What is Your Desert Island Game?

[robocelot]

Barring that, I'd have to say Diablo 3 (again, hoping they release it by the time I'm on the island) Diablo 2 is perhaps the second most (actually, maybe the first but it doesn't keep track of hours played so I can't be sure) played game by me. This game is great cause you can always try to get better weapons since they're random, and when you get utterly tired of being nice you can PK people and find a whole new evil life to live. (hardcore or nothing. if it doesn't matter if you die, what does it matter if you live?)

Those are my picks. Anyone agree with me?

I agree with you in theory about Diablo 2, but I'll up the ante and say Nethack which has even more random dungeons and events and is nearly impossible to beat. Sure, it's not as purdy as Diablo but who gives a crap about pretty graphics when there's no one to show it off to? :-)

My second choice would be one that we came up with on the classic gaming usenet groups more than a decade ago (yes, us old fogies were having desert island game discussions back then!) -- Gravitar for the Atari 2600, which is a fiendishly difficult game but not so difficult that you would give up in disgust. It's something that would take years of dedicated gaming to finish.

Mmm, definitely Starcraft. I love first-person-shooters, but nothing will ever be more timeless to me than Starcraft.

Definitely the as-yet-unreleased "Boat Building Trainer" for DS :-)
