![]() They're especially helpful in titles we’re playing for ‘historical’ value. Rewind features can be found in games as diverse as Forza Horizon 4 and the Mega Man Legacy Collection, and they're a godsend in modern times with so many games and so little time. We're seeing time-saving systems coming to more and more games, both old and new. All the NES games included with Nintendo Switch Online or the Classic Mini consoles have up to four 'suspend points' to use, and so they should. No developer would dream of re-releasing a classic title now without some concession to convenience. The obvious convenience of them still rubs up against my old-school sensibilities now and then, although it’s odd that I didn’t consider the guidebook or the save slots in the game itself to be ‘cheap’. This got me thinking about my instinctual reaction that save states are somehow a form of ‘cheating’. No, I was going to summit this peak without any of those 'cheap' aids! In my head I had to beat this game ‘properly’ or not at all and for a long time I’d seen save states as a easy way to cheat your way to victory. Traditionally I would have bristled at the idea of using a guide, but this one came with the game itself and that somehow legitimised it. So, feeling I had a score to settle, a few years ago I decided to go back and conquer it. The comparative complexity of the game coupled with my apathy meant I never got far, and over the years it grew in my mind as a mountain forever there, taunting me with its stupid save slots, primitive first-person dungeon sections and random encounters. I played it, of course – any video game is better than no video game – but an RPG wasn’t what I was after and I was a bit too young for it. Yes, the game boasted three save slots! That was impressive at the time, but hardly enough to excite a kid eager to hack and slash with a golden axe. He'd apparently been impressed by the label on the box advertising ‘5 MEGA MEMORY with battery backup’ and ‘106 PAGE HINT BOOK INCLUDED’. Unfortunately, my old man had bought Sword of Vermilion and my disappointment was impossible to hide. ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.Not exactly.
