My Morrowind save died after I had completed the expansions. I was gutted. Then I started again a week later.

Played Rome Total War, Barbarian Invasion, and just as I was about to complete my Franks campaign, my save bugged out. I was pissed.

I feel for you, Morrowind is such an addicting game.

And where are my manners? Welcome to the Escapist!

Star Wars Episode I: Racer on the N64. WTF.

I also lost a TimeSplitters 2 save file on the GameCube, which particularly hurt as I had just about every gold medal/character in the game. My new one has pretty much everything back now, so I couldn't care less.

In BioShock 2 I beat one area, got on the train, and started off to (I think) Siren Alley when the game froze at the load screen. While I didn't actually lose a save, I did lose the last several hours of gameplay because I didn't save. I was pretty mad, but luckily I had my girlfriend to "distract" me afterwards.

My GameCube memory card died right after I beat Paper Mario 2 for the first time EVER. I was crushed, but because the game is so damn awesome, I beat it again in another week.

One time I shut off my PS2 too early while Tekken 5 was saving. Grinded my way back up again.

Also lost my Divine Nine-set character in Oblivion due to formatting (even when I had the save files BACKED UP) and had to re-grind the arduous wayshrines of the Nine to get the fucking armor back.

Ah.. my legenday Pokemon Gold team of level 100 pokemon (Typhlosion, Lugia, Ampharos, Tyranatar, and Octillary all level 100) with about 15 other level 100's in the PC. Took me a long long time to do all that and then it vanished one time. Corrupt data my ass. I went ape for quite some time. Oh well, I'll have to get the new heart gold and build them up all over again.

On my PS1 my Spyro saves kept dissapearing like fucking crazy.
I used one of those 3rd party memory cards, that was like 2 in one.
But yeah, Had all 3 games beat, then they all dissapeared. Did it again, same thing happened.

Games are lucky that they're so damn fun, or else bad stuff would have happened to them.

Also my pokemon crystal waaaay back. For some reason the data was wiped.

No explination. 1 Day it was good, then the next "poof". All gone.
I started it up and all I got was "new game" and "options". No "continue game".

I was pissed.

Same thing kind of happened to me. Only it was my new crystal save and my game got stolen. And when I got it back he traded away all my good ones.

Luckily my lvl 100 Typhlosion and 100 Charizard I've had since red was on my silver version. I was planning on transferring them over until it happened...

He got what he deserved though. Thats for sure.

I'm kind of interested in what happened to the guy now. Hopefully nothing too bad. >.>.........

It wasn't too bad because I got to do it all again and I got the old team of 5 back, but the magic was lost, it never lived up to the original team. That was the worst part of losing the saves for me.

Same here,Except my Morrowind was overstuffed with mods at the time,thought I still leveled up my characters the right way. ;~;.

I had a lvl. 67 Bottle-Rocket(Custom Class). I couldn't even look at it so I shut it away in my closet for 2 days,then started over again. :p

I ended up smashing my Silver version with a hammer because its internal battery died.

Damn it!

Oh, and The Legend of Zelda crapped out tons of times years before then.

This is why I'm glad cartridges are going the way of the dodo.

On Star Wars: Reble Strike for the GC I had best ever medals for about half of the levels and gold for the rest as well as having found all the tech upgrades, that file mysteriously got corrupted and I've never managed to get all my medals back.

Also my awsome lvl 40 Oblivion character got corrupted I must have ploughed 80 hours into him and then he was gone.

I tried replaying a few of the oldie pokemon games recenlty, but the save function didn't work because the batteries in the cartridge were dead. Luckily my dad was willing and able to fix it. :p
