You are going to work on a remote oil rig. You will be payed $500k USD for 18 months work. There will be no internet. There's is a room with every retro console. You can only take 6 games with you. What are you taking?
>>
>>11283261
Elite frontier
Outrun 2
Smash bros melee
Soul Calibur 2
Mgs2 subsistence

those are real-world options that actually happen
BUT,

>a familiar comfort game to zone out to
megaman x
>a longass game i can play/farm for days on end
tales of destiny 2 (usa)
>a fun multiplayer game
gekirindan (saturn)
>a game i want to play/practice

Well played. But the point of the scenario is "which 6 games will sustain you" not "maximising the amount of games you can take"
>>
RE1
MGS2
One of Tactics Ogre, FFT, or FFTA
Godhand
SMT If...
FFVII
>>11283271
Original Tetris, or just the pic you found first?
>>
>>11283261
When you guys ask this kind of question I'm always torn between picking my actual favorites or just a bunch of RPGs I have never even played because they are long, I don't really like RPGs though but what can you do
>>11283274
Well shit, then it's pic related for me
>>
>>11283261
I’m taking books, retard.
>>
>>11283283
Oh I didn't think about the 5 other collections so it's also
>All Stars+SMW
>Zelda WW promo
>Sonic Mega Collection plus
>Mega Drive collection (PSP)
>Mega Man X Anniversary Collection 1+2 (Switch)
>>
Sonic Adventure
Yoshi's Island

but anon, if you have 3 and THUG1 the rest are pointless.
>>
>>11283261
Is that what they're paying now? I considered it in my 20s. I think it was somewhere between 65-80k for a year though.
>>
>>11283284
but you can't read

I don't understand what people see in God Hand

>>11283276
I'd disagree. The question left that loophole open. I would have answered similarly. Trying to rein that in by appealing to 'the point behind the question' isn't very sensible.

Still, if that's what's asked, I'd probably pick 3-4 games with a pretty long runtime and fill the rest with games that you can essentially pop in whenever and have your fill for when you don't feel like grinding the free time away on a JRPG.

>>11283261
Are Old PCs allowed, i.e. machines with hardware specs/OS up until the cutoff-year for retro consoles?
>>
>>11283515
>if you have some of the worst games in the series the better ones are pointless
??
>>
>>11283604
Yes a PC which was state of the art for 2003 will be in the game room, but you can only bring six disc games to play on it.
>>
>>11283357
anthology is the superior compilation, but chrono trigger is one of my favorite jrpgs
>>
>>11283670
That is fine. At least I can bring like Might and Magic 6 or something

I'd take these.
>>
>>11283261
- Zelda Collector's Edition (Gamecube)
- Perfect Dark N64
- Morrowind (Xbox)
- Super Mario All Stars + World (SNES)
- Madden 2009 (PS2)
- Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)

But really, just Perfect Dark and Morrowind will be enough to stay busy for a long long time
>>
>>11283261
final fantasy x
shining force ii
metal gear solid 3: snake eater
resident evil 4
civilization ii
doom
>>
>>11284274
That Yugioh game is very hard.
>>
>>11284382
since when are collections the sane as games? op said 6 games, you little cheating bitch
>>
>>11283597
tye ability to say they ‘get’ a game that isn’t mainstream like god of war. spergs play bad games on purpose and can’t tell
>>
>>11284884
It really isn't. Its grindy and RNG Heavy, but if you get those cards and draw them before your respective opponent pulls out his top monsters, you'll win. The hardest part is remembering the fusion combinations and the guardian star relations, but even then you mostly need to remember how to make twin headed thunder dragons to pass the midgame and how to counter monster placed with sun to counter the Blue-eyes ultimate dragons for the endgame. The grinding component makes this game a good candidate to pass a long time on an oil rig however and it is reasonably fun at that.

>>11283261
I bring an enook reader loaded up with philosophy and get on the path to enlightenment

Maybe some sff too, for relaxing
>>
Super Mario Bros.
Football Manager 2010
Fire Pro Wrestling 2
Counter-Strike 1.6
Pro Evolution Soccer 6
Virtual Pool 3

18 months will pass like 18 minutes.
>>
>>11283271
Ikaruga and tetris are great picks. I mean they all are, but especially those 2. Infinite replayability. And dmc + godhand also have hella high skill ceilings. Mario world too if you get into doing speed play or no power up runs. And ff7 is just comfy. Good shit, anon.
>>
I would probably just bring my ibanez guitar along with some music theory and song books and just play guitar to relax.
>>
Spyro 1
Smash Bros Melee
Baldurs Gate
THUG 1
Anno 1602
Roller Coaster Tycoon

i like to use this as an exercise to see what i could really cut out, i'm trying to get down another 80 games for the genesis for a smooth 25 or so
>>
>>11283261
do i actually have to work on the oil rig if so fuck that my current job pays good enough
if i get to stay in the retro room all day I'll just take net yaroze and spend all 18 months making a ps1 game
>>
>>11285673
why aren’t you doing it now
>>
>>11285691
because i have a job
>>
>>11285692
why isn’t it your job to make video games?
>>
>>11285708
because nobody will pay me to do that
>>
>>11285723
sure they will, you probably didn’t even try
>>
>>11283276
I'd have to think about it.
I guess six of those Neptunia games, I hear they're some of the worst cases of grinding and busywork in the industry, so six of them should let me fast-forward down time enough to get through the shitty oil rig situation
