...the computer system has CivIV and and endless power source. You have no way to call for help. Around the ship is desert lands and all you find to eat are large crawling insects that taste like chicken but when you eat them you are disgusted. There is water but you have to walk 3 miles to use it.
So after a few weeks of playing CivIV, eating vile bugs and walking miles for water you decide to explore your world. You pack up some extra supplies and head off.
Hiking a few days you see an oasis with...another crashed space ship!!! You rush over to see if there is anyone but no, there isn't. The model ship is old, but you manage to fire up the computer. On it is Civ I, interesting thing long forgotten, a road or improvement makes the tile yours, not bad. So you decide to stay a while and play but eventually get bored and have a look around. There are small mammals about which taste pretty good and some birds that taste like chicken and aren't bugs, tolerable. Good place to be, but the Civ I doesn't satisfy your advanced tastes. So you pack up some dried meat and resume your wandering.
You walk for 2 weeks and the climate gets wetter. Indeed, you are heading into a swamp, you venture in wanting nothing more of it than to come out the other side in one piece. However in the middle where the jungle begins you find yet another wrecked ship! Nobody lives, but this ship has CivII. You go in, hang your clothes to dry in the hot, humid air and settle in for some civvin. Arrrrg! I forgot that one unit could kill a stack, I'm doomed! It's fun, but snakes make this their home as well. Creepy. You kill a couple and set their meat in an ancient bottle of vinagar that survived the crash and the years. One thing here, at least water is plentiful. Eventually though you've had much fun civvin, you decide to move on. Stocking up, you move off into the jungle. Tough going! You regret being so far from an inhabited world, good food, company, or just your own ship with the CivIV. Were the bugs so bad really? Yes they were. No place worth stopping you eat a piece of pickled snake on the march and curse this hostile country, sweat running down your body in rivers.
It's was a long slog through a wretched swamp and a jungle filled with vile slithering things but you made it. You break out from under the canopy onto a great sunny meadow. Tall grass waves in the breeze, patterns rushing here and there, butterflys soaring upon the gusts.
This is nice.
You don't have to walk far before you find a stream. You see to your joy various game animals in their plenty, could that be a pig? Something like. You dive and swim naked in the clean fresh waters. Your clothes are set in the stream to wash away the filth of the trail the memory of which now fading in the joy of salvation revealed. Then you see her, walking along the bank of the stream oblivious to your presence. Long blond hair, naked also, slim and heavy breasted, very fine. After watching a bit you pull on your wet pants, stand up and wave calling out. Hellooo! She's startled but unashamed. She takes you to her ship explaining she has been alone these years and dreaming of a man...
Three days later you flip on the computer and your perfect world comes crashing down. Civ III. The blond has zero interest in hiking through the swamp to live with you in the desert eating bugs or any other option thank you, and did you hurt your brain in the crash? The computers are part of their ship and cannot be removed, any method for the transfer of programs exists only in distant spaceports, the hard drives aren't compatable from one ship to the next. Screwing around would result in your living on a planet devoid of Civilization! ...what do you do?

If you can get civilized enough you can drag your broken spaceship just where you want it. Like Egypt building one of their columns.
