If you were going to be stranded on a desert island, and for some reason you could bring 5 video games with their required hardware and means to power them, what would they be? No compilations or online multiplayer if you want to be a purist about it, but I’m still interested if you have thoughts about them :)

    One of them will have to be minesweeper because I can pretty much play it endlessly. The other 4, I’m not so sure. I love some of suggestions other people made.

      I’ve sunk many an hour into Simon Tatham’s no-guess Mines, yeah, as well as Slant and various other titles from his free puzzle collection. Try Inertia!

        This may be my favourite app ever!
        Any logic-puzzle fan should get this. Endless fun and immensly customizable. My latest obsession from it, is Unequal.
        Android version.
        It’s free, has no ads or in-app selling, Dark mode available, no time limits and many different kinds of puzzles. It is as brilliant as it is simple.

          How is it possible to solve levels on harder difficulties in games like Unequal and Towers without cheating or guessing? I’d wanna see you solve a Towers or Unequal game on any of the harder difficulties live.

            With Towers I do get stuck regularly, so then I take a guess on a tile when I have determined there are only 2 options left for that tile. I’m on 6x6 unreasonable mode. But easier modes were soluble without guessing, if memory serves me right…
            With Unequal I’m now playing the Adjacent 5x5 tricky mode, which is soluble without guessing or viewing the solution. Gonna try harder levels soon :)
