Septerra Core

Septerra Core wouldn't be on that list, except I played it once for a couple hours, never found the game again, and have been slowly going out of my mind wondering how it turns out. If I can pick a game, I'd pick that one, just so that I can finally get that annoyance out of my head.

I consider choosing massively multiplayer online role-playing games the definitive answer to the question.

Because video games are limited in scope, you will eventually run out of things to do in the game because you are on a desert island and have nothing better to do. Because massively multiplayer online role-playing games are virtually unlimited in scope, a deserted person could lead a productive virutal life in their perception, possibly making them a little more happier being stranded on that desert island.

But it's cheating! Also, what kind of deserted island has an internet connection? xD If that was the case, you could just download more games.

Well, maybe it is a wireless connection with a badly configured router that only allows the selected game to connect and perform any related functions. I mean, I don't think of it as like a real desert island, more like a way to see what you think would keep you occupied the longest!

- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (200 hours of free time sucked up right there)
- Tetris (can't believe no one listed this yet)
- Final Fantasy VII (lost the 3rd disc years ago, never did beat Safer Sephiroth)
- Devil May Cry (for the times you feel like kicking some ass)
- Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (it's the only Sonic game I can remember clearly, and it was wicked)
