I'd choose Planescape.

Then, after the tenth replay, because I was bored, I'd fix all the bugs in it and restore all the cut content.

Then I'd get miraculously rescued by Greenpeace anti-whaling protesters. But their insipid pseudo-pagan proselytizing would force me to kill all of them with my laptop, breaking the hard drive, and then I'd have to redo everything from scratch once I got home.

Of course, killing the hippies would require me to keep quiet about the whole island thing, and I'd just pretend the whole thing never occurred to me until late April 2008.

Hypothetically, of course.

Wizardry IV. Both trying to escape and trying to beat Wizardry IV being pointless endeavors that lead into nothing but endless futility and frustration, at least when my skeleton was found, and the screen of Loktar's Luckys over my characters dead body would lead to an interesting Wikipedia addition to the games lore about it's difficulty.

In any case, in this scenario replay value is almost the only thing that counts. So Dwarf Fortress for me. And some hentai game.

Why not combine the two?

hentai dwarves? ::shudder::

EDIT: I'd bring notepad. It's the ultimate free-form RPG adventure

Hmm. Barren Wasteland. This rules out the Fallouts, cause I'd already have a LARP opportunity within arms' reach.

I think I would take some Roguelike, ADOM perhaps. Or maybe I would finally have the inclination to get into Dwarf Fortress?

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I'd probably get a fridge full of food and drink instead of a laptop. I'd rather have stuff to eat for a week than having a laptop with 3 hours battery power.
