Video Game Desert Island draft

That's correct.

With my first pick, I select:

 

Final Fantasy 6 (SNES, 1994)

 

 

My favorite RPG of all time. When it came out in 1994, it was just worlds beyond anything else out there. I was never as awestruck by a game as I was the first time I played through it. The World of Ruin was particularly brilliant - totally free-form, giving the player a level of freedom they'd never had before to go through it however they wanted. Even now, it's a great example of how you don't need fancy FMV and long cut scenes to build interesting characters, create an engaging world and tell a great story. And the soundtrack is my favorite of all time, primitive MIDIs and all.

Mario 3 being gone makes this an easy pick.

 

 

Mega Man 2 (NES, 1989)

[luke-o 0]

You prick! That was going to be my next choice.

Ok, so I just got in from a long camping trip, a bit tired so I'll keep this short (and post a screenshot and stuff later). My pick is Shadowrun for the Genesis. One of my favorite open ended games ever.

 

 

 

The way I see it, if I'm on a deserted Island, I need a game that is somewhat difficult and very open-ended. The setting of the game doesn't hurt either. I love this game because it was GTA before GTA was around, very open ended, and your actions somewhat influenced the game around you.

Favorite game for the system and the best Zelda game ever.

 

Never tried Shadowrun for the Genesis, but loved it on the Super

Man, I didn't think it would be so hard to make my first pick. I don't necessarily want to pick in the order in which I enjoyed games, because it would be smarter to play strategically and hope I don't get screwed. With that said, my first pick is going to be a game that I first played on Nintendo 64 and later bought for the DS because I had enjoyed it so much the first time around. It is perhaps the best Mario game ever, though many of you may disagree. All I know is that I could play this game over and over and have just as much fun each time. My first pick is

 

 

Super Mario 64 - Nintendo 64

I don't think I will make it to the CPU for the rest of the night, is there anyone I can PM my two picks too?

I'll be here all day

[Jer 0]

Aaw I was hoping Mega Man 2 would last a few more rounds.

[Cran Da Maniac 0]

Can we get this thread pinned?

[The Man in Blak 0]

 

Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

On behalf of Gert T:

 

 

Perfect Dark - N64

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Youth N Asia said that the Zelda game he selected was the best Zelda game ever... well I have to politely disagree as I make my first selection:

 

 

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, 1998 (N64)

 

Just a fantastic debut on the N64 and probably led to the disappointment of Majora's Mask with its hard to replicate greatness. I'm simply stunned it lasted this long.

 

 

My second selection-

 

 

Resident Evil 4, 2005 (PS2, GC, Wii)

[Gert T 0]

With my 2nd Round selection, I take:

 

 

 

No Mercy/N64

 

 

I think this and/or Perfect Dark could have got back to me in the 3rd round, but hell why risk it. I love pretty much all the parts of the game play(except button mashing in the cage). And on an island I could pass time but changing guys outfits to make them look stupid during the Intro (Lame, I know).

 

 

 

[The Man in Blak 0]

 

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)

[Youth N Asia 0]

Zelda titles are going fast

[foleyfanforever88 0]

Holy shit did I get fucked on 5 of the last 6 picks. Umm..I guess I'm going to grab it now then..my favorite game of my favorite series:

 

 

 

[luke-o 0]

Damn, I've lost out on Mario Galaxy, RE4, Mega Man 2 and No Mercy in a matter of hours.

 

Damn.

[Cran Da Maniac 0]

Alfdogg should be free to pick now.

[alfdogg 0]

 

Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES, 1988)

[Jer 0]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1, 1997)

 

 

Just the perfect action game. It never gets old, no matter how many times I play through it. The ambiance of the castle is wonderful. And with pretty much an unlimited amount of hidden stuff, including the upside down castle, which is like the best secret ever, it'll keep you busy for a long time. It's also got another just fantastic soundtrack.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

 

Metroid Prime - GC

 

One of the only games that I've ever really put in to play again and again after I'd beaten it.

[foleyfanforever88 0]

Noooooooooooo

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1, 1997)

Figured it wouldn't last, twas my next pick

Speaking of your next pick, yours passed like three picks ago.

[luke-o 0]

And speaking of your picks alfdogg, add a description as to why you picked the game.

[Cran Da Maniac 0]

I'm going open ended again, and choosing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

 

 

 

 

This is what I feel is the best game in the GTA, and one that I could spend hours playing on a deserted island.

[luke-o 0]

I may have missed out on Mario 3 and Mario Galaxy, but I can still pick the best Mario game ever made.

 

 

Super Mario World - SNES (1992)

 

As I said, it's the best Mario platform game ever made. Great graphics, amazing soundtrack and thousands of secrets. This may well be the best platform game ever made.

[Black Lushus 0]

I, too, love Super Mario World more than the others...Mario 64 would be #2 on my list. I have Galaxy but haven't played it yet so perhaps things may change?
