You are being sent to a tropical island for ten years. You are allowed to take one retro game system and the full library of that system. What do you take with you and why?

Honestly, if I was being sent to a (presumably) uninhabited tropical island for ten years, I'd take that time to learn some crafts and use my free time for personal reflection.
Though, in the downtime between that, always having the Gameboy light would be great to take around everywhere assuming I have batteries for it. Mainly for puzzle games to prevent me from going insane and keeping my mind fresh. As cheesy as it sounds and even though I'm not a religious person, having the king james bible for gameboy is at least some reading material.

This is tough. I think I'd have to say SNES. I didn't grow up with it (was a Genesis kid), but it has become my most played console. I was actually torn between the two and even a NES. I feel NES would be better for speedrunning, which I'm sure in 10 years you might try, but SNES usually have more detailed worlds to explore.

So, SNES is final answer I guess. Large enough library to have different experience, nice graphics that are more detailed than NES. You could have just about everything on an SD2SNES, not sure if flash carts are allowed, but either way, you'de have all games, just with SD2SNES you could enjoy some hacks and some higher quality music on the MSU-1.

Very good point. Honestly I've not read the bible fully, but there are some pretty intersting stories in there even if your not religious. It's kind of neat to imagine the things in a historical perspecive and researching the societies and their norms and customs back then. Some things don't make a ton of sense to us but would have made more sense in a historical perspective.

Gameboy Light would be good though, GBC if you could also play GB would be nice too. GBC had a few games with larger worlds, kind of fun to explore.
