I'd choose the PC, the only valid option for me, and if I could choose the preinstalled games, Wolfestein 3D, Duke Nukem 3D, Monkey Island, UFO Enemy Unknown, Doom and Lakers vs Celtics.
Only Solitaire is a boring option!

Re: island vacation
You told us in the first post that we do have an internet connection. It's slow, but what most of us lived with in the days of dial up.

Don't forget to put 3D Space Cadet Pinball on the PC as well.

V.22bis connects to the internet in French not English.

Re: island vacation
The PC seems the obvious choice as you can emulate everything else on it.
No need for internet, you just find someone in Hawaii with the emulators and files and serial link.

Do we have to load Windows ME from tape then?

Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Re: island vacation
I just managed a fortnight in Zakynthos filming Loggerhead Turtles and eating in some great (and one mediocre) restaurants without any of these. Admittedly I did get whacked for a data overrun on my phone but I think I could cope without games on a free holiday in Hawaii. All I'd really want is my battered old Panasonic FT-25, apnea mask and a monofin. OK, OK, and some shorts...
