PlayStation:
>Crash Bandicoot
>Need For Speed: High Stakes
>Spider-Man
>Winning Eleven 2002
>Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories

I almost went with Genesis, mainly because of Sonic, and because it also has a Spider-Man title I like, Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin, but Crash can fill the mascot platformer role pretty well too, racing and sports play a lot better on PlayStation to me, and Yu-Gi-Oh! really settled it. It was still a close call though.

I refuse to participate in shit threads like this because
1. No one replies anyway, these aren't "conversation starters". It's just 99% people talking into the wind.
2. I won't be arbitrarily limited to 5 games for no justifiable reason.

1. It's a thread for considering your answer, and for reading others. You don't really need to have someone reply to you with
>5-star post nigga!.art
to get something out of it.
2. Of course you won't, it's a thought exercise.
Bonus: You've just participated in it anyway.

>>11501421
>If you could only have 1 retro console and 5 games for it, what would you choose?
Xbox

>Dead Or Alive 3
>Star Wars Battlefront
>Stars Wars Knights Of The Old Republic
>Jet Set Radio Future

nothing fills the void of the fifth slot as far as I can think right now

OG Xbox
1. Fusion Frenzy
2. Shenmue II
3. ESPN NFL 2K5
4. Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams
5. Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack
Then I would set up all the emulators for the other consoles since OG Xbox is still the king in regards to /vr/ retro consoles for emulation.

It's not because people aren't going back and forth between replies, that it means we're not engaging with one another, just sharing our thoughts with one another, either like minded people or those that disagree.

>. It's a thread for considering your answer,
That's fucking stupid. There are far more than 5 indispensable games for my favorite systems. I will not arbitrarily limit myself to 5 of them, even in the context of just picking the "best" 5. Games are NOT SINGLE VARIABLE EQUATIONS. Get that through your head. They provide different mental/emotional states. You can't arbitrarily rank them according to a single metric and say "oh X is better than Y because I'm incapable of grasping the totality of what this experience offers me". And it's beyond foolish to say you only want to experience one or another particular emotional states for the rest of your life. That isn't how existence works.

>Bonus: You've just participated in it anyway.
If that was supposed to be some "epic gotcha" you failed. Yes, I participated by showing what a narrowminded non-thinking sham your system is.

NTA but I think you're overreacting, anon. This is just a standard "If you were standed on an island and..." sort of thread, it's not uncommon to see and there's nothing wrong with it, even if there's no real back and forth, just seeing people's choices, especially less popular ones, is interesting, seeing how titles most see as mediocre or shovelware can actually mean a lot to someone out there. Also, we get some funny posts too, like this one (>>11505662).

I considered Shenmue II but I would really have rather had a more straightforward life sim
>>
>>11513827
you can have good multiplayer with Guitar Hero II and Star Wars Battlefront

same can't be said for the SNES titles, right?

i picked my list mostly on the basis of playing with other people, minimizing singleplayer to absolute essentials / standouts
