Imagine a hypothetical scenario where you have been put under house arrest for one year, your internet connection has been cut off and you are only allowed to have three games on your PC. What three games would you choose?

Groovy thread!

I reserve the right to come in and change these if I think of something better.

AOE 1 Gold
STARS!
NWN 1 Complete

Um...

Spellforce.

Drakensang.

LOTR Battle for Middle Earth.

Deus Ex
No One Lives Forever
Sid Meier's Gettysburg!

Man, the last thread gave us 20 games to pick from. How am I supposed to narrow it down to just three?

You mean 'a friend of yours' ..... you're among friends here, seriously what did you do again ? :o)

For me it would be :
One civ game (or fallen enchantress)
One tetris like ( I dig wetrix)
and one Age of Wonders or Eador (or sacrifice if Licurg is in charge of bringing me food)

edit: typo

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
Blood
Doom with the Brutal Doom mod

On a side note, if I was stranded on a desert island and only allowed to have three books, I'd probably die of exposure.

Morrowind (although I would substitute Oblivion if I had to)
Planescape: Torment (BG 2 is a good alternative)
X3 (Bridge Commander would be my alt)

hmmm.

Skyrim
Fallout New Vegas
The Guild 2: Renaissance

First two take me ages to complete, actually I haven't managed to finish either yet. I always get too involved in exploring and sidequests. Third is a game I could potentially just play forever, I love that sort of game.

I'm so stupid! DUH! Of course, one Tetris clone! Shit, one good Tetris clone and you wouldn't need the other two games.

Hmmm...

SMAX
MoO
...
Eador

Empire Earth.
Tetris Attack
And Fallout New Vegas.

NWN 1 complete

NWN 2 complete

and a Strategy game

Civilization II
Diablo II
Quake III Arena (do we get wi-fi?? :P)
