I've lost my game saves in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I went on holiday in the Phillipines, went to a game shop in SM and bought FFTA. I started playing straight away like the kid I was, and stopped and saved the game at Mc'ers. I got bored waiting, and I turned my GBA back on, but strangely I had no game saves to load. After trying it out and watching/playing the intro a mindless 6 times, I went back to the game store and got a replacement. I tried it out and it worked fine.
I got back to Australia and played through to the last level. When I saved and went back to play again, my game saves were gone. I didn't even touch FFTA for about half a year, I was so upset that I hid it in a deep corner of my wardrobe.

Well I was a kid, so it was probably a normal thing to hide stuff I didn't want. I didn't have the heart to throw away something my mum bought for me.

I also lost my game saves to Donkey Kong 64, but that was okay since I finished. The weird thing was that it just disappeared out of the blue. Well, I hadn't played my N64 much in about a year and a half, so it might've just been the age.

I've also had my little cousins save over my game files in Trauma Center recently, well I was a little pissed off but I was saved by the very thing that was my undoing in the beginning, saving without confirmation. I accidentally pressed another save slot only a couple levels back.

I'm sure some of you out there have shared some of my problems, it might even be a commonly shared case of stress between gamers. haha
Feel free to agonise and complain about it as much as you want

btw: never had the one where the power goes out while saving.

if your lost the saves on cartridges, it might have been the battery in them screwing up. cartridges save b/c of the battery in them keeps a little bit of ram with power to save your game, but usually they're supposed to last somewhere around 5-8 years

personally tho, i accidently saved over my file in FF7, only had to walk through the meteor to fight the last boss (that got me a little pissed)

The same but it wasn't me that saved the game. D:

When it first came out, I was almost at the end of Chrono Trigger on my first play through. I invited my friend over and he wanted to play it, so I let him start a new game and of course he accidently saved over mine.

I lost my saves (most of them were before the last boss) of Chrono Cross, FF7, FF8 and FF9, someone broke my memory card, I was really mad at him but I want to think it was an accident >:-(

And recently I was playing .hack//Fragment and the save screwed my whole memory card 😢 I dont what happened. I had the seven .hack games saves, FFX, DMC I II and III saves, Shin Megami tensei III. Persona III and digital devil sagas saves. Now I have to start again 😢

"Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."

I remember years ago when I had Pokemon Red I had like 147 Pokemon or something like that and I pretty much had the ultimate party, etc. Then of course I just had to loose my game saves on it...I never really bothered playing it again after that.

It's worse when your online characters get hacked. I remember playing Guild Wars when it first came out. Had several 20s, next day poof they were all stripped of gear and stuffs...

That happened to me as well on Pokemon Yellow, I had 148 Pokemon and was in the process of getting the last couple when one of my cousins started a new game and saved over my save 😢 .

I've got to burn your eyes.

Years ago my old ps1 memcard broke and all my hardwork at a couple rpg games (50+ hour * x games) gone...
Now i'm playing games on emulator so i can backup my save games regularly.

Hell yeah. On Pokemon red, I had EVERY SINGLE Pokemon(151)... Then I dropped it and it broke, and went all swaggly 😔

What sucks most of all is when your younger sibling is the one who does it. In this situation, you know who needs a snap kick to the face, but if you ever had parents like mine who treats the youngest like a baby, there's nothing you can do.

Yup Pokemon red. I had a level 76 Charizard and the rest were at an avg. of 28-32. This was my very first time through a pokemon game so i really didn't know what i was doing. My nephew dropped it while playing and all was lost. Couldn't even save games on that game anymore. Then there was this time when i brought my gameboy color to the philippines and my cousins wanted to play my games. They saved over my saved games. All of them. A very bad memory for me. That was probably the last time i even played a gameboy.

I lost my memory card that had save files to my games on FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFTactics, Suikoden, Suikoden 2 and Xenogears 😢

Nope.. not yet.

Actually, I did once, but that was my brother deleting it on purpose to make me really angry. And I blew up at him.

It's fun when your little cousins come over and save over you game files; which unlocking some characters or stuffs are pain in the ass. Super Smash Bro. Dynasty Warriors 5, other Fun packed RPG and Action games that takes a while to beat. So now I always 2 memory cards for my cousins and my self or just take out the Memory card.
