one time when i powered on my pokemon blue, i found that my character name had changed to my mother's.... i thought (or maybe hoped?) that it was a joke at first but then i just silently set down my gameboy and went to bed. haha. another time, my brother saved over one of the save files on my Dragon Warrior III game on the gameboy (why always the gameboy?!) just when i'd finally beaten Grandrgn and gotten the Rubiss Sword T-T. I was less courteous to him than I was to my mom.

Playstation 1. A friend of mine was really getting into the Final Fantasy series so I loaned him my PSX and copies of FF7-9. He played them all summer, but when he returned my PSX, he lost my memory card!! The memory card had ALL my game saves, which comprised almost exclusively RPGs (FF7-9, Vagrant Story, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Chrono Cross, Legend of Mana... yeah I'm a S-E fanboy, so sue me ) So I lost literally HUNDREDS of hours of gameplay!!!A couple years later I got an itch to replay the classics and replayed through EVERY SINGLE ONE of the above listed games!! I played them all to 100% completion, too, and used FAQs on my second time around to get rare weapons/summons/secrets I missed. As it turns out, I REALLY enjoyed replaying them!

The worst I've been through was dealing with an idiot I once called a friend.We were playing a game he brought over, I managed to get farther then him, so while I slept, he copied my game save on to his PS2 memory card and then deleted my memory card. I had a nearly full card, probably around 18 games or so.Not the reason he's not a friend anymore, the kid had some serious problems.

The worst case I have ever seen didn't happen to me, but to one of my good friends and SSBM rivals. We, along with a bunch of friends, were at his house messing around and while we were watching TV, two of the other kids somehow managed to delete his save data for Super Smash Bros. Melee. The kid had about 270 trophies, and had unlocked everything else. The two kids claimed they had no idea what happened, but boy was my friend furious! I thought he was going to explode. Since then, he's tried to regain his former glory, but sort of lost heart halfway through. I feel really bad for the kid. I mean, have you any idea how many hours it must have taken?My worst story (not that bad) was when I was playing Crash Bandicoot. The "Save" and "Load" options aren't where you normally would expect they'd be, so I accidentally, clicked "Save" instead of "Load" and it saved over my save data with a brand new game starting from the very beginning! I swear, they set that game up so shit like that would happen! Not intuitive at all. And it was after I had beat the game and was going back to get all the time trial trophies and other goodies. Since that incident, I haven't touched the game.
