A gamers worst nightmare this. I remember it happened to be in Tomb Raider2 one time, I am still so angry that I won’t even talk about it.
Games today often have an option to save the game whenever you want. The latest example of this would be Red Faction. At first I loved the idea of being able to save your progress in a game wherever you want but there will be BIG consequences if you get it wrong.
Say you have done quite a lot of the game for today, and you think you should save it incase something or other happens. Nothing wrong with that idea there, infact it sounds quite clever. So you decide to save the game. Then you turn it of for the night. The next day you wake up early and you want to pick up where you last left off when suddenly you find that you have a boss to battle against. No problem you think, luckily I saved the game just before it. As you prepare for battle something terrible happens. You notice you only have 6 bullets left of your machine gun, and all the other guns are empty. What are you going to do? After the 124 unsuccessful attempt on trying to kill the boss you become aware that it is infact impossible, and therefor you have to start again all the way from the beginning of the game.
It is not a nice thing to happen, believe me and I was wondering if any of you experienced this before. Also, what could be done to prevent things like these from happening?

I did that on Conker's.
Usually PS2 games only give you the option to save one file, probably to stop things like that.

Personally this has never happened to me...wait in a way it has. When I borrowed my mates copy of FF legend on the GB I managed to get very far...further than him anyways. I got to a part where you had to climb a tower and fight every single boss that you had fought so far in the game, in a row. Unfortunately I had massive difficulty in this as I found that my characters were just not at high enough levels. Niether did I have enough money to buy better armour or weapons to do it....:(
yeah i know, save anywhere (great) you save then you die,then you load then you die.better make sure it's safe before you save.
HA HA! This happened to my friend in .... wait for it..... Conkers Poclet Tales on the GB. He had borrowed it off his little cousin to sewe what it is like. It is made by Rare after all. Before long (about a day) he was at the boss of the game then he had the exact same problem .. no ammo. He didn't mind much though as it was such an easy game.
:O)

Wuss.

No, I know how you feel. It's best to try and make loads of save files... I did that for Deus Ex, fortunatly, and it paid off.
I know it's hard with just a memory pack, but you can at least get three, can't you? And you only play one game at a time, so it should be possible.
Sorry if this sounds horrible, because I can't tell.
