Think I'd go with:
Fire Pro Returns (PS2)
Perfect Dark (N64)
Super Mario World (Super Nintendo)
Those three really stand out to me. I'd have to think about two more.

8/16 bit > Now.
I'd rather we never have exited the 16 bit era. MUCH more fun back then.

PS1/N64/Dreamcast is the era we should have never left.
Only 5 games? I'd have to think about that.

It's not all about graphics Dmac.
It's not all about graphics Dmac.
Not to mention, I feel graphics in the 16 bit era were actually better.
I'm not saying there aren't good games today, but if I listed my top 50 games, I'm pretty sure at least 75% would from the 16-bit or 8-bit era. I just have more fun with those games. And I still do to this day.

I know there's fond memories but let's be serious here.
I play more 8/16-bit games and SIMILAR games (in their style) than I play "current" games.
It's not memories for me, it's the "now".

For variety sake I'd want 5 vastly different experience...
L4D XBox 360 since it's always fun to play with a friend and I think even when I'm old and decrepit I'll want to kill zombies.
Super Mario Bros SNES since it was always fun and looked awesome even by today's standards. Bright colors and fun gameplay...hooray.
No Mercy N64 Because it was the first game that really allowed you to deeply immerse yourself in the storyline. Also the create a wrestler and create a ppv modes were awesome.
Kingdom Hearts PS2 because it was fun to explore, fun to fight and just a nice piece of Disney nostalgia that I wouldn't mind playing indefinitely. I mean, c'mon, you get to fight with Donald Fucking Duck!
I'd have to pick GTA: San Andreas for the 5th game since it'd be nice to have a sandbox game with tons of mini-games (that suck) and missions (that are stupid) to fall back on if I ever got tired of just driving and flying all over the place.
Swiss Ultimate
10-18-2009, 02:35 PM
Super Mario 3
Super Mario World
Final Fantasy 7
Fire Pro Returns
World of Warcraft - I'm assuming I still get updates, since that's how the game works.
I think everyone with updates is almost cheating. lol.
I'd say if you're going to play 1 game the rest of your life if it changes and updates all the time it's almost like playing a new game every day. But, the restrictions weren't overly specific...oh well.
Well, if I can't have WoW (I don't play anymore, but I figured that was a loophole for fresh content) I'd probably take one of the Sim Cities. Probably 3kU.
Kalyx triaD
10-18-2009, 02:44 PM
With No Mercy's CAW and edit mode aren't you essentially updating the game?
You're not getting outside updates, though. It's what comes on the cart.
Kalyx triaD
10-18-2009, 02:52 PM
True, but a dedicated editor could turn No Mercy into No Mercy 2010. Some really have.
I just want any all music available for RB2. It would be the only music game I need.

I am surprised nobody's come out with a IPod Hero program yet. Like one of those cheap kid-games that you buy then hook up directly to the TV. I've seen a driving game, a baseball game and a bunch of other crap. You buy the device and then play a low-graphic game with it...etc.
If they did that with a guitar though, you could hook it up to your TV and then pop your mp3 player into the guitar and play whatever song you wanted to play. The graphics would of course be pretty weak, it'd probably look like a karaoke program.
Kalyx triaD
10-18-2009, 04:05 PM
How would the thing chart the songs though? I guess it would be similar to those games that generate objects by the tempo and sounds of music. There was this puzzle game that did that really well.

It's not all about graphics Dmac.
Yeah, but video games today offer more than just graphics. I mean, where would gaming be without Quick Time Events?
...Bad example.
But at least we have new control schemes, like the Sixxaxis and Na...Nevermind.
But hey, there's online chat, so you can hear the thirteen year old cocksucker who's teabagging your corpse...Okay, that was an even worse example. Unless you're thirteen and like men's balls on your mouth (Xero).
Seriously, though, generation arguments are some of the dumbest ones. I mean, the 8-bit era and even the 16 bit era managed to have some of the worst shovelware ever. Good games are good games, and there are a lot in almost any generation.
Anyway, assuming at the very least, I still have multiplayer:
Rock Band 2 (D-Bag may be pulling 3 out, but since it doesn't even exist yet....Also, I wouldn't say "all the updates," But I'd hope for some DLC, like maybe 25 choice songs)
Saints Row 2 (Online Co-Op is a blast...STILL.)
Tetris (This is seriously the one game I would never get sick of. At least, I haven't in 20 years)
Dynasty Warriors 3 (This is a tough one, because there are a fuckton of good games in the Warriors series...)
And this is probably jumping the gun a little, but SVR10. I know I could say No Mercy, but I want more features than NM provided.
Though it's funny everyones all over No Mercy's jock now that it's a retro title...TPWW was heavily slanted towards the contemporary Smackdown titles. I guess nostalgia changes everything...

Another loophole. Five games on one cart.
This opens up a lot of possibilities for stuff like the Sega Collection and whatnot.

Ugh didn't think I'd have to set up "rules" or whatever. But let's just say for arguments sake that you can't play collections, the games must be in their original form with no mods or updates (don't really care how WoW works, so fucking deal with it). Also, you can still play multiplayer and online multiplayer (assuming that there'll still be people playing current games online in years to come). I think that about covers it.
redoneja
10-19-2009, 06:19 PM
Basically 5 games the way they are out of the case that you would chose to answer the original question.
I still can only think of three. Probably add Street Fighter IV and Metal Gear Solid 3 to make it five though.

Only if it's Red Alert 2(Yuri's Revenge or not) or Zero Hour preferably with the Reborn mod. Only played like 2 games of multiplayer on every other C&C except for the first Red Alert.
