I've fallen asleep when playing Final Fantasy VII a long time ago... (at least it was on the world map, and not like in the middle of a battle or anything...)
Also, when I played FF6 once, I accidentally hit Load State instead of Save State after getting into the World of Ruin and ended up back at the beginning of the Floating Continent... =/ ____________________ YouTube • DeviantArt |

I save games like pokemon twice before I'm actually confident enough to turn off the system.  |

| I don't pay too much attention to "proper" saving, but instead just try to save as often as possible/neccessary. Yes, even in games where saving takes forever, like in Vagrant Story. Many different save files are crucial in open games like Fallout 3 anyway, where it can be decisive, WHEN you saved last. Try to blow up ... uh, no spoilers, and it can be bad if you wanted to other things first if your auto-save got overwritten and you have neither quick nor regular save ready.
And the risk of losing a precious save due to a faulty (system) memory card block, power shortage or damaged hard disk is not as problematic as losing your term paper or work you did before on the computer (although you will backup crucial stuff like this anyway beforehand regularly on different media/places), but it can be very annoying indeed. Never had too many trouble here, even my old Lufia - Rise of the Sinistrals (in Germany just "Lufia", as the prequel never came out here) cartridge save with 97 hours and multiple clearances in the Ancient Dungeon still works. ____________________  |

My sister and I had a 3rd party Playstation memory card. For the first couple of years, it was ok. Then one day, it decided to flip out and somehow uncalibrate itself. We lost data from games we'd been playing off and on for years.  We were very sad that day. And then we cried a week later, when it decided to do it again. And then again. We stopped playing in-depth Playstation games after that. |

Originally posted by MajesticLight Dying battery... at least I would think so, as I remember my Saturn doing something similar after a few years, saying that it needed to reset the date/time and lost its saves. =/ ____________________ YouTube • DeviantArt |

04-18-10 03:58:33 PM Post #3119 I had a real Mew in Red, before I even knew anything about hacking, and came across a glitch trainer playing with Missingno. He used an attack that erased the save file. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Super Mario World also erased itself when I had 95 exits found. ____________________  why not? |

My Pokémon Red's save battery died a couple years ago, and now it won't even work correctly. My Blue and Crystal still work, however... but who knows for how much longer... (I think Crystal batteries are known to last longer than Gold or Silver ones... =D) ____________________ YouTube • DeviantArt |

Maybe something didn't get transferred between computers, or the paths weren't updated and really the data was still there. Damn modern programs putting some data in (My) Documents or wherever rather that being nice and compact in 1 folder (if that happened, but some other programs have annoyed me with that so I can still bitch about it).
Especially switching between emulators that have the keys in different places.
