Mods: Paging about, I didn't find anything quite similar to this thread in this forum. If it's not appropriate, just lock it and I'll see about putting it somewhere appropriate.
Here's the scenario; you can call it a desert island scenario, or solitary confinement, or you're the sole survivor of a nuclear holocaust, whatever you prefer, but the root of it is this:
You get one video/computer game. Just one for the rest of your life. What game do you choose?
The rules; you get any one game, with any downloadable content or expansions available today. No other games, no internet connection. You have the necessary hardware to play the game, so any console, handheld, computer build or the like, and any required peripherals for said game are provided. Mods are, for the purposes of this exercise, not available (you could practically get unlimited playability from the original Half-Life, using 'em), but standalone expansions are okay.
MMOs, naturally, are right out.
So, pick your poison. It could be the game you view as the best, or the one with the most open-endedness, or even some guilty pleasure that you hide from the world under the auspices of seeming sophisticated.
Whatever the case. What's your game?

POLL THREAD.
Also, Tetris.
Didn't think it was much more poll-y than the media player thread. >.>
Mods are out, but I'd agree on the Civ 4 vote.
he was looking for an alternative media player to use, thats why his is kosher.
but i'd totally bring disgaea.
nothing quite like grinding that divine maijin to lv 1 billion.
Seriously, every month or so I go back into a huge Civ4 binge and I could easily play that game for the rest of my life.
There are no improvements that could be made on that game.
Switch - SW-3699-5063-5018
That is, of course, assuming I'm actually on a desert island or there has been a nuclear holocaust. If there are still other people around to interact with, I'd go with Civ 4 as well.
But really I could live with just SMW proper, none of that new Luigi sprite BS, none of the GBA version crap.
Maybe FF6 but I think I'd rather have SMW.
The joy it still brings me is unmeasurable.
Animal Crossing with all the NES games unlocked?
RPG Maker was released for the Playstations. I could make my own games.
And if that counts, why not include other programming IDEs? I'm sure some have fit into more of a game category.
Basically anything that lets me wish for more wishes and cheat the restrictions of this "what if" scenario.
Unmatched time-eating plus a random map generator.
I'd barely notice I had no other games.
It's a tough call.
I'm hesitating between Guild Wars, Civ4 and AoE2.
I'd need something that can't be actually finished (ok, so you could 100% GW I guess, but it'd take decades).
Yeah, it kinda is. It's pretty much entirely run on instances, though.
Ok then, Civ4 I guess. That, or Super Mario All-Stars (I was gonna say SMB3, the best videogame ever made, but then SMAS has it plus other games).

Perfect place to test my elaborate shelter, coconut SNES and eventual raft.
can this hold off on this doomsday event so that I may bring SPORE?
