You're sent to an island to die. You can bring any video game, it has to be 90's. Put a short blurb about why you'd pick this game...

90's is remarked to be the awakening of video games. A lot of first and breakthroughs in that era...

Doom, and Doom II are obvious choices...but I dunno....How about...

Quake

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_(video_game)

Precursor and granddaddy to all FPS..(and even multiplayer)...If I had multiplayer on the island I'd be set...

Doom II and multiplayer as well, co-op 2 player via modem.

Id take Half Life, circa 98.

doom/doom2 + all the good wads (master levels, hell revealed, plutonia, evilution, memento mori, etc.). It should represent a few years of hardcore gaming

Good choice. Im a huge mega man fan. I actually made a tribute video the other day.

Anyways, it would have to be a choice between Command & Conquer - Red Alert or Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

Probably heroes as you get so much more out of that game.

Something with long extended replayability value

So I'd say Civilization 2

DoomI/II - simply love it and I'm making my own source port derivate.

Other than that...
Quake - multiplayer/style/tech
XCom
Fallout
Warcraft

Assuming an internt connection, I would take Ultima Online and subequently make life hell for other players. This really was the ultimate game for this sort of thing, and all of the following was possible:

*Beat and kill new players as soon as they reached the outskirts of town, stealing all of their possessions
*Join an RP server where you are supposed to 'act' like your character but instead just 'act' like an asshole
*Set up a portal to an isolated island and send confused players through it; have someone waiting to kill and loot them. When you died you became a ghost and these people's ghosts were trapped on the island forever unless they got a GM's help.
*Join a guild and steal their stuff, blackmailing them or selling it
*Duel someone but have a hidden friend stab them in the back
*Cast a spell to make yourself look like a hostile creature so that a player gets confused and attacks you; watch and laugh as town guards kill them
*Take up carpentry and build pianos on the spot to trap people in corners

Resident Evil 2. There was nothing like it. What's better then solving puzzles and blowing zombie heads off with a magnum?

games with puzzles are annoying straight shoot em ups are better

Any oldschool Castlevania fans? You should really check out the most recent game: Castlevania Lords Of Shadow for the 360 and Ps3 . Fantastic game.

Mortal Kombat was cool.

I need some help guys. I want to get some good old-school platformers for the xbox live arcade. Got ant suggestions? I was playing Crash Bandicoot with my nephew, and it brought back memories.

FUCK OFF CONSOLE DERP!!!

Win.
PC gaming has gone downhill with the advent of the new consoles, IMHO. All the good game developers started focusing on how much money they could make selling to kids with their Xbox's and PS3's.

It seems like years go by on PC with only a couple great games to show for it now days.
