Radiant Silvergun. It'd take ages to master it.

Wow! Great suggestions, all of them.

But hey, ".. bring whatever game comes with a gigantic steel file or steel chain cutter", that wouldn't really be of any use. Remember; "15 years of isolation in a place far away and deep under ground". - Let's think .. the small volcanic island of Corvo, out in the middle of the atlantic. If you'd manage to break out, you would see daylight for about 2 minutes before being eaten by a wild animal. You would probably enjoy the alternative of staying inside, safely behind thick bars, with a bed, a toilet, water, food, a roof, and your prefered game.

Or barbecued by the locals... nah they're not that wild. At Tristan da Cunha they eat outsiders alive.

Anyway I don't see how anyone wouldn't become sick of a game after playing it maybe every day for years without anything else to do.
Or we have to imagine an 'omnigame' including most genres and some kind of random-generating stuff / A.I.

Or, maybe something generic and very basic.

Like Galaga, or even Galaga '88.

There's not alot in that game besides shots and targets, and an occasional power-up. A pretty basic game that offers little more but improvement. Not much to go mad about.

Come on, Xyga - "barbecued by the locals...", really? Don't be so prejudiced. They eat you alive. Oh, I see you've already considered that.
