Neo Contra - Next-to-last stage features a kill-the-boss-before-the-timer-expires battle which if you pooch, leads to an instant, you-can't-even-continue-from-an-earlier-point Game Over. The first time I realized this I slammed the controller down on my leg hard enough to leave a bruise.
I also didn't take it well when the Saturn's internal memory failed and I lost my Puzzle Fighter data with everything unlocked. Internal battery saves are stupid, stupid, STUPID things. I also lost my very first PS memory card, home to all my FF7 saves, in a move. My sister's got some pretty agonizing stories of her own... Lunar:SSSC - Beat the final boss in a 40-minute bruiser, headed up the staircase, ignoring the warnings as she assumed it was scripted histrionics, and got toasted. Swore at the top of her lungs at 1:30 in the morning, and stayed up another hour-and-a-half to do it again. Breath of Fire 3 - Her near-end save with a prosperous fairy village was eaten by a rogue Suikoden save attempt. I go to the trouble of bringing her file back to where she was, but the fairy village is pitiful and she refuses to continue... Mario Kart: Double Dash - One of her favorite games ever, and her copy was masticated by her 1-year-old son, in much the same fashion as Shane did in the opening post. FFX-2 - Similar to Razakain's story, she was attempting to do 100% on the first try and realized in Chapter 4, she'd forgotten to place a Commsphere in a particular location in Chapter 3, robbing her of a tenth of a percentile (the official strategy guide, by the way, doesn't address this directly at any point in Chapter 3 or the appendices). I've since offered to return her to this point with a new game, but damn, it's slow going. Also, the Gamestop Gamecube memory card she got for buying the system there shit the bed after 10 months, destroying ALL her GC saves. She took it badly. By comparison, my luck isn't so bad. How ya doing, buddy? DAMN good coffee!
