Stuck on a Desert Island with one console and three games. - The Bear and Badger

Dinostar77

So you awake to find yourself stuck on a desert island. But there is a console (you pick which one) available to you and three games for that console available to you.

Now heres the kicker, the only electricity you have is off a solar panel and that only allows you to play the console for 1 hour a day. Thats all.

Heres the second kicker, there are no save states of any kind on the console or games. Everyday whichever of the three games you've selected you have to play from the start, again and again.

So choose your console and 3 games wisely......

Dreamcast.

Powerstone

Wouldn’t I be attempting to survive on this island and ideally plotting my escape back to civilisation?

Is this the time for gaming?

hylian_elf

Do we have pen and paper?

Kow

Switch with Slay the Spire, Dead Cells and something else. Seeing as I can't save.

And a prostitute.

LarryDavid

Go on then

SNES

Mariokart
Contra III
Super Tennis

EDIT: or a PSP with Ridge Racer 2, Lumines & Everybody’s Golf

Yossarian

Am I allowed cyanide capsules as my luxury?

Moot_Geeza

Saturn

Virtua Cop (with gun)
Nights
Sega Rally

The one hour thing is a killer.

I suppose I could unlock some decent Trials tracks in 15 mins though, leaving 45 for times.

I'll switch to 360 with Trials, Trials Evo and ~~Nights HD~~ Trials Fusion.

Frosty

360:
Spelunky
One of the Tiger Woods games (whichever is best)
PGR 3

Gremill

All of these are fuck all use without a telly.

LivDiv

THPS3
I reckon I could work up to completing it in an hour, speed runs are like 10 minutes.
Also just fun to fuck around in and I get some music.

Timesplitters 2
Loads unlocked from the off, Story, Missions etc. Also has MP bots.

Soul Calibur 2
I feel a fightman is a good idea, loads of scope to improve even against AI.

Console. Tough choice this one, SC2 I would want Spawn on Xbox but the Dualshock is the best THPS controller so I will go with PS2.

You don't want Civilization with no save states.

Why Spawn? Surely he was the worst guest??

Diluted Dante

Heihachi was the worst one. The fuck do you want a character whos weapon is knuckle dusters?

LivDiv

Heihachi was definitely the worst, played like crap in SC. Link was also shit, unbalanced range spam.

Vela

Dreamcast with

Dynamite Cop 2
Soul Calibur
Daytona

All can be finished in an hour.

Frosty

Spawn is still Spawn though...

retroking1981

Something with Tetris and Pac-Man.

afgavinstan

PS2

Dave Mirra BMX 2 (the first level is the best tbh)
THPS 4 (personal fave of the series)
Pro Evolution Soccer 5

Kara_Jane_Adams

Hi-Saturn Navi.

Shinrei Jusatsushi Tarōmaru
Sega Rally
Gokujou Parodius Da! Deluxe Pack

Frosty

Actually I'm changing PGR3 to Rock Band 3 in my one.

Guitar only but includes all the DLC.

nick_md

PS2

IIDX16
GradiusV
Outrun2 C2C

hylian_elf

Assume no internet to play online either? If so, really really really limited here. For me it's limited to just shmups and puzzlers like Lumines I guess. Most racers require some unlocking of parts and cars etc. SO...

XBox 360
Mushi Futari + Black Label
DDP DFK BL
Geo Wars RE 2

superflyninja

Good call on THPS. Not sure which Id go for. Possibly the one with the school level and the suburban neighbourhood.
I really liked Hexic HD on 360. Also Tetris.
Dang dont think I can get all 3 on one console.
PC maybe..

A prostitute without the money to pay her? Torture.

Switch -

- Puyo Puyo Tetris
- Mario Kart 8
- Super Mario Maker 2

My immediate no-take-backs answer is a PlayStation with Bushido Blade. The mechanics of that game are so perfect, it’s endlessly replayable.

I think the second game would be Destruction Derby 2. I’ll need to check, but I’m pretty sure you can access all difficulty levels from the start, without a save game being present.

For the third, I’m thinking possibly Die Hard Trilogy. I’m not sure if you can get to the top of the Nakatomi Plaza in an hour but, tbh, I never even got close. The fact that you’ve got a driving game in there, though, I might reconsider my second choice, although I think the play styles are sufficiently different.

Good choice on the first 2 but the latter makes no sense, what are you paying the prostitute? Is money any use? Couldn't the prostitute find Coconuts just as well as you? A stranger who you find attractive and the attraction is recipricated would be much more exciting.

Howdy, Stranger!
