I always wanted to string the actor who played it and disembowel it, costume and all.

Okay just read this!

If I had to take one game it would be Captive, it NEVER ends!!

btw you can take a game but what about the machine to play it on?

What about electricity to power it?

Djay · 12 November 2002, 00:52

i'd befriend a Crab, and make some kind of generator.......

alkis21 · 12 November 2002, 13:59

Djay beat me to it, I'd take ADMS and I'd make one text adventure game per year.
But if it had to be a game, I'd choose SWOS.

Guede · 12 November 2002, 15:47

If I had to be stuck and playing only the one game for five years it would have to definately be Microprose Pirates. Ive bought and played this game since it first release on the c64 then Amiga, and I even bought the P.C version.

I reckon that I would probably spend a fair bit of time sitting on my hands so I could play with myself and imagine it was someone else.

What about Kick Off 2 Champ?

Daz · 12 November 2002, 18:11

Just to throw mine in - I'd take Cannon Fodder of course! or possible Chaos Engine - Depending on what kind of mood I was in at the exact time of day I got mysteriously transported to a desert island having no recolection of how it happened - my god what the hell is going on! what the FUCK!

ahem.

BippyM · 12 November 2002, 18:22

What happens when your mood changes once there?

Daz · 12 November 2002, 19:08

Then i'd get on the mobile and get my brother to drop some more off when he's passing next.

Oh and by the way - how does this island get its power? plus what kind of tv will it be? I only ever play my amiga games on a true flatscreen widescreen tv these days

Nah, although it's still the best 2 player game the computer is too easy. I could pick Player Manager but the managing part is very simple compared to SWOS.

BippyM · 13 November 2002, 12:53

Surely someone would take Party Games

Incomparabile · 13 November 2002, 17:08

What a thread! It's funny, and also I will try to make you laugh

-I should take with me Workbench 1.3: I never use it

-If the island is desert "It came from the desert" is the right game

Seriously, I would take "Civilization".

CodyJarrett · 13 November 2002, 17:17

Civilization for me too!

Antiriad · 13 November 2002, 22:32

Settlers for me. It brings me sheer joy to see the little folks painstakingly building a mediaeval paradise...

blackcornflake · 13 November 2002, 23:37

Well, I've tried my hardest to think of a game to beat SWOS, and failed completely. So it's SWOS.

OK. I will force myself to imagine a bleak alternate reality, wherein the world is SWOS-less. In that case I guess I would have to play Worms DC.

My criteria: rather than concentrating on the sheer size of a game, I tried to think of one that combines variability, customisation and (most importantly) the smallest risk of random event irritation. Something like a pinball game would be fun for a while, but should the ball ricochet unfairly and disappear down a gutter that one time too many, methinks the Amiga would be hurled into the sea in a mad rage. :kill

13 November 2002, 23:42

Nearly finishing Ishar III, I've changed my mind about it. I'll take...Ultima VI!

...But it's just because the game has to be an Amiga title, otherwise I'd get The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind and it's expansion Tribunal. The best computer game ever made IMNSHO

Dastardly · 13 November 2002, 23:45

@Burseg
What would you compare Morrowind to? I was looking at it in the comp shop the other day and nearly bought it. Only didnt because I dont know enough about it.

14 November 2002, 00:13

I would compare it to Daggerfall, it's prequel. While daggerfall's world seemed to be wider, dungeons, quests and NPCs were quite generic and repetitive. Morrowind has a smaller world but it's still WAY larger than any RPG game around and every inch of the game world is thought on. The most important positive point about Morrowind is, the game is "believeable", you do feel like you are role playing for game mostly depends on your decisions on matters and doesn't force in quests. Compared to linear storyline and limited gameplay of other games, Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights or Pool of Radiance, Morrowind has revolutionary features. The game has it's own level/skill advancement system. It doesn't use a pen&paper based system like dungeons&dragons games. In my opinion, this is good, for it is clear that a CRPG works different than a Classic RPG game and while I like the classic AD&D 2nd edition game system, new D&D games are 3rd edition, which basically butchers all the fun. D&D games and some other RPG systems' CRPG games force you to "power play" while Morrowind's goal is to "role play"

It also looks like Wizardry 8. This game is ok as well but combats are poor gameplay-wise and has several other design faults. Might and Magic VI to IX do also use a first person perspective like morrowind therefore look similar but believe me, there is currently no game at the market that can beat morrowind's gameplay and original world.
