If you were stranded on a island and could only have 1 console (and the island happened to have a tv and a spare electrical socket)

Which console would you take with you and which 5 games?

To be honest i am trying to figure out what games i must have in my collection :)

In my case I am split between my Gameboy (pointless TV) and Mega Drive.

Gameboy:

Zelda - Links Awakening
Super Mario Land 2
Lemmings
Super Mario Land
Tetris

Mega Drive:

Sonic 2,3+Knuckles
Streets of Rage 2
Toe Jam & Earl

In similar posts on other sites it has been either the Intellivision or the original Nintendo. My tastes have really changed in the last couple of years. Now I pick the Sony PSP handheld.

PSP
EA Replay - My favorites on the UMD are all three Road Rash games, Desert Strike and Ultima: The Black Gate

Sid Meier's Pirates - It is the same as the PC, Xbox 360 and Wii versions but has a few extras that make it worth playing.

Taito Legends Power-Up - Balloon Bomber, Elevator Action, Qix, Phoenix and Space Invaders are a few games to keep you busy.

Still looking for the PSP Activision's 2600 Greatest Hits and a good football game would round out my top 5.

I'm ready for that Island! Wonder if other video game tastes have changed?

The PSP is not a bad choice because of all the retro games you can play on it.  :)

Correct!  :4:

DreamcastRIP

Does the island have Wi-Fi?  :4:

If not I'd probably take a Caanoo with a large capacity memory card full of illegally pirated game ROMs on account of the island not having a police force, lol.
