You've been shipwrecked on an uninhabited tropical island, in uncharted waters, no hope of rescue, EVER.

The only good thing in your favour is a plentiful supply of locally grown produce to live off, decent living accomodation, and, amazingly enough, a 240v powersupply, Sony Wega 32" Widescreen T.V. and an unlimited supply of Pringles.

One day, a crate washes up on the shore. You see a 'Documents Enclosed' envelope on the side, and eagerly ripping it open you see the words:

"Enclosed is your new console and your one game, we wish you many hours of pleasure."

Considering that this game has to last you the rest of your natural life, and the chances of another crate washing up in the same manner are zero, which console and game do you most hope is in that crate? And why?

If i had to choose a console it would be the PS2 with FFX. (i've been reading reviews - sounds fantastic)

But i would prefer a PC with either Championship Manager (endless replay value) or the Sims (to create my own little family - when i first bought it i played on it loads and even had a dream about my Sims family once. Weird!!!)

I'd have to go for PSX and Final Fantasy VII.

Reason being is that for an RPG, it's huge, and there's the unlimited exploring potential, the nearly limitless battle combinations using different materia in your weapons and different team members, and there's so much to do (not to mention trying to beat your high score on the snowboarding section, all the sub-quests, raising all the different types of Chocobo and racing them and so on).

Plus, of course, it's a very happy ending, one that always leaves you with a feeling that no matter what the future will carry on regardless.

It would have to be an Amiga and Sensi World Of Soccer.

No signal flare's Sheepy! Anyway, the island's deserted! Consider yourself to be Robinson Crusoe and hope that Friday comes along to save the day (and that Friday is female!)
