hmm

I'm not really sure about that. I get bored of all games eventually

Even some of my favourite games of all time like Baldur's Gate 2 and Fallout 2 have limited replay value.

I'm even bored of Civ2.

Although Diablo2 isn't one of my favourite games I still play it. It's the same action, yet for some reason I reinstalled the game.

I'd have to have all 4 games. Without all four games I'd kill myself

Hmm, a tricky question. My most played game is probably civ2, but I dislike it these days. Most of my favourite games are too short to consider taking... so I wouldn't take any game at all. Why waste your time with something you're going to end up hating?

Probably civ3 though, followed by cm4 (looooong, loooong games are needed in such a situation )

One game?
I'd choose to have Visual Basic with me instead, so I can make my own games...

I need changes, if I only have one game, I'll end up hating that game within a few days
That's the main reason, why I never become very good at a game, I simply don't play the same game enough...

I included Diablo2 on the basis I could play with a high speed satellite connection over battle.net with other people

I would consider Neverwinter Nights multiplayer as well. I've had some good role playing sessions on there. I could roleplay I'm not on a deserted island for a few hours.

As for MP or SP question, Assume you have no internet, but you have modest number of LAN capability in this island with just one game


I can play Marvel VS capcom all day long and never get bored. Game is nearing 3 years old and experts are still finding new combos, move properties etc... same goes with Soul calibur II. If I had a person with me I could play either of those games until the end of the universe, but even without an opponent, I could probably play practice mode all by myself trying to find out combos, strategies and train reflexes, etc for about 700yrs.

My 3rd choice would be Quake I, even though it isnt the most balanced FPS skill game out there. That game had such a division between elitists and casual gamers (because casual player used keyboards and elite players used mouse look) and the way some people mastered quake was just inspiring. If I can play agst a really good opponent, Quake would be just as good.

Quake with TF mod would be better but only if it is assumed that theres enough ppl in the island to make team game viable.

no programming, no changing source code, no modding!

If you choose a mod you must only play that mod. Playing original and mod would count as 2 game. (so HL and CS is 2 different game).

You can still play creatively within the game like I do. For example, I have played FF6 over and over with bizzare rules and settings for myself. and Crowbar war in HL is a popular way to play HL in a creative way that forces you to play the game differently.

So the rule here is only being creative within the given game!

1. Civ3, good replay value

2. Shining Force 2, cause it's my favourite game

3. Rise of Nations, just 'cause it's a good game, and I just bought it.

If I was stuck with the computer I have now....Morrowind.

If I was stuck with the computer I'm going to get....Morrowind.

If I was stuck with an older computer...Civ2.

This question is a toughie.

I, too, shall have to go with EU2 even though I haven't played it in months. Warlords III is too flawed, Warlords Battlecry II can get repetitive, etc.

	22-07-2003 06:16									#19
	Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

If I were stuck on an island with nothing but EU2 and a LAN I would finally get around to trying it out in multiplayer. Assuming the others on the LAN are stuck on the island with me, we can be sure of finishing the game, too.

Even the longest deepest games would probably get boring so,

Tetris
Chess (any decent computerized version)
NiGHTS (Sega Saturn)

With an internet connection I'd go with WC3 at the moment, but without one probably the Chess idea appeals most.

I don't know. I would go insane just playing one game, even if it was a very deep game. Thief is a good contender.

If I happened to be stranded on an island with some nicely networked computers and a couple of buddies, I guess I could live with playing Diablo 2 for quite some time. Or maybe Evercrack/something similar that is easy to get addicted to. If you are stuck on an island, what else are you going to be doing?

	Put an end to popups!

diablo II is a great contender for "stranded island game" award, but since I didnt want to just kill 1.0^1000000000 hrs and actually enjoy the game by playing out strategies, I chose fighting games and FPS.

	23-07-2003 13:34									#27

Civ 2, without a doubt since I have yet to touch MP.

My second choice would be HOMM 3. I can play that game all night and not notice the time passing. There are plenty of scenarios and tons of replayability in that one would have to try all the different castle types in every scenario to truly finish the game.

My third would be SP Diablo 2, not coincidentally, the game I have just started to get into. I'm only up to act three starting with a potion horking barbarian that my brother despises. He calls me a common peasent.
