Did your game not have an option to copy your save to another slot, or make multiple saves?

It was Dragon's Curse for TG16 and had 3 save slots. There was no option to copy saves. I guess I could have loaded up save 1 and saved to DRAGON2 and DRAGON3 in the File Cabinet every time I wanted to save but man would that have been cumbersome.

One of my brothers erased my file in Sonic 3 & Knuckles and blamed it on my youngest brother. My youngest brother accepted responsibility despite not doing it and the two kept it a secret from me for 20 years.

My situation too. The only time I had to worry about this type of thing is when my girlfriend moved in with me. She liked Gex and there wasn't enough room to save, so FFVII had to go. I got her a memory card after that.

My older brother would accidentally save over my files sometimes. Still does when he plays one of my steam games with cloud saves.
Its why I make a checkmark save in slot 3/6/9 when I can. Because he's too daft to be that thorough and disciplined.

The thinking man understands and feels your pain.

You may now feel that your time that you invested in gameplay was a total waste. However, you have built up great practice and will find it easier in your quest to complete your game.

You are no longer the blunt pencil of a novice. But the proud sharpened pencil of an adept.

Keep at it anon. You can and will complete your game.

I lived next to a nice family at one point when I was maybe 8 or 9. One day they were over our house and I showed the brother Super Mario RPG. He didn't do anything obnoxious like erasing my saves, but he seemed completely incapable of playing the game. It was weird as shit. I didn't treat him badly for it, but it was super frustrating to watch. It wasn't just that he was having trouble understanding RPG basics, like he didn't seem able to understand how what he does on the controller is reflected by what's on the screen. Didn't have any discernible impairment otherwise, it was just straight-up mental deficiency. Fucking unreal.

You can always replay the game again if you really loved it or cheat your way like the idiot you seem to be.

It's kind of weird, but I didn't get RPGs until I was almost into my teens. Caslevania:SoTN was the prompt to dig back into other titles like FFVII and Wild Arms. I blame youth based "ADD".

When we were kids we would always share save files, making a new save file never occured to us, because we never cared about story but slowly when we started caring about story we sould tell each other what happened when he/me played.

[Anonymous No.4729712]

My older brother and I were given a rule that we can play the console for an hour before we have to give it up to the other, and either watch them play or find something else to do. I generally respected the rule, with the occasional "let me finish this level/race/match", my brother did not, he'd always find an excuse to keep on playing.

Well one day we were taking turns spending our sweet finite time with the games we had just rented from the video store, he got NBA Jam, I believe I got Donkey Kong Country.

He was playing NBA jam, and the hour was up, "oh but let me finish this match" he says, so I let him, because I would expect the same courtesy.

He finishes the match and starts another one, I call bullshit, he asks for one more, I begrudgingly allow it, he starts another one, and I call bullshit again, and this time I persist, he pretends not to hear me for a while, but he gets fed up, says "You want your turn? Here!" and he bashes me over the head with the SNES, cartridge first, breaking the cartridge.

I lose my shit, naturally. "shh shh don't tell mom don't tell mom"

Fucking dick head. I'm glad his life is in bad shape.

She was. She was very intelligent and well educated and instantly realized the hypocrisy of making me earn my own spending money while other kids were given an allowance but then not respecting my rights to the property I bought with that money. She took the opportunity to help us work out a deal where he did some menial tasks for me in exchange for game time and set my brother on the righteous path to respecting other peoples property and having a good work ethic at an early age.

If you were a minor you don't have property rights. This is why child actors emancipate themselves when they find their dirtbag parents can/are spending "their" money.
If your mom feels you weren't being treated fairly, I assure you, her solution was at her discretion, not because of your "rights to property."
Everything you have as a minor is considered property of your guardian and they really do have the legal right to revoke it as it is at best given to you in trust.
Kids are in charge of fuckall in their lives.

>under 18
Clearly. But you shouldn't admit it. Rule 2 and all.

>>4730437
Look out lads. We've got another underage armchair lawyer on our hands. Rights vary from place to place but in the US I don't think there's any state that doesn't allow a minor to own personal property. You'd be surprised what rights you have as a minor. And I mean that literally. You, clearly being a minor as demonstrated by your abundance of ignorance and confidence you know everything, would be surprised what rights you have.

[Anonymous No.4731038]

>>4730437
Armchair lawyer detected. The only property rights your parents have over your stuff is being able to restrict access. Trusts were created because of rampant theft that is difficult for a minor to prove or press charges against. It's not easy for a kid to take their parents to court on an emotional level, but when they do it's nothing but a desire to punish them.

>>4730885
Child labor laws only kick in during certain working conditions or after a certain amount of hours. Lemonade stands do get closed down depending on area as unequal enforcement of law is something you don't want to deal with when it comes up in court.
