My personal hell would be a small room with nothing but a ps1 and it's entire library of Japanese McGrind-a-thons.

I think Wild ARMs 2 and 3 handled random encounters perfectly. People who like grinding can fight all the chumps they please, everyone else can skip them (you get a certain amount of recharging skips against monsters within a few levels of you, and can skip low level monsters at no cost).
