Rhomaios Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I don't think it's possible that I could ever pare it down to just one. I could get rid of the Dreamcast and the Saturn, I can say good-bye to the GameCube, but I'd go crazy if I only had just one game to play. I'd probably get a Wii and just have Mario Kari Wii for the multiplayer experience. But I would be generally depressed if the rest had to go.

riffraff Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 PS Vita + Minna no golf 6. (Hot shots golf 6) or perhaps Disgaea 3. I think if you had to choose any single game it would get boring eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I guess I'd go with Ogre Battle for the SNES. Tough choice, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Tough question. I'd probably end up choosing the 5200 and Star Raiders. I think I'd be happier with the Intellivision and AD&D (Cloudy Mountain), but my nostalgia for Star Raiders is stronger so that would probably tip it for me.

desiv Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Vectrex with Minestorm.. I somehow never tire of that game.. There are better games on the system technically, and better games on other systems... But its just fun and easy to get into; and I don't seem to get tired of it month after month, year after year... And I'm so bad that I don't even have to worry about the level 13 glitch.. I'll never get there.. desiv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 A Sega Genesis with the Genesis 6-Pak cartridge. They aren't Sega's BEST titles, but at least I'd have some variety. Columns... for puzzle time Super Hang-On... for racing Sonic the Hedgehog... classic Revenge of Shinobi... classic Streets of Rage & Golden Axe... urban and fantasy beat-em-ups 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hmmm. 3 features factor heavily into this one for me. -*huge* games with tons of content -level editors -games that generate random levels I can't think of any old games that have all three, or even do two of the three well. I guess I'd go with Starflight on Genesis, which falls into the 'huge' category. It's a pretty complex game that would take me a long time to master, set on a playfield which is a little samey, but no doubt huge. I've never 'gotten into' this game, which makes it an odd choice for the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqoon Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 NES with DK Classics. Both DK and DK Jr, though not optimal ports, but lots of fun still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Does an arcade cabinet count? If so, then Galaga. Otherwise, the one that immediately jumps out is an Odyssey 2 with UFO! Magnavox really got it right with that game. Good thing we aren't forced to make this decision...I'd miss all my other games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akator Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Wow... that is tough. If I had to pick a console and title, it would have to be among these: Vectrex. Since Minestorm is built-in, I'm going to add a cart: the homebrew YASI/Protector. I know, that's cheating, but that way I get the most awesome system ever and 3 awesome games. The wonder of the Vectrex, great controllers, and those 3 games would keep me going forever. Sega Genesis and Sonic the Hedgehog. Good controllers, reliable system, great game with many ways to play (exploration, speed, whatever). I want to say Dreamcast, but I love too many games to pick one. ColecoVision and Donkey Kong. Problem is, my arthritic hands can't deal with the controllers anymore for more than an hour tops. Plus, the ColecoVision would die and need repair within several months. Still, if I was 12 again I could play it for 8 hour marathons every day. Sega Master System and R-Type. PlayStation and Intelligent Qube. Second runner up game: FF7. Third runner up game: Crash Bandicoot (the original). Fourth: Ergeiz (Dungeon). Computers... now that's a completely different story.
