.

4th, Rough call between a tried and true metrovania like super Metroid or SOTN for shiggles.

5th let's go with irony. A survival game or a farming sim. Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, something in that vein just to play what I'm already living, lol.

But in all seriousness if I'm stranded on a deserted island most of my energy is going to be spent conserving calories, maintaining hydration/shelter/fire and hunting and gathering. The extent of my gaming would probably boil down to a good old round of "choke the chicken" if time allows.

From a purely pragmatic standpoint I might have to consider making all 5 choices NES titles just to fashion spear points from the cases and circuit boards, or possibly throwing one silver disc-based game into that mix just to have a signal mirror.

If I'm straight up Link's Awakening'd on a deserted island, the Wind Fish is the least of my concerns.

The scenario largely falls under the same dilemma as the infamous "Time Enough At Last" Twilight Zone episode.
