Know of any games that use or acknowledge another game’s memory data (sequel or otherwise)? Most obvious example is Psycho Mantis.

If you want to be that butthurt about it...

>>4743085
Another game series that shares data is the SD Gundam Generations series for the Super Famicom. You can play characters from the other games by plugging in both cartridges.
How? The first game comes with an adapter called the Sufami Turbo, into which you can plug in the much smaller game cartridge. You can play the game in slot one, while using save data from slot two.
There are other games for that accessory which can share save data, but they're more like linking two Gameboys with Pokémon.

This is pretty nuts.
Which reminds me, Super Robot Wars F and F Final also share the same file save. You can play Final without having played F first, but if you have an F save, you can carry on your units.
I played it on Saturn but it's also on PS.

No one's mentioned Banjo Kazooie/Tooie yet, which is surprising. I think Christmas NiGHTs may have made use of a normal NiGHTs save file in some manner as well.
>>4743197
Wiz 1-3 also had party import features as well, I believe. Wizardry 4 might have had one as well except the party would be enemies, not playables.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 1 18:33:52 2018 No.4745978 >>4745693 I remember that after a certain n64 board revision you couldn't do the trick with the banjo games anymore so some people probably never even had the chance.

Probably because this sort of thing was impossible on system without memory cards, and not every 5th Gen game needed them. So, the only answers you'll get are 5th Gen and beyond, or PC games that are installed on the hard drive (ie. early to mid nineties).
If you are excluding 6th Gen from /vr/, then we've basically named every single one already.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 3 12:25:31 2018 No.4749315 >>4749301 >installed on the hard drive (ie. early to mid nineties) Floppies worked just as well for that purpose.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 3 12:28:24 2018 No.4749320 >>4749315 In theory, but 'please insert the old game into drive A:' might generate enough calls to tech support to keep too many games from doing it. I'm sure someone will provide an example, though.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 3 12:31:02 2018 No.4749330 >>4749320 Wizardry has already been named. An interesting case is Bard's Tale which offered imports from Wiz and Ultima 3.

It's on topic for the thread, but (presumably) off topic for the board. Maybe this discussion is more appropriate for /v/? They probably won't spaz out if someone mentions the NES and GameCube in the same discussion.

To get back on-topic...
In the Playstation port of Shin Megami Tensei If, you can get stat bonuses for having save games from other Atlus games (like Persona 1 or 2).
Also surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but the SimCity games will load data from older games. This actually works all the way through The Sims 2, if you take the time to upgrade through several games.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 3 14:14:58 2018 No.4749484 >>4749330 I knew the Ultima games chained with each other, but didn't realize that Bard's Tale read those saves as well. That's pretty cool.
