If you were stuck somewhere for an extended period of time. What system and three games would you want to have with you. You can have only one system and your choice of three games.
I would have to say the PS2 for my system.
My three games would be:
1: Grand Theft Auto : Vice City
Just for the size and openess of the games, plus the sound track would fill some music needs.
2:NHL 2K5
Gota have a sports title and hockey is my fav sport ( bleeding orange and black as i do GO FLYERS!!! )
3: God of War
I'm a sucker for Greek mythology and can play this game anyday. Plus the game plays more like an interactive Clash of the titans so it would give me a story to follow.
I could have picked other titles but these would satisfy me for quite a while. What would you choose????

Good question. I'd take 3 games I havn't played much lately.
I've got alot of DreamCast games to play.
I've been very good with myself, there is a Power Stone 2 in GameStation for £8, and I'm not buying it! I'll wait till its cheaper. Its been so long since I had it for my cast, that I could play it for the whole time!
And Shenmue 1. I recently played through my DC copy of Shenmue 2 and remembered how much I loved it, and now want to play Shenmue, maybe only for the 79 person fight!
Finally, I can play Tony Hawks 2 for hours. Its so much fun, and as pkup said, the music is also needed.
My PS2. Theres some game I could play almost forever.
1st KOF 2003. I'm just addicted to it.
2nd GTA SAN AN So much random crap to do you'll be fine for months.
3rd Disgaea. Unlimited replay value here.

I would have my Playstation 2.
The three games I would choose:
1. Tekken 5- Still having fun with it. So many characters, and so many new moves to learn.
2. Ace Combat 4- I just love this game to death. Great graphics, and great sound. Epecially with a home theater system.
3. Star Wars Battlefront- Just picked this up a couple of days ago. It's like playing the movies. Great battles.

I guess I'd have to go with the PS2 and the following games:
1. Sonic Mega Collection Plus (mwaha)
2. Parappa The Rapper 2 (I love the music in it so so much)
3. DDR Extreme (I guess I'd be bringing a chipped PS2 along with me then :P)

It really depends on how long you'd be stuck in that room.
If it was days then I'd need something a little more substantial, like my GC and Res 4, and a couple more.
But if it was only for a day or less then I could definately get away with only my GBA SP or my DS and Mario Advance 4, SM 64 DS and 1 other.

If this room had a cable connection...
Playstation 2
SOCOM 1 (online, before cheaters)
Final Fantasy XI (eventhough I quit, it would be a good time waster)
Final Fantasy 7 (I can easily play this many times through)

I would have a PS2 with GTA: San Andreas, a good basketball game and Tetris Plus. These would give me many months of playing time especially the basketball game. I would just play an entire season.

but this time its a room ;)
as many times as this topic come up its always fun to post in it. I don't think my choices have changed much. I'll check out those other threads in a bit to see what I said back then.
I pick the NES (i have to because I need my all time favorite game)
Tecmo Super Bowl
I've been playing it almost every month since it came out so if i haven't gotten tired of it by now I doubt being a locked in a room would change anything.
Since I have a NES and I get two more games I go with:
Wall Street Kid
River City Ransom
I also play both those games all the time so I doubt I'd get bored of them. In fact i can think of a couple of months were those were the only games I played.

I'd have a Super NES with me and the three games would be: Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and Super Mario RPG.
After much deliberation, I would choose my........GameCube.
1) Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2 Plus.....I've been playing PSO for the past 5 years and this is the best version yet.
2) Mario Golf Toadstool Tour.....golf games can last forever and the engine of this one is awesome.
3) R: Racing Evolution.....it's Namco, it's got massive depth, it's beautiful, it's fun and addictive. Gotta have a racer.

I think I would go with a Nintendo 64.
The three games would be:
Super Mario 64
Goldeneye 007
Starfox 64
I think these would keep me busy for a very loooong time!

I would have to say my Sega Genesis. The three games would be M.U.S.H.A., Gunstar Heroes, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

I would pick a Sega CDX and the three following games:
Dark Wizzard
Shining Force CD
Master of Monsters
That should hold me over for a couple of hours!

Xbox
DOOM 3 (Crazy fun Live CoOp anyone?)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (More Crazy fun Live CoOp... Anyone?)
Unreal Championship II: The Liandi Conflict (...Because it's better than Halo 2)

The first thought of when I read the topic was a really hot chick who'd be up for doing it several times per day.
But since this is about video games, I'll take my PS2. Gimme Final Fantasy VII, Gran Turismo 3, and maybe SSX (the first one). I'd be good for at least a month solid with those games.

I would take a Phantom because it's going to have 50,000 games preloaded into it at launch.

I would take a Phantom because it's going to have 50,000 games preloaded into it at launch.
I don't think that is allowed. I was thinking about saying a modded Xbox with a bunch of ROMs and emulators loaded, or a PC with the same, but then I'd be cheating (although I assume a compilation like Midway Arcade Treasures would count as a single game). Actually, a PC would be great, since I assume you could have Internet access. Would playing Flash games online or visiting the DP arcade be seen as cheating on the 3 games limit? What if you take the PC with 3 games into the locked room, and THEN download a bunch of ROMs? Or what about other entertainment like web browsing or movies and music? I don't know.
If it were a PC, after a video card upgrade I would take Sid Meier's Pirates (DVD edition with the original so I could play that too ;)), one of the Civilization games, and GTA:SA. Actually, I don't play PC games much, but I want that web browser and BitTorrent client. :)
If I have to take a console, it would be the Xbox with Pirates, GTA:SA, and a sports game with a deep franchise mode like a recent Madden.
I have to say that a locked room makes a lot more sense than a desert island. The desert island just brings up too many questions, like how you would have electricity and how you would protect your monitor from the elements, etc.

I'll say:
PS2:
GTA SA..Explore,cause havoc..maybe even start the game over-new save.
GTA Vice City
GTA III
Mainly those 3 because they are huge games with lots to do..
Other Ace Combat 5/God Of War
XBox:
Halo 2..Because I basically ran through it the first time around..
Full Spectrum Warrior or Brothers In Arms.
Toca Race Car Driver 2 because it aggravates me..and I could concentrate more if I just had this racer & stuck somewhere for an extended period of time.
But then again Burnout 3 might fill the spot instead.
.......................
If it was
Neo Geo MVS:
Neo Turf Masters.....I can't get enough of this game ..
Blazing Star
Samurai Shodown II..or V
