We begged my dad to get us a Nintendo for Christmas. He's like I think we should get a VCR.

Christmas morning we unwrap a VCR box, with a Nintendo box inside it.

Of course I think I probably cried before my dad pulled the Nintendo out.

Zelda was my favorite. Ten year old me played it so much I did the first quest with one life (which I think meant a single sitting as I don't remember it having a save and exit option outside of dying).

But, never beat the second quest!

You can save and quit in Zelda, it just takes 2 controllers. You had to pause with controller 1 then hit Up+A on controller 2.

You would have saved ten year old me a lot of arguments with my dad lol

That's the real reason people bought Nintendo Power

Wait what?? You couldn’t save in Zelda? Didn’t it at least give you a code you could enter later?

[–] treefrog@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could save and quit when you died. So to beat the game with one life, you had to do it in one sitting.

Or know the controller two trick someone posted. But I didn't know that.

I think Zelda actually was the first game you could save.

Metroid used a code.

I think Kid Icarus used a code. Which is crazy because that would have had to encode a ton of inventory items.

[–] treefrog@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It did and yeah, I have no idea how they did it.
