Stuck on a desert island, with a CD player, a TV with no sound and a video game system..... - The Bear and Badger

Right, your stuck on a desert island, by chance you happen to find a TV, video game system (non descript) with a controller and power for the said items (don't ask). Alas the system can only ever play three games, also there is no working audio for the TV. You hunt around and find a CD player and headphones. The CD player which like the video game system can only ever play three music CD's (they have to be commercially released CD's, no homemade super mix CD's). What the games do you pick and what music accompanies the said games to enhance the gaming experience to makeup for lack of in game audio ?

Examples (I've made up) :

1. Mario Sunshine and Bob Marley's Exodus album
2. Nioh and the soundtrack to The Last Samurai
3. Halo CE and Beethoven Classical Symphonies volume 1 album.

Mushi Futari with the OST in the CD player would be one of my choices.

I do recall playing rolling thunder and speedball on my megadrive, with Live's Throwing Copper in the background, the fact that lightning crashes has rolling thunder in the lyrics always tickled me

How good are the headphones?

I get fuckfaced off burning plastic fumes and when that doesn't cut it, throttle myself with a leftover cord.

I'm now mentally scarred by images of Bonnie Tyler fucked on plastic fumes and semi-hung by a kettle cord whilst maybe singing the Oldfield's Islands for good measure.

Not if you Battle Royale a Mini NES.

This all seems a bit complicated. Think I'll just sit on the beach and watch the sun set.

While playing Dying Light to Phil Collins?

Can I have some records?

Raiziel

You can have some Phil Collins. There's plenty to go around.

Fastest Kow on the island over 100m. Possibly.

Unless Akabusi's there.

Kow

Fastest to bed.

I'd like to be accompanied by Quornblower. He'd know what to do.

So right and yet so wrong.

Do I have to go through all the convoluted island nonsense, or can I just talk about when I used to play SSX while listening to the Marshal Mathers LP?

Nice thread Dino. I'll think on this before posting a list!

Have never played a game with selected music playing.

I once played Space Invaders in a youth Club with Madness' Baggy Trousers playing on the sound system and for some odd reason that has stuck with me. Can't say it added to the experience though.
