And for retro games, emulators have left even that in the dustbin of time.
Sick of the last RPG save happening 20 minutes before a boss fight? Save at literally any moment with save states.
That too much work? You can rewind the entire game.

Remember the C64 cheat cartridge? Saved off your game / reloaded it whenever you wanted.
I wanted one so much, but I never got one 😔

Me either, but I would have wanted a Fast Load cartridge instead, but we couldn’t afford that either.

I sometimes wish manual save was a thing. Autosave is nice, but dont take away features please.
Like in expedition 33. I didnt realize you could only fight the last boss 1 time, so i went and did endgame after the story. Now i cant see the ending(s) without doing a full play through or watching someone else do it on youtube.
I started NG+ lol

That’s part of the horror in survival horror though. I liked that feature in Resident Evil, etc.
