    So, what's it to be? You have your choice of console or gaming rig, whatever specs needed if it's pc. It will have taken you months to build the damn thing out of coconuts, but now you can play that one game you happened to have in your carry on luggage when the plane crashed.

    What is it?

    Pah. She's already there! I never said you were alone on the desert island. She's there and you still need something to do while she's making coconut steak or whatever for dinner. Now pick a game! :pac:

    Probably Disgaea. Item world = thousands of hours of gameplay. May not be my favourite game, but probably the one I could spend endless hours playing.

    Fallout 3 or else Fifa 10

    Halo (First One)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,145 ✭✭✭Lands Leaving


    Super Mario World. Could spend months trying to find everything in that, and then still want to do it all over again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    Probably Civilisation 4 or maybe 2 depending on the amount of coconut RAM.

    Plus they don't make good eating when the coconuts run out. :(

    Why do people always do this in these threads :confused:... great you like the wimmins, how manly of you... now back to the topic at hand.

    I'd probably pick something simple... and highscore based also. Mario Kart is a good one. Even now I'll still try and beat my ghost in the time trials on my GBA:SP when on long plane journeys.

    Tetris is another, I still have the old original Gameboy cartridge that I play on my GBA now... that game never gets old.

    If I could play multiplayer online etc then Street Fighter 4.

    I'm pretty sure if you could play multiplayer online, the first message anyone would send would be something like "wtf... another scrub Ken, lol... oh btw, stuck on a desert island, HELP!!!" :D

    Yep, would have to be Civilization 4 for me too. I cant think of another game i enjoy that has 1/10th the replayability
    that the civ series has.

    well since this is 'bringing' a game to a desert island, thus a voluntary thing, :p then there might be some satellite internet set up or some ****e, so a big hefty mmo would seem like a good choice since they can go on for years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,528 ✭✭✭OK-Cancel-Apply


    Probably Peggle Deluxe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    As much as I hate it for taking over my life, I'd have to say WoW.

    Not sure if I could choose a singleplayer game... Maybe something like Peggle, or Geometry Wars 2


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10,259 ✭✭✭✭Melion


    Football Manager, no doubt about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,043 ✭✭✭Leprachaun


    Mass Effect 2.

    Pokemon Glod/Silver is the only choice

    Or Shin Mega Ten: Nocturne mebbe.

    Question: Which game teaches me how to survive on a desert island?


  • Registered Users Posts: 428 ✭✭Joneser


    Would prob be WoW for me, the game is practically never ending


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,840 ✭✭✭Greyfox


    For the greatest story ever, Final Fantasy 7


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,997 ✭✭✭Grimebox


    After this game has consumed the last week of my life... i think i have to go for XCOM: Enemy Unknown


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,315 ✭✭✭Jazzy


    www.quakelive.com

    or Heroes of Newerth (both if i hd a net connection)

    failing that, it'd have to be civilisation 2 or 4. ooohhh or maybe birth of the federation


  • Registered Users Posts: 460 ✭✭Gerty


    Rock Band.....hollowed out, inside-waterproof matches, iodine tablets, beet seeds, protein bars, NASA blanket and, in case I get bored, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. No, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
