-Enter The Gungeon -King of Dragons -Dragon's Crown -Mario Kart 8 DX -Final Fantasy Tactics -Zelda BotW -Megaman Legends 2 -Capcom vs SNK2 -Mario Maker 2 (I'll learn to develop levels for my personal enjoyment) -Super Bomberman 5 OR Columns for Game Gear specifically.
@ammonitida I played CvS2 on my own for YEARS. Theres so many characters, I just had fun. Dont just assume people derive fun from games the same way you do. Its there for a reason. MY reason :).
Hmm... that is an interesting question, and my picks would most likely be... -Castlevania - Symphony of the Night -Morrowind -Phantasy Star 4 -Super Metroid -Diablo 2 (Remake or OG) -Bloodborne -Dragon's Crown -The Witcher 3 -DOOM 2 -Ocarina of Time
Ten games for the rest of my life🤔 In no particular order: Golden axe. Golden axe revenge of death adder. NBA jam. Aliens vs predator. Double dragon. X-men. TMNT. TMNT turtles in time. Michael Jackson's moonwalker. WWF wrestle fest.
You, sir, are a man of good taste. I just put in another comment that my list of ten games would be heavy on beat-em-up games too. I'd be sure to get Cadillacs & Dinosaurs on there, but Alien vs. Predator would be a top pick as well. Honestly, I could probably do all ten as beat-em-ups and be happy. I don't get tired of the good ones.
I remember playing road rash and just crashing intentionally and then just running around the whole track. It felt like an open world when those words didnt mean much back then.
@@skaneverdies My 7 year old niece was playing Road Rash 2 for the first time a few days back and she asked if the people on the side of the track were "real people or just in the computer?". I said they are whatever you imagine them to be. The shared experience lives on!
@@SegaLordX[In Homer voice] You didn't show a single game about islands with cookies, pies or cakes. Uuuuuuuuhnsubscribing. Oh, wait that word has two "s"s? D'oh.
Sega Lord X: If I was on a desert island with limited resources, and could only bring 10 games, these are the 10 games I would bring. Also Sega Lord X: *somehow manages to find room and space for a 3DO, Neo Geo, N64, Sega Saturn, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and a PC*
Can't say I'd consider even 1 of the mentioned games save for Mario 64. But I'd take the DS version with 30 extra stars, 4 playable characters and a lot of mini-games. In terms of replay value it has far more than the original.
It’s actually not that bad of an idea. If you’re on an island and you only have one game to bring, why bring a game you can easily beat? For some people they can play one game for the rest of their lives and beat it endlessly, for others, they can only play a game so many times before they get bored with the one game. How many times Mario gotta save Princess before you go insane and start hearing the music in your sleep 😆
That is a nice varied list and I will have to check out the games on it that I haven't played. My desert island 10 would probably be the following: Phantasy Star IV (Genesis), Phantasy Star (Master System), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1), Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PC), Super Metroid (SNES), Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura (PC), System Shock 2 (PC), Shining Force (Genesis), Final Fantasy VI (SNES), and Snatcher (Sega CD). Some honorable mentions that could have made the list depending on my mood include: Dark Wizard (Sega CD), The entire Ys series (MSX, Master System, Turbo CD, SNES, Genesis, PSP, PC), Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (PCE-CD), Metroid Fusion (Game Boy Advance), A Link to the Past (SNES), Link's Awakening (Game Boy), Lunar: The Silver Star (Sega CD), Lunar: Eternal Blue (Sega CD), Planescape: Torment (PC), Fallout 2 (PC), The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PC), Chrono Trigger (SNES), Warsong (Genesis), Shining Force II (Genesis), Shining Force CD (Sega CD), Phantasy Star II (Genesis), Phantasy Star III (Genesis), D&D: Shadow over Mystara (Arcade), Dark Seal II: Wizard Fire (Arcade), Samurai Shodown II (Neo Geo), Super Street Fighter II (Arcade), Mortal Kombat II (Arcade), and Ultimate Mortal Kombat III (Arcade).
Never thought about it, but if compilations were allowed the Sega Genesis Classics would be an extremely good option, even for non Sega fans. Over 50 classic games. Tons of rpgs, adventure games and arcade style titles with tons or replayability.
If compilations were allowed, that would definitely be one of my top picks. There are a lot of games on there great enough to justify the price for just one of them.
Bro, I could live on just two games almost indefinitely, Arma 3 and Kerbal Space Program have got me covered for a decade alone. Any small variety in the other eight would just be a bonus. Empire: Total War would rock.
It makes me happy that so many people have Dragon's Crown on their list. Because that is honestly the best beat-em-up ever made. And it's replay value is pretty much infinite.
Wanna hear something kinda funny? I couldn't stand it. Bought it at its original release super excited to play. Gave it hours of my time to try and find what people saw in it. Never found it. It has sat on my shelf ever since.
This video really show the wide range of games that you play, so your perspective on games is always very welcome. Other reviews that you've done so far align with my taste when he comes to GamePlay and overall value of a game. As always excellent work.
Potential Replay value was a huge part of choices i made when buying games as a kid. You had limited funds so wanted to ensure you would get heaps of play out of a game. That’s why i leaned towards arcade style games, rightly or wrongly.
in road rash y'all ever try walking up to a cow in the field after u crash? when u bump one it stands on its hind legs and it's eyes like crazy and kinda shimmys backwards on 3d0
Nice list. When it comes to replayability, Sega's NiGHTs is King for me. Getting A on every level is just the beginning of your journey learning how to fly with total fluidity whilst performing the eponymous character's many aerobatic stunts.
Great list. The desert island question really forces you to think, and it's interesting to see other peoples' lists. For me, I'd pick stuff like one of the Civilization games, Tetris and Minecraft.
@@cloudtx I only recently got into strategy games with the latest Civ. Never touched the genre before this, but now it's been two years and I'm still hooked. 😀
-Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim (with mods would be cool) -Final Fantasy VIII -Hyrule Warriors (either one) -Streets of Rage 4 -7 Days to Die (with mods would be cool) -Zelda: BotW -Diablo 2 or Grim Dawn -Some kind of looter/shooter like Borderlands or Destiny(I know Destiny wouldn't work since it's online only) -Warcraft 3 with Frozen Throne(what's nice is it has a custom map/campaign builder) -Pokemon Yellow/Red/Green/Blue
Nice list! Also, what an interesting question. Replay value would have to be king but you'd also need a fair share of genre variety. Mine would look like this: -Civilization III -Fallout -Fallout: New Vegas -Final Fantasy VIII -Gran Turismo 5 -Half-Life -L.A. Noire -Castlevania: Symphony of the Night -Demon's Souls -Hitman: Blood Money
You've sold it to me, I now want to take these 10 to a desert island and get stuck in. Great to see a few of the modern non-Sega games you've been playing SLX. Episode idea: 10 games that should be blasted into space for aliens to discover.
Another great video brother! Here's my top 10 deserted island list(this is assuming it's a *REAL* desserted island with NO internet access for online play). 1-Resident Evil 5: The Mercenaries 2-Assetto Corsa with mods 3-Ridge Racer 2 PSP 4-Skyrim w/mods 5-Fallot 3 w/mods 6-Dungeon Master PC DOS version (via DosBox) 7-Scud Race 8-Ms Pac-Man 9-OutRun 2SP DX (Lindbergh Hardware version) 10-Streets of Rage 4
It’s kinda funny, I saw the title to your video and my first thought was Skyrim. Watched the whole video and bang there it was. Great work as always Sega Lord.
For me, a list like this has to include a puzzle game. Something designed to be played over and over forever. My personal pick would be Peggle, but Tetris, Bust-A-Move or Hexcells would be great as well.
Man, this is quite challenging. I think you hit a few really good choices. Here are mine (in no particular order): 1. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 2. Diablo 2 3. Fallout 4 4. Chrono Trigger 5. Warcraft 3 6. Mega Man 2 7. Marvel vs Capcom 2 8. Sonic 2 9. TIE Fighter 10. Sim City 2000 or The Sims
very nice, WC3 is really fucking good, another game that's good from that genre is Lord of the Rings: Battle For Middle Earth II, that has create a hero and loads or replay value.
Oh god good topic. Off the top of my head: 1- Gun (GC) 2- Mario RPG (SNES) 3- Road Rash (PS1) 4- Star Wars KOTOR (XB) 5- Actraiser (SNES) 6- Sonic 3D Blast (Saturn) 7- Goldeneye (Wii) 8- Battletoads/Double Dragon (Gen) 9- Moonwalker (Gen) 10- Star Trek TNG (Gen)
If my dad was still alive I would show him Neo Turf Masters and it would be the first video game he would love to at least watch someone play, if not play himself.
SLX no clue how often you check your comments but I want you to know your the reason I learned how to repair my 32x and get a mega everdrive setup to explore all that sega has to offer in the 16 and 32 bit days. Thanks for the hours of fun ahead!!!!
I knew Dragon Force would be on your list as soon as I saw the video title. I wasn't disappointed! I'm not sure what my whole top 10 would be, but Dragon Force, Mario 64, Dark Cloud 2, Final Fantasy VI, and Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst would be on there.
God of war.grand theft auto san andreas.streets of rage 2.crash bandicoot.syphon filter.resistance fall of man.borderlands 2.contra hard corpse.sly cooper.grand theft auto vice city.word up son
I think for me the #1 spot would be Minecraft. After all these years, I still find myself coming back to it regularly... it's like a favorite food you eat too much of, get sick of for a few months, then crave out of nowhere again and can't get enough until you're sick of it again for a while.
Great Topic!!!! Love this keep them coming!!!! Your channel is one of my Favs... We are close to the same age and lived during the golden age of gaming!!! Here is my List. Mario 64, Destiny 2, Halo CE, Doom(classic on the Jaguar), Diablo 2(New version just released its so good), Shenmue(it comes with some arcade games too!!!!!), Zelda Breath of the Wild, Sim City (Original), Roller Costar Tycoon (Original), & Gamemaker Studio 2 (Yes I develop my own games, I will send you a link of my first game for you to download for free when i am finished..You should download Gamemaker and go through some of the tutorials, super FUN!!! )...
Great vid. These are my picks: 1 OutRun 2 2 AOE 2 3 Broodwar 4 Solitaire (Win 98) 5 Doom (Original or Project Brutality) 6 Neo turf masters 7 Dr Mario 8 Tetris 9 Super Aleste 10 Phantasy star 2
Illusion of Gaia (SNES). Bucky O'Hare (NES). Kid Chameleon (Sega Genesis). The King of Fighters '95 (Neo Geo). Out Run (Sega Saturn). Virtua Fighter 2 (Sega Saturn). Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES). Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES). Fire Pro Wrestling Returns (PS2). Virtual Pro Wrestling 2: Ōdō Keishō (N64).
-SOR 2 -Sonic 3 & Knucles (I know I'm kind of cheating here) -WWE 2K20 (I know it's glitchy as crap even after the update, but I could play this game for years thanks to he customization feature) -Pro Evolution Soccer (Latest version, and after patching everything) -Mario 64 (Had not thought of that one until I saw your list) -Real Bout Fatal Fury Special -Super Street Fighter 2 (Genesis) -StarCraft -Arkham City -Metroid Zero Mission (or Super Metroid) 10 are not enough, had to leave out the GOW games, GTA games, older wrestling games, MegaMan games, Shinobi games, TMNT games (Especially the Hyperstone Heist) and a bunch more...
Dragon Force!! Fuck yeah!!! It hurts my heart that there hasn't been a rerelease, or the sequel properly translated. I still go back to this game regularly!
One thing is for sure. I could never tire of playing Outrun, it's my favourite game of all time and return to it time after time. It is gaming perfection 👍
First batch of games that come to mind: Gate of Thunder Lords of Thunder Ys Book 1 and 2 (Chronicles) Thunder Force 3 Redout Super Metroid Castlevania Aria of Sorrow Donkey Kong Country 2 Panzer Dragoon M.U.S.H.A. Possible substitute depending on my mood: Mario Golf (N64) A lot of these are among my favorite games, but some are cases of games that I just went back to and got a lot of value from.
GTA: San Andreas (PS2), Thief: Deadly Shadows (Xbox), Deus Ex (PC), Burnout 3: Takedown (Xbox), Samurai Shodown 1 or 2 (Neo*Geo), Pin*Bot (NES), Bejeweled 3 (PC), Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusades (Xbox), Warlords (Atari 2600 [the original 4-player party game!]), Perfect Dark (N64 ... w/Xbox360 Clarity & FPS :D) As you can probably tell, I haven't kept up with gaming for a couple of generations now, but any and all of the above games are a guaranteed good time.
Man, Dragon Force looks fantastic! I would love a modern release of it somehow. Prices for a physical of the original Saturn release are quite insane! Sega keeps re-releasing Genesis games, but I hope they finally acknowledge the Saturn again and start re-releasing some of those titles!
They did it with the Saturn Cotton game, the hackers found out that it had a Saturn emulator for Switch that ran several games much better than the game it was made for.
- Mario 64 - Zelda Between Worlds - Final Fantasy 9 - Shining Force 2 - Castlevania Symphony of the night - Suikoden 2 - Grandia 1 - Mario Kart 8 - Age of Empires 2 DE - Bayonetta 2
- Tetris DX (GBC) - Burnout 3: Takedown (Xbox) - Donkey Kong (arcade) - Bosconian (arcade) - Dig Dug (arcade) - Bubble Bobble (arcade) - Fallout: New Vegas (Xbox) - Doom 2016 (PS4) Also, people tell me Stardew Valley is a humongous, enjoyable time sink, but I have yet to start playing that one, so can't say for sure.
This was a great list and could easily be mine as well. I'd only make one change - I'd swap OutRun 2 for Gran Turismo 2. For all the great reasons you listed about OutRun's relaxation factor I feel the same for the sim style of GT2. I also have a fondness for the cars released around that time.
Problem with GT2 is it doesn't really have that many race events. There are some mods that fix this issue though. And I agree, my favorite car roster from any racing game.
Always liked this question. Never went 10 before. I also like to iterate no compilations or online games. 1: Chrono Trigger. My comfort food. Just have to play it every so often. 2: Fallout 4. I was late to the franchise and pick this one because I could build settlements for hrs when not playing the story. 3: SSX 3. Partly a nostalgic pick as so many great memories with my late wife. 4: Hot Shots Golf… let’s say 3 for same reasons as above. 5: WWE 2K14. Could pick a few different ones here (including No Mercy), but loved the Wrestlemania Mode and might have had my most favourite created roster. 6: NHL 22. Need a hockey game and skipped this year so why not🙂 7: Super Street Fighter II. Could be just about any SF, but this one holds a special place with me. 8: Legend of Zelda : Link to the Past. Who doesn’t like going back to this one?!? 9: Red Dead Redemption 2. Because I haven’t died in yet😅 10: Persona 5 Royal. Another big game to eat up lots of time. And can just go to school when start going crazy! 😅
- Super Mario All Stars (not a compilation, but a full remake release) - NBA Live 96 (Genesis) - Civilization 4 - Crusader Kings II - Baldur's Gate II - Heroes of Might and Magic IV - Hades - Witcher 3 - Red Dead Redemption 2 - Picross DS, to go potty I asume I won't have internet on a desert island so, no multiplayer, but electricity for some reason xD
Let's see... - cannon fodder - dune 2 - first quake - diablo 2 - first soul calibur - wip3out - Kerbal space program Man I need a very big hard drive for that damned island!
SLX, I have suggested this too many TH-camrs, my take was: you can only play one game from each of the classic consoles, what would they be? My examples: Atari 2600: Adventure Intellivision: Utopia SMS: Rastan Genesis: Strider Saturn: Magic Carpet Dreamcast: Quake III Arena Xbox: Halo Combat Evolved ... etc
Ah, the classic "desert island games" scenario. This is always a fun one, so here are my ten: - Xenoblade Chronicles 2: I love this game's story and characters, but it also offers a vast open world, hundreds of side quests, and the randomized Blade system can change your playthrough everytime. On top of that,it has a New Game Plus mode with exclusive content. - Final Fantasy VI: Another favorite story, it also features tons of possible party combinations and a huge amount customization possibilities - Pokemon HeartGold: Pokemon is the king of replayability, and while almost any main series game could go here, HG's Battle Frontier facility pushes it over the edge - Mario Kart DS: A quick race of Mario Kart is always refreshing, and the extensive Mission Mode exclusive to this game is a treat. - Tales of Symphonia: Another RPG favorite, the game's affection system with fellow party members can change several minor scenes and even parts of the story on repeat playthroughs - Disgaea 1 Complete: Almost any Disgaea game could go here. You can grind, customize and min-max your units to absurdity, and the Item World randomized dungeon can create endless challenges. - Castlevania Symphony of the Night: Specifically, I would go for the newer version on PSP/PS4, so Richter and Maria would both be available as additional playthroughs. - Capcom vs SNK 2: Not only does it have tons of fighters and Grooves to learn and master, but the soundtrack is worth listening to all on its own. - Yu-Gi-Oh Legacy of the Duelist: I love TCG video games, and Yu-Gi-Oh is one of my favorites. This one has story modes for all of the TV shows, special challenge modes and thousands of cards to build your deck with - Persona 4: Like Symphonia, your actions and character relationships can heavily affect your playthrough, and New Game Plus lets you carry over stats and Personas unlocked
I would probably be too busy living the desert island life for gaming, but if I did, I would probably take Ninja Kiwi's Bloons TD 5, Bejeweled 3, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong 1, 2, 3, Returns, and Tropical Freeze.
Quite a diverse list of games. So I have to confess that although I love Mario 64, I couldn't imagine making it one of 10 games to basically play forever. Mario 64 even has tons of replayability, but it's also a game I've played to death. I guess if I tried to perfect speed running it... but, nah, there are some games I've played too much and can only return to them once every so many years.
I'll throw 10 out there that I could play repeatedly: Road Rash - Genesis Metroid - NES Tecmo Bowl - NES Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! - NES Doom - PC Final Fight - Arcade Street Fighter II - Arcade Tetris - Gameboy or NES NBA Street 2 - Gamecube, PS2 or XBox WWF No Mercy - N64 Cheers!
Solid list. I would likely opt for games that have tons of content and exploring as well. But also games that reward skill so it doesn't feel tedious. Perhaps Forza Horizon 4, Skyrim, Zelda BotW, etc. Definitely some variety would be needed. I don't play many sims but I would want something that allows for creativity.
First time commenter been a huge fan of your content awhile dude, my desert island games would be those with create modes. Minecraft and Terraria would be easy pics, Tony Hawk games with the level editor and soundtracks, and of course Mario Maker. So if your stuck on that island without rum you can make your own fun
Great topic! My list 1. N64 Worms Armageddon 2. N64 Mario Kart 64 3. Xbox 360 Arcade Hydro Thunder Hurricane 4. Wii Mario Galaxy 5. Genesis Mega Bomberman 6. PS1 Board Game Top Shop 7. PS2 GTA San Andreas 8. TG16 CD Vasteel 9. Xbox 360 Halo Reach (not for the campaign) 10. Neo Geo Neo Turf Master
My top 10 would be: Shining Force (GBA) Shining Force 2 Shining Force 3 Lunar SSSC Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005) GTA V Sonic and All Star Racing Transformed Minecraft Brigandine (The Legend of Forsena) Resident Evil 4
I am glad someone explained my love of MGSV the game has 100 of hour of game play and lot of variety... you have 100 of weapons at your disposal and can approach a problem different ways the base development and raiding of other people installations add rpg elements and their at least 60+ hours of lore of the universe from the cassette tapes given to you or found in the game....it gives you so much... I played 200 hours and still only have a 75 percent completion rate. .. people get hung up on their being no third act but the second act is a resolution of several plot elements
My desert island game list: Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Mania, Fallout: New Vegas, Ocarina of Time, A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Freelancer, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Diablo II, Brave Fencer Musashi, Virtua Racing Deluxe, Diddy Kong Racing, Super Mario World, the Xenosaga trilogy, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Banjo-Kazooie, Daytona USA, Mario Kart 64, Mega Man X, Shinobi III, Task Force Harrier EX, Einhänder, Fighting Vipers, Oblivion, Skyrim, Unreal, Unreal 2, Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake III Arena, SimCity 4, Age of Empires II, Rise of Nations, Empire Earth, Super Mario 64, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario All-Stars, Gun, Killer Instinct Gold, Halo 1-2, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Super Castlevania IV
My list of games with endless replay value: Shining Force 2, Toe Jam & Earl, Shadow Dancer, Streets of Rage 1 and 2, Sonic 2, Shinobi 3, Rolling Thunder 2, Bonanza Bros., Monster World IV, Castle of Illusion, Golden Axe, General Chaos, Gunstar Heroes, Shining Force (all of them for Sega Genesis, and there are many others on the console)
The problem with the recent games you picked is that some would require internet to play due to its DRM policies. Same apply to Steam/EGS games... Or you could take some old games on GOG ( As of now, they dont enforce DRM ) Other that, good selection of games.
Every Christmas i play the Shenmue Games on Dreamcast and PC. This was and still is my Wet Dream the all time Champion F.R.E.E by Legendary Yu Suzuki and SEGA
F-zero, dead or alive 2, virtua fighter2,sega rally, mario bros, tetris,castlevania 3, gears of war 3,halowars2,diablo 2, those are my picks, lotta variety but I absolutely love all these games, thanks for that SLX,your show is always the shit bro,keep good stuff coming ,
My ten: Shining Force III Panzer Dragoon Saga Shadow Hearts Shadow Hearts II Sakura Wars 3 Skies of Arcadia Trails in the Sky: SC Trails in the Sky: The 3rd Trails from Zero Trails to Azure
I get burned out on the same game, music, food, job, neighborhood… it’s hard to think of what games could stand the test of time for me. However, I have some: •Escape Velocity: Nova •Marathon: Infinity •StarCraft II •Civilization V •Virtua Tennis •Burnout III: Takedown •Halo 3 •Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare •Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain •??? Why these games (and only 9)? Well, these are games that I feel like I already HAVE been playing and replaying for a long time, gave me really great entertainment that sequels and competitors merely try to live up to, and refuse to get worn out. If you’ve never played EV: Nova… it’s essentially the perfect laptop game. The game saves every time you land your spaceship on a planet (which you might do a few times a minute), and you can pick up and play for as short or long a session as you desire. Great, near novel-quality writing and 8 storylines to follow, plus side missions and little secrets that unlock side missions and more flavor, plus it’s just fun to made tons of money as a trader, raiding pirates to capture the ultimate ship, and customizing your ship’s performance and armament. The core gameplay of 2D spaceships with thrust and inertia was cool in a simple and accessible yet satisfying and tense way. This game came with me through the lifetime of 5 computers, and I would still play it today if the developers hadn’t gone out of business and modern operating systems were backwards compatible. Marathon Infinity has similar charm as the sprite-based DOOM series, but more mature with an unsettling dark Sci-Fi atmosphere, intricate and multi-path story that branches alternate universes and has some levels just for acknowledging the meta of you trying to find your way and overcome, plus it comes with Anvil and Forge… and just like the later Bungie games that had their own versions of Forge, these were tools supplied for making your own levels (which many people did, including total conversions). StarCraft II also has an editor and an online arcade with tons of game variants, but honestly I love the base game and multiplayer. It’s almost like therapeutic weight-training for people with ADHD, being very stimulating but encouraging you to get better at multitasking, and multiplayer would be important to keep the game fresh and to keep me from being too lonely on a hypothetical desert island 😉 I’m not sure which Civ game to put here, so I just put the last one I bought. Honestly, I only played the Civ Revolution game for smartphones (iOS), but I played the ever loving crap out of it for years until the developer added bugs and then stopped updating it, and Apple dropped compatibility for it. Still, I’m sure that “just one more turn” and addictive nature translates to the PC version of Civ V, and it would be fresh for me to play at first but much deeper in gameplay once I get into it. Weird to list a game I haven’t actually played on my list, but it still feels like an appropriate choice for the scenario. Virtua Tennis. A glorified but beautiful Pong? Well, this game certainly was deeper than Pong, but a sports game like this has a fun gameplay loop and you don’t have to worry about already knowing the plot twists of a story or having played through the whole thing already. Super great for couch-coop (hopefully I have or can make friends on this island, right?), also there is a neat career mode if I wanted something longer form to sink my teeth into. When “I” think about fun racing games that are all about speed, adrenaline, and addiction, first to mind is Burnout 3: Takedown. It can get pretty challenging, and the career mode seems to be never-ending, but the moment to moment gameplay of risking near misses for extra boost power, slamming rival cars into big crashes, and the beautiful and colorful courses and tons of cars have a lot of variety. The only things are that I wish the camera was a bit higher off the ground and looking down at the car just a bit more so I can see the cars in front of me (without switching to the dizzying first person view), and I’m burned out on pretty much all the music (I only liked 2-3 tracks in the first place, but even those I eventually heard too many times). Oh, and Crash mode was really fun! Halo 3. Yeah, the story is linear, so you wouldn’t think this would have much replay ability, but you can track down several Easter eggs, find skulls that make the game harder or different, and also just mess around with the sandbox (warthog jumping, vehicle commandeering, rare dialogue, jumping to weird places and trying to break the game). It’s the most complete package FPS game I have played so far (in my opinion), and I need that genre in my life. The music is ACE. The gameplay is ACE. Multiplayer? There is couch co-op, and there was something about this game’s multiplayer that made it feel like a sport, also the skill based matchmaking made games feel competitive but fair, and taught me to be a better gamer. The value of other’s Forge creations cannot be understated, and it was also just a great social “place” to hang out. The community around Halo 3 could not be understated, and it sprung right back up when Halo 3 was re-released as part of the Master Chief collection (but I haven’t played MCC yet, only have the Xbox 360 release). Reach’s Forge mode was better, and I loved ODST’s music, but only Halo 3 did every aspect of the game at an A grade quality, and I think the colorful graphics stand the test of time better than the earlier games or the more “realistic” later games. CoD4 was such a great game, I was able to play it so much that the younger Zoomers out there might call me a Boomer (even though the baby boomers were my parents generation???). This to me is all about the multiplayer, the right feel of gunplay, and the arena of maps that were just the right balance of action dense and giving you enough room to make escapes or big flanking plays (also, it was easy to tell where to go to fight enemies). The story is Great the first few times, and I played around with the score-keeping “arcade” modes and veteran difficulty, but campaign does get old because of the boring enemy AI and linear story. But that multiplayer… so addicting! Metal Gear V. For all the same reasons Sega Lord X gave. I have been picking it up occasionally for three years, and I still haven’t beaten it yet. It’s just fun to mess around, capture high-ranking enemies to join your army and build up your base, stealth-neutralize enemy bases, discover weird stuff like making your horse poop to make enemy trucks crash, sand-sliding in your “tactical” boxes, or tranquilizing enemies by shooting their alert “!” marks. It’s a crazy deep game! That’s 9 games. I don’t even know what else I would pick to retire with, off the top of my head. I LOVE games, but there’s been so many good games that have come out but I haven’t even played yet, which might fit into this challenge well. Skyrim, X3: Terrain conflict, The Witcher 3, these are all must-play games that I own, but just like Civilization V I haven’t actually started playing them yet! In no small part, this is due to their highly addictive nature, and I’m sure I would get deeply sucked into them, possibly to unhealthy levels. That might be perfect for a “Desert Island 🏝 “ situation, though honestly we sort of had that kind of situation during the pandemic lockdown of 2020, and I spent that time diving into retro games I had missed before (SNES Classic and PS Classic), playing through the eerily prescient Death Stranding (also an amazing soundtrack!!!!), and feeding an addiction to the newer CoD: Modern Warfare and Warzone. Sometimes you need to break away from replaying addicting games so that you can play new games (and clear that backlog)!!!
-Enter The Gungeon

-Super Bomberman 5 OR Columns for Game Gear specifically.
Needs some more Sega.
@ammonitida I played CvS2 on my own for YEARS. Theres so many characters, I just had fun. Dont just assume people derive fun from games the same way you do. Its there for a reason. MY reason :).
@ammonitida If that was true then i would be a pro right now...which i'm not
@@an3582 You're right, I've played fighting games alone for years and i still enjoy them , the fact that you need 2 players to enjoy them is false
Where's Deus Ex?
Hmm... that is an interesting question, and my picks would most likely be...
-Castlevania - Symphony of the Night
-Morrowind
-Phantasy Star 4
-Super Metroid
-Diablo 2 (Remake or OG)
-Bloodborne
-Dragon's Crown
-The Witcher 3
-DOOM 2
-Ocarina of Time
Some rather fine choices there, I could probably survive a desert island with your list.
You are a video making machine! So many videos in such short time.
Thanks for the amazing content!
My pleasure!
Another great video SLX, always look forward to the next one.
Much appreciated! Thanks.
@@SegaLordX This was a fun video.
Ten games for the rest of my life🤔
In no particular order:
Golden axe.
Golden axe revenge of death adder.
NBA jam.
Aliens vs predator.
Double dragon.
X-men.
TMNT.
TMNT turtles in time.
Michael Jackson's moonwalker.
WWF wrestle fest.
Fun times
@@Tolbat gotta rock with the old school. 🙏🏻👊
Good list. Can't ever go wrong with a load of Genesis games
You, sir, are a man of good taste. I just put in another comment that my list of ten games would be heavy on beat-em-up games too. I'd be sure to get Cadillacs & Dinosaurs on there, but Alien vs. Predator would be a top pick as well. Honestly, I could probably do all ten as beat-em-ups and be happy. I don't get tired of the good ones.
@@buckroger6456 genesis games was definitely my preferred choice as a kid.
I remember playing road rash and just crashing intentionally and then just running around the whole track. It felt like an open world when those words didnt mean much back then.
I did this too! You could even form friendships / make enemies with the other characters. Felt like a living, breathing world.
Glad I’m not the only one that did this!
Woah, wild to hear such a specific memory shared by other folks. Me too. Wished so bad I could enter the buildings.
@@skaneverdies My 7 year old niece was playing Road Rash 2 for the first time a few days back and she asked if the people on the side of the track were "real people or just in the computer?". I said they are whatever you imagine them to be. The shared experience lives on!
Or when your bike blew up a mile from the finish line and just ran the rest of the way lol
I thought this was going to be games about desert islands and I was super excited. This makes more sense though.
I wonder. How many games are there about Desert Islands?
I know of Lost in Blue, Survival Kids, Dead Island.
@@SegaLordX[In Homer voice] You didn't show a single game about islands with cookies, pies or cakes. Uuuuuuuuhnsubscribing. Oh, wait that word has two "s"s? D'oh.
@@SegaLordX does greeeeeen dog counts as 1?
Devil May Cry 1 does take place on a island. Lol
Sega Lord X in No Mercy looking very Perry Saturn-ish... That's almost poetic!
More like Bass.
I was thinking he looked more like an early 2000's Randy Savage!
Sega Lord X: If I was on a desert island with limited resources, and could only bring 10 games, these are the 10 games I would bring.
Also Sega Lord X: *somehow manages to find room and space for a 3DO, Neo Geo, N64, Sega Saturn, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and a PC*
Can't say I'd consider even 1 of the mentioned games save for Mario 64. But I'd take the DS version with 30 extra stars, 4 playable characters and a lot of mini-games. In terms of replay value it has far more than the original.
Phantasy Star Online. It would take a deserted island for me to finally hit 200.
I hit 200 on one character a lot of hours needed for it
I like this channel !
Thank you!
@@SegaLordX 😀
I would bring Desert Bus and dedicate my life to getting high scores.
😂😂😂🤣💀💀💀
Is that a joke?
It’s actually not that bad of an idea. If you’re on an island and you only have one game to bring, why bring a game you can easily beat? For some people they can play one game for the rest of their lives and beat it endlessly, for others, they can only play a game so many times before they get bored with the one game. How many times Mario gotta save Princess before you go insane and start hearing the music in your sleep 😆
@@joshjohnson3442 Right...
@@joshjohnson3442 yeah... i think after one session of Desert Bus i'd smash my head in with a coconut...
That is a nice varied list and I will have to check out the games on it that I haven't played. My desert island 10 would probably be the following: Phantasy Star IV (Genesis), Phantasy Star (Master System), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1), Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PC), Super Metroid (SNES), Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura (PC), System Shock 2 (PC), Shining Force (Genesis), Final Fantasy VI (SNES), and Snatcher (Sega CD).
Some honorable mentions that could have made the list depending on my mood include: Dark Wizard (Sega CD), The entire Ys series (MSX, Master System, Turbo CD, SNES, Genesis, PSP, PC), Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (PCE-CD), Metroid Fusion (Game Boy Advance), A Link to the Past (SNES), Link's Awakening (Game Boy), Lunar: The Silver Star (Sega CD), Lunar: Eternal Blue (Sega CD), Planescape: Torment (PC), Fallout 2 (PC), The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PC), Chrono Trigger (SNES), Warsong (Genesis), Shining Force II (Genesis), Shining Force CD (Sega CD), Phantasy Star II (Genesis), Phantasy Star III (Genesis), D&D: Shadow over Mystara (Arcade), Dark Seal II: Wizard Fire (Arcade), Samurai Shodown II (Neo Geo), Super Street Fighter II (Arcade), Mortal Kombat II (Arcade), and Ultimate Mortal Kombat III (Arcade).
No golf game will ever surpass Neo Turf Masters for me. It is so clean, plays fast, looks good and the music is so catchy. Glad that made the list.
The adaptation on the Neo Geo Pocket Color is incredibly fun, as well.
...TW 2007 (specifically) on the PC is also satisfying and always a great go-to golf game.
I love this channel. Man it brings back so many great memories that I have with Sega
Glad you like them!
@@SegaLordX I heard you say skyrum and i was like, yes! Rhum from the gods, the best game you can have on a desert island, he4.
Love your work man! I think you do more to champion Sega than anybody else - and rightly so! here's hoping for an SLX version of the Saturn Mini :P
Never thought about it, but if compilations were allowed the Sega Genesis Classics would be an extremely good option, even for non Sega fans. Over 50 classic games. Tons of rpgs, adventure games and arcade style titles with tons or replayability.
Yeah, the variety and quality is just too good. They do great compilations.
If compilations were allowed, that would definitely be one of my top picks. There are a lot of games on there great enough to justify the price for just one of them.
Bro, I could live on just two games almost indefinitely, Arma 3 and Kerbal Space Program have got me covered for a decade alone. Any small variety in the other eight would just be a bonus. Empire: Total War would rock.
nice. same.
It makes me happy that so many people have Dragon's Crown on their list. Because that is honestly the best beat-em-up ever made. And it's replay value is pretty much infinite.
Wanna hear something kinda funny? I couldn't stand it. Bought it at its original release super excited to play. Gave it hours of my time to try and find what people saw in it. Never found it. It has sat on my shelf ever since.
This video really show the wide range of games that you play, so your perspective on games is always very welcome.
Other reviews that you've done so far align with my taste when he comes to GamePlay and overall value of a game.
As always excellent work.
your videos give me such nostalgia, I think its your presentation and voice over.
Potential Replay value was a huge part of choices i made when buying games as a kid. You had limited funds so wanted to ensure you would get heaps of play out of a game. That’s why i leaned towards arcade style games, rightly or wrongly.
I was exactly the same.
in road rash y'all ever try walking up to a cow in the field after u crash? when u bump one it stands on its hind legs and it's eyes like crazy and kinda shimmys backwards on 3d0
I forgot how much the Neo Turf Masters golfer looks like Ron Perlman. Great video SLX
Omg I have always hated golf and the games but Neo Turf Masters was a joy to play and learn how to perfect! I totally agree with this pick👍🏽
Funnily enough, you've just made my list of Desert Island You-Tube channels!
Todd will remember this. He's gonna make a Skyrim port to the Dreamcast, just you wait!
Very interesting list here and some damn good fun. Multi system, I think I may go nuts picking this list.
Yup. It's pretty difficult.
@@SegaLordX extremely and several games in your list are utter joy. Was super surprised to see road rash on 3do. Loved it.
Nice list. When it comes to replayability, Sega's NiGHTs is King for me. Getting A on every level is just the beginning of your journey learning how to fly with total fluidity whilst performing the eponymous character's many aerobatic stunts.
Mario 3, Dark Souls 3, Streets of Rage 2, Contra, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Street Fighter Turbo, Mortal Kombat 2, GTA Vice City, GTA 5.
Great list. The desert island question really forces you to think, and it's interesting to see other peoples' lists.
For me, I'd pick stuff like one of the Civilization games, Tetris and Minecraft.
I know right! Civilization has SO much replay value.
@@cloudtx I only recently got into strategy games with the latest Civ. Never touched the genre before this, but now it's been two years and I'm still hooked. 😀
Your videos help me relax during these stressful times.
-Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim (with mods would be cool)
-Final Fantasy VIII
-Hyrule Warriors (either one)
-Streets of Rage 4
-7 Days to Die (with mods would be cool)
-Zelda: BotW
-Diablo 2 or Grim Dawn
-Some kind of looter/shooter like Borderlands or Destiny(I know Destiny wouldn't work since it's online only)
-Warcraft 3 with Frozen Throne(what's nice is it has a custom map/campaign builder)
-Pokemon Yellow/Red/Green/Blue
Nice list! Also, what an interesting question. Replay value would have to be king but you'd also need a fair share of genre variety.
Mine would look like this:
-Civilization III
-Fallout
-Fallout: New Vegas
-Final Fantasy VIII
-Gran Turismo 5
-Half-Life
-L.A. Noire
-Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
-Demon's Souls
-Hitman: Blood Money
You've sold it to me, I now want to take these 10 to a desert island and get stuck in.
Great to see a few of the modern non-Sega games you've been playing SLX.
Episode idea: 10 games that should be blasted into space for aliens to discover.
Another great video brother!
Here's my top 10 deserted island list(this is assuming it's a *REAL* desserted island with NO internet access for online play).
1-Resident Evil 5: The Mercenaries
2-Assetto Corsa with mods
3-Ridge Racer 2 PSP
4-Skyrim w/mods
5-Fallot 3 w/mods
6-Dungeon Master PC DOS version (via DosBox)
7-Scud Race
8-Ms Pac-Man
9-OutRun 2SP DX (Lindbergh Hardware version)
10-Streets of Rage 4
It’s kinda funny, I saw the title to your video and my first thought was Skyrim. Watched the whole video and bang there it was. Great work as always Sega Lord.
For me, a list like this has to include a puzzle game. Something designed to be played over and over forever. My personal pick would be Peggle, but Tetris, Bust-A-Move or Hexcells would be great as well.
Mine would be Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo.
My favorite retro gaming content creator. Your videos always teach me things I never contemplated before.
Glad to hear it! Thank you.
Dark Savior for sure, that game should have been named "Replay value, the game"!
When your first pick was road rash on 3do I knew this was going to be an interesting list. You did not disappoint.
Man, this is quite challenging. I think you hit a few really good choices. Here are mine (in no particular order):
1. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
2. Diablo 2
3. Fallout 4
4. Chrono Trigger
5. Warcraft 3
6. Mega Man 2
7. Marvel vs Capcom 2
8. Sonic 2
9. TIE Fighter
10. Sim City 2000 or The Sims
very nice, WC3 is really fucking good, another game that's good from that genre is Lord of the Rings: Battle For Middle Earth II, that has create a hero and loads or replay value.
FO4? Interesting…. Much prefer 3 & NV personally
@@GargantuanD same, FNV Modded all the way.
@@GargantuanD the settlement system is a big draw for me...
@@biostemm ah ok, fair enough mate.
Oh god good topic. Off the top of my head:
1- Gun (GC)
2- Mario RPG (SNES)
3- Road Rash (PS1)
4- Star Wars KOTOR (XB)
5- Actraiser (SNES)
6- Sonic 3D Blast (Saturn)
7- Goldeneye (Wii)
8- Battletoads/Double Dragon (Gen)
9- Moonwalker (Gen)
10- Star Trek TNG (Gen)
Just glad the new Xbox can do a lot of emulation
“On the gweeeen!” Excellent choices here, I’d be ok to be stranded on the same island as you.
Great video as always and really enjoyed seeing some more modern games that you enjoy too
That's definitely a good list! I'd def go on a desert island with those too.
If my dad was still alive I would show him Neo Turf Masters and it would be the first video game he would love to at least watch someone play, if not play himself.
major twist video. it confused my senses to see so much modern stuff! you really play a little bit of everything from every era.
Skies of Arcadia.
Dreamcast.
Long - Beautiful - Diverse.
SLX no clue how often you check your comments but I want you to know your the reason I learned how to repair my 32x and get a mega everdrive setup to explore all that sega has to offer in the 16 and 32 bit days. Thanks for the hours of fun ahead!!!!
Tekken 7, Soul Calibur 3. Ultra Street Fighter 4. Modern Warfare 3, UMVC3, Mortal Kombat 9, No More Heroes, Zuma 2. God so many. A bunch of KOFs.
I knew Dragon Force would be on your list as soon as I saw the video title. I wasn't disappointed! I'm not sure what my whole top 10 would be, but Dragon Force, Mario 64, Dark Cloud 2, Final Fantasy VI, and Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst would be on there.
Your videos are absolutely awesome! Big "feels like we woulda been buddies if we grew up together" energy! Keep it up Sega Lord!!!! Much love
God of war.grand theft auto san andreas.streets of rage 2.crash bandicoot.syphon filter.resistance fall of man.borderlands 2.contra hard corpse.sly cooper.grand theft auto vice city.word up son
damn that music at about 17:25 took me back. thanks slx
I think for me the #1 spot would be Minecraft. After all these years, I still find myself coming back to it regularly... it's like a favorite food you eat too much of, get sick of for a few months, then crave out of nowhere again and can't get enough until you're sick of it again for a while.
Great Topic!!!! Love this keep them coming!!!! Your channel is one of my Favs... We are close to the same age and lived during the golden age of gaming!!!
Here is my List.
Mario 64, Destiny 2, Halo CE, Doom(classic on the Jaguar), Diablo 2(New version just released its so good), Shenmue(it comes with some arcade games too!!!!!), Zelda Breath of the Wild, Sim City (Original), Roller Costar Tycoon (Original), & Gamemaker Studio 2 (Yes I develop my own games, I will send you a link of my first game for you to download for free when i am finished..You should download Gamemaker and go through some of the tutorials, super FUN!!! )...
Outrun 2: Iceman (Kimi), Katana and Tsunami oh and our best contender Bubbles ; ) You have to Love that 90's Edge! Cool!
Great vid. These are my picks:
1 OutRun 2
2 AOE 2
3 Broodwar
4 Solitaire (Win 98)
5 Doom (Original or Project Brutality)
6 Neo turf masters
7 Dr Mario
8 Tetris
9 Super Aleste
10 Phantasy star 2
I had Road Rash for 3DO growing up and once I got older I always imagined how great an online career mode would've been in that
Neo Turf Masters is my favorite Neo Geo game. Solid list, sir.
Illusion of Gaia (SNES).
Bucky O'Hare (NES).
Kid Chameleon (Sega Genesis).
The King of Fighters '95 (Neo Geo).
Out Run (Sega Saturn).
Virtua Fighter 2 (Sega Saturn).
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES).
Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES).
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns (PS2).
Virtual Pro Wrestling 2: Ōdō Keishō (N64).
-SOR 2
-Sonic 3 & Knucles (I know I'm kind of cheating here)
-WWE 2K20 (I know it's glitchy as crap even after the update, but I could play this game for years thanks to he customization feature)
-Pro Evolution Soccer (Latest version, and after patching everything)
-Mario 64 (Had not thought of that one until I saw your list)
-Real Bout Fatal Fury Special
-Super Street Fighter 2 (Genesis)
-StarCraft
-Arkham City
-Metroid Zero Mission (or Super Metroid)
10 are not enough, had to leave out the GOW games, GTA games, older wrestling games, MegaMan games, Shinobi games, TMNT games (Especially the Hyperstone Heist) and a bunch more...
This Intro Screams 90's Feeling!!! Best Time ever!!! Since the Millenium all is getting worse and worse... I think we already hit the PEAK!!!
Dragon Force!! Fuck yeah!!! It hurts my heart that there hasn't been a rerelease, or the sequel properly translated. I still go back to this game regularly!
One thing is for sure. I could never tire of playing Outrun, it's my favourite game of all time and return to it time after time. It is gaming perfection 👍
No mercy! Great choice Sir
First batch of games that come to mind:
Gate of Thunder
Lords of Thunder
Ys Book 1 and 2 (Chronicles)
Thunder Force 3
Redout
Super Metroid
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow
Donkey Kong Country 2
Panzer Dragoon
M.U.S.H.A.
Possible substitute depending on my mood: Mario Golf (N64)
A lot of these are among my favorite games, but some are cases of games that I just went back to and got a lot of value from.
Hard to pick 10, but 2 would be in there somewhere.
- Tetris (Gameboy)
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)
GTA: San Andreas (PS2), Thief: Deadly Shadows (Xbox), Deus Ex (PC), Burnout 3: Takedown (Xbox), Samurai Shodown 1 or 2 (Neo*Geo), Pin*Bot (NES), Bejeweled 3 (PC), Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusades (Xbox), Warlords (Atari 2600 [the original 4-player party game!]), Perfect Dark (N64 ... w/Xbox360 Clarity & FPS :D) As you can probably tell, I haven't kept up with gaming for a couple of generations now, but any and all of the above games are a guaranteed good time.
Including No Mercy earns a big thumbs up! I add Actraiser, Uplink (PC), Gothic 2 (PC), Morrowind , C&C Generals, Mass Effect 2 and Final Fantasy 3
Man, Dragon Force looks fantastic! I would love a modern release of it somehow. Prices for a physical of the original Saturn release are quite insane!
Sega keeps re-releasing Genesis games, but I hope they finally acknowledge the Saturn again and start re-releasing some of those titles!
They did it with the Saturn Cotton game, the hackers found out that it had a Saturn emulator for Switch that ran several games much better than the game it was made for.
- Mario 64
- Zelda Between Worlds
- Final Fantasy 9
- Shining Force 2
- Castlevania Symphony of the night
- Suikoden 2
- Grandia 1
- Mario Kart 8
- Age of Empires 2 DE
- Bayonetta 2
- Tetris DX (GBC)
- Burnout 3: Takedown (Xbox)
- Donkey Kong (arcade)
- Bosconian (arcade)
- Dig Dug (arcade)
- Bubble Bobble (arcade)
- Fallout: New Vegas (Xbox)
- Doom 2016 (PS4)
Also, people tell me Stardew Valley is a humongous, enjoyable time sink, but I have yet to start playing that one, so can't say for sure.
This was a great list and could easily be mine as well. I'd only make one change - I'd swap OutRun 2 for Gran Turismo 2. For all the great reasons you listed about OutRun's relaxation factor I feel the same for the sim style of GT2. I also have a fondness for the cars released around that time.
Problem with GT2 is it doesn't really have that many race events. There are some mods that fix this issue though. And I agree, my favorite car roster from any racing game.
That soundtrack too. Those songs used to get stuck in my head for days.
@@rudyelliott5857 yes, the soundtrack was excellent! Garbage and Soul Coughing come to mind.
Always liked this question. Never went 10 before. I also like to iterate no compilations or online games.
1: Chrono Trigger. My comfort food. Just have to play it every so often.
2: Fallout 4. I was late to the franchise and pick this one because I could build settlements for hrs when not playing the story.
3: SSX 3. Partly a nostalgic pick as so many great memories with my late wife.
4: Hot Shots Golf… let’s say 3 for same reasons as above.
5: WWE 2K14. Could pick a few different ones here (including No Mercy), but loved the Wrestlemania Mode and might have had my most favourite created roster.
6: NHL 22. Need a hockey game and skipped this year so why not🙂
7: Super Street Fighter II. Could be just about any SF, but this one holds a special place with me.
8: Legend of Zelda : Link to the Past. Who doesn’t like going back to this one?!?
9: Red Dead Redemption 2. Because I haven’t died in yet😅
10: Persona 5 Royal. Another big game to eat up lots of time. And can just go to school when start going crazy! 😅
- Super Mario All Stars (not a compilation, but a full remake release)
- NBA Live 96 (Genesis)
- Civilization 4
- Crusader Kings II
- Baldur's Gate II
- Heroes of Might and Magic IV
- Hades
- Witcher 3
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Picross DS, to go potty
I asume I won't have internet on a desert island so, no multiplayer, but electricity for some reason xD
Let's see...
- cannon fodder
- dune 2
- first quake
- diablo 2
- first soul calibur
- wip3out
- Kerbal space program
Man I need a very big hard drive for that damned island!
SLX, I have suggested this too many TH-camrs, my take was: you can only play one game from each of the classic consoles, what would they be?
My examples:
Atari 2600: Adventure
Intellivision: Utopia
SMS: Rastan
Genesis: Strider
Saturn: Magic Carpet
Dreamcast: Quake III Arena
Xbox: Halo Combat Evolved
... etc
Ah, the classic "desert island games" scenario. This is always a fun one, so here are my ten:
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2: I love this game's story and characters, but it also offers a vast open world, hundreds of side quests, and the randomized Blade system can change your playthrough everytime. On top of that,it has a New Game Plus mode with exclusive content.
- Final Fantasy VI: Another favorite story, it also features tons of possible party combinations and a huge amount customization possibilities
- Pokemon HeartGold: Pokemon is the king of replayability, and while almost any main series game could go here, HG's Battle Frontier facility pushes it over the edge
- Mario Kart DS: A quick race of Mario Kart is always refreshing, and the extensive Mission Mode exclusive to this game is a treat.
- Tales of Symphonia: Another RPG favorite, the game's affection system with fellow party members can change several minor scenes and even parts of the story on repeat playthroughs
- Disgaea 1 Complete: Almost any Disgaea game could go here. You can grind, customize and min-max your units to absurdity, and the Item World randomized dungeon can create endless challenges.
- Castlevania Symphony of the Night: Specifically, I would go for the newer version on PSP/PS4, so Richter and Maria would both be available as additional playthroughs.
- Capcom vs SNK 2: Not only does it have tons of fighters and Grooves to learn and master, but the soundtrack is worth listening to all on its own.
- Yu-Gi-Oh Legacy of the Duelist: I love TCG video games, and Yu-Gi-Oh is one of my favorites. This one has story modes for all of the TV shows, special challenge modes and thousands of cards to build your deck with
- Persona 4: Like Symphonia, your actions and character relationships can heavily affect your playthrough, and New Game Plus lets you carry over stats and Personas unlocked
Great list! you seem to belong to my generation 😄
I would probably be too busy living the desert island life for gaming, but if I did, I would probably take Ninja Kiwi's Bloons TD 5, Bejeweled 3, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong 1, 2, 3, Returns, and Tropical Freeze.
Quite a diverse list of games. So I have to confess that although I love Mario 64, I couldn't imagine making it one of 10 games to basically play forever. Mario 64 even has tons of replayability, but it's also a game I've played to death. I guess if I tried to perfect speed running it... but, nah, there are some games I've played too much and can only return to them once every so many years.
I'll throw 10 out there that I could play repeatedly:
Road Rash - Genesis
Metroid - NES
Tecmo Bowl - NES
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! - NES
Doom - PC
Final Fight - Arcade
Street Fighter II - Arcade
Tetris - Gameboy or NES
NBA Street 2 - Gamecube, PS2 or XBox
WWF No Mercy - N64
Cheers!
Solid list. I would likely opt for games that have tons of content and exploring as well. But also games that reward skill so it doesn't feel tedious.
Perhaps Forza Horizon 4, Skyrim, Zelda BotW, etc. Definitely some variety would be needed. I don't play many sims but I would want something that allows for creativity.
First time commenter been a huge fan of your content awhile dude, my desert island games would be those with create modes. Minecraft and Terraria would be easy pics, Tony Hawk games with the level editor and soundtracks, and of course Mario Maker. So if your stuck on that island without rum you can make your own fun
Great topic! My list
1. N64 Worms Armageddon
2. N64 Mario Kart 64
3. Xbox 360 Arcade Hydro Thunder Hurricane
4. Wii Mario Galaxy
5. Genesis Mega Bomberman
6. PS1 Board Game Top Shop
7. PS2 GTA San Andreas
8. TG16 CD Vasteel
9. Xbox 360 Halo Reach (not for the campaign)
10. Neo Geo Neo Turf Master
My top 10 would be:
Shining Force (GBA)
Shining Force 2
Shining Force 3
Lunar SSSC
Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005)
GTA V
Sonic and All Star Racing Transformed
Minecraft
Brigandine (The Legend of Forsena)
Resident Evil 4
Nice to see some more love for Shining Force and Lunar in these comments.
I am glad someone explained my love of MGSV the game has 100 of hour of game play and lot of variety... you have 100 of weapons at your disposal and can approach a problem different ways the base development and raiding of other people installations add rpg elements and their at least 60+ hours of lore of the universe from the cassette tapes given to you or found in the game....it gives you so much... I played 200 hours and still only have a 75 percent completion rate. .. people get hung up on their being no third act but the second act is a resolution of several plot elements
My desert island game list: Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Mania, Fallout: New Vegas, Ocarina of Time, A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Freelancer, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Diablo II, Brave Fencer Musashi, Virtua Racing Deluxe, Diddy Kong Racing, Super Mario World, the Xenosaga trilogy, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Banjo-Kazooie, Daytona USA, Mario Kart 64, Mega Man X, Shinobi III, Task Force Harrier EX, Einhänder, Fighting Vipers, Oblivion, Skyrim, Unreal, Unreal 2, Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake III Arena, SimCity 4, Age of Empires II, Rise of Nations, Empire Earth, Super Mario 64, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario All-Stars, Gun, Killer Instinct Gold, Halo 1-2, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Super Castlevania IV
My list of games with endless replay value: Shining Force 2, Toe Jam & Earl, Shadow Dancer, Streets of Rage 1 and 2, Sonic 2, Shinobi 3, Rolling Thunder 2, Bonanza Bros., Monster World IV, Castle of Illusion, Golden Axe, General Chaos, Gunstar Heroes, Shining Force (all of them for Sega Genesis, and there are many others on the console)
My #1 is Little Big Planet 2 for sure. If you ever run out of things to play, then you can literally just make more.
A Golf game....as a top game? That's pretty unique I'd say.
The problem with the recent games you picked is that some would require internet to play due to its DRM policies. Same apply to Steam/EGS games... Or you could take some old games on GOG ( As of now, they dont enforce DRM )
Other that, good selection of games.
Every Christmas i play the Shenmue Games on Dreamcast and PC. This was and still is my Wet Dream the all time Champion F.R.E.E by Legendary Yu Suzuki and SEGA
F-zero, dead or alive 2, virtua fighter2,sega rally, mario bros, tetris,castlevania 3, gears of war 3,halowars2,diablo 2, those are my picks, lotta variety but I absolutely love all these games, thanks for that SLX,your show is always the shit bro,keep good stuff coming ,
LOVED this video idea my friend.
My ten:
Shining Force III
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Shadow Hearts
Shadow Hearts II
Sakura Wars 3
Skies of Arcadia
Trails in the Sky: SC
Trails in the Sky: The 3rd
Trails from Zero
Trails to Azure
you are 2 games over if you want to play all of Shining Force 3, 3 games over if you want the bonus battles lol
Great list but it does seem odd to have 2 of the 3 trails in the sky games
Somehow I thought this was literally going to be your favorite games, that are about being stranded on an island
I get burned out on the same game, music, food, job, neighborhood… it’s hard to think of what games could stand the test of time for me. However, I have some:
•Escape Velocity: Nova
•Marathon: Infinity
•StarCraft II
•Civilization V
•Virtua Tennis
•Burnout III: Takedown
•Halo 3
•Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
•Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
•???
Why these games (and only 9)? Well, these are games that I feel like I already HAVE been playing and replaying for a long time, gave me really great entertainment that sequels and competitors merely try to live up to, and refuse to get worn out.
If you’ve never played EV: Nova… it’s essentially the perfect laptop game. The game saves every time you land your spaceship on a planet (which you might do a few times a minute), and you can pick up and play for as short or long a session as you desire. Great, near novel-quality writing and 8 storylines to follow, plus side missions and little secrets that unlock side missions and more flavor, plus it’s just fun to made tons of money as a trader, raiding pirates to capture the ultimate ship, and customizing your ship’s performance and armament. The core gameplay of 2D spaceships with thrust and inertia was cool in a simple and accessible yet satisfying and tense way. This game came with me through the lifetime of 5 computers, and I would still play it today if the developers hadn’t gone out of business and modern operating systems were backwards compatible.
Marathon Infinity has similar charm as the sprite-based DOOM series, but more mature with an unsettling dark Sci-Fi atmosphere, intricate and multi-path story that branches alternate universes and has some levels just for acknowledging the meta of you trying to find your way and overcome, plus it comes with Anvil and Forge… and just like the later Bungie games that had their own versions of Forge, these were tools supplied for making your own levels (which many people did, including total conversions).
StarCraft II also has an editor and an online arcade with tons of game variants, but honestly I love the base game and multiplayer. It’s almost like therapeutic weight-training for people with ADHD, being very stimulating but encouraging you to get better at multitasking, and multiplayer would be important to keep the game fresh and to keep me from being too lonely on a hypothetical desert island 😉
I’m not sure which Civ game to put here, so I just put the last one I bought. Honestly, I only played the Civ Revolution game for smartphones (iOS), but I played the ever loving crap out of it for years until the developer added bugs and then stopped updating it, and Apple dropped compatibility for it. Still, I’m sure that “just one more turn” and addictive nature translates to the PC version of Civ V, and it would be fresh for me to play at first but much deeper in gameplay once I get into it. Weird to list a game I haven’t actually played on my list, but it still feels like an appropriate choice for the scenario.
Virtua Tennis. A glorified but beautiful Pong? Well, this game certainly was deeper than Pong, but a sports game like this has a fun gameplay loop and you don’t have to worry about already knowing the plot twists of a story or having played through the whole thing already. Super great for couch-coop (hopefully I have or can make friends on this island, right?), also there is a neat career mode if I wanted something longer form to sink my teeth into.
When “I” think about fun racing games that are all about speed, adrenaline, and addiction, first to mind is Burnout 3: Takedown. It can get pretty challenging, and the career mode seems to be never-ending, but the moment to moment gameplay of risking near misses for extra boost power, slamming rival cars into big crashes, and the beautiful and colorful courses and tons of cars have a lot of variety. The only things are that I wish the camera was a bit higher off the ground and looking down at the car just a bit more so I can see the cars in front of me (without switching to the dizzying first person view), and I’m burned out on pretty much all the music (I only liked 2-3 tracks in the first place, but even those I eventually heard too many times). Oh, and Crash mode was really fun!
Halo 3. Yeah, the story is linear, so you wouldn’t think this would have much replay ability, but you can track down several Easter eggs, find skulls that make the game harder or different, and also just mess around with the sandbox (warthog jumping, vehicle commandeering, rare dialogue, jumping to weird places and trying to break the game). It’s the most complete package FPS game I have played so far (in my opinion), and I need that genre in my life. The music is ACE. The gameplay is ACE. Multiplayer? There is couch co-op, and there was something about this game’s multiplayer that made it feel like a sport, also the skill based matchmaking made games feel competitive but fair, and taught me to be a better gamer. The value of other’s Forge creations cannot be understated, and it was also just a great social “place” to hang out. The community around Halo 3 could not be understated, and it sprung right back up when Halo 3 was re-released as part of the Master Chief collection (but I haven’t played MCC yet, only have the Xbox 360 release). Reach’s Forge mode was better, and I loved ODST’s music, but only Halo 3 did every aspect of the game at an A grade quality, and I think the colorful graphics stand the test of time better than the earlier games or the more “realistic” later games.
CoD4 was such a great game, I was able to play it so much that the younger Zoomers out there might call me a Boomer (even though the baby boomers were my parents generation???). This to me is all about the multiplayer, the right feel of gunplay, and the arena of maps that were just the right balance of action dense and giving you enough room to make escapes or big flanking plays (also, it was easy to tell where to go to fight enemies). The story is Great the first few times, and I played around with the score-keeping “arcade” modes and veteran difficulty, but campaign does get old because of the boring enemy AI and linear story. But that multiplayer… so addicting!
Metal Gear V. For all the same reasons Sega Lord X gave. I have been picking it up occasionally for three years, and I still haven’t beaten it yet. It’s just fun to mess around, capture high-ranking enemies to join your army and build up your base, stealth-neutralize enemy bases, discover weird stuff like making your horse poop to make enemy trucks crash, sand-sliding in your “tactical” boxes, or tranquilizing enemies by shooting their alert “!” marks. It’s a crazy deep game!
That’s 9 games. I don’t even know what else I would pick to retire with, off the top of my head. I LOVE games, but there’s been so many good games that have come out but I haven’t even played yet, which might fit into this challenge well. Skyrim, X3: Terrain conflict, The Witcher 3, these are all must-play games that I own, but just like Civilization V I haven’t actually started playing them yet! In no small part, this is due to their highly addictive nature, and I’m sure I would get deeply sucked into them, possibly to unhealthy levels. That might be perfect for a “Desert Island 🏝 “ situation, though honestly we sort of had that kind of situation during the pandemic lockdown of 2020, and I spent that time diving into retro games I had missed before (SNES Classic and PS Classic), playing through the eerily prescient Death Stranding (also an amazing soundtrack!!!!), and feeding an addiction to the newer CoD: Modern Warfare and Warzone. Sometimes you need to break away from replaying addicting games so that you can play new games (and clear that backlog)!!!
