    save at any point

    OMGS that means you’re old enough, probably, to remember lying to your parents about not being at a save point so you just hafta keep playing a bit more…?

      I’m old enough to have had games with no save at all. 😂
      The original Zelda that could save your game was something out of the ordinary and a giant leap forward.

        Wow that’s going way back!

        It was a devastation kids these days will probably never know: Doing really, REALLY well on a game and it’s bedtime, “NO EXCUSES!”

        So you reach out and turn it off, knowing that the zenith of your life was just crushed by your uncaring “caregiver(s)”… 😂🤣😂

        I was mad at my mom for a week because I was doing amazing at “Pitfall” and…she sent my dad in (after her 3rd warning mind you)!

          And before owning a console for your self you rented one from the video rental place. So you had to play focused and not waste time on things like eating or your parents wanting to watch the news since we of course only had the one tv 😂
