Screw the Desert Island: My Post-Apocalyptic Vault Picks

Everybody always talks about their “desert island” picks – you know, the whatever-certain-number of entertainment products you could take with you if you were gonna be stranded on a desert island. The implication, of course, being that these would be the only entertainment you’d have access to ever again, so you better pick something you really like.

This scenario doesn’t really hold water when you stop and think about it, especially when it comes to video games. Ignoring, for the moment, the fact that you’d have no idea you were about to be indefinitely marooned (and therefore have no reason to pack your ultimate entertainment package), there’s the little matter of electricity to consider.
