Each issue, we ship game designers to sea on a rickety boat, then make ’em pick the three console games they’d want on their desert island. Now, we pester Peter Molyneux, whose Lionhead Studios is readying Stone Age adventure B.C. and epic RPG Fable. He cheats with one pick, but we let it slide.
Advance Wars (GBA)
“This [strategy] game would remind me of my last holiday when I spent all of the time on the beach playing it, occasionally glancing up to stare out to sea.”
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)
“I would also have to take Nintendo’s Ocarina of Time—as opposed to Wind Waker—as I think it still remains one of the most complete games ever made.”
Final Fantasy series
“Lastly and most cheekily, I’d have to take the entire Square Final Fantasy series, which I think would keep me going until either I was rescued or dead.”
