Hard times..

When I was little, I never understood what the memory card was for and how it worked, but I always knew that my ps1 and ps2 would ask for one when I play. I would play my games and each time I start up my console to play one, I start over, though I still always felt there was more to the game that I could never reach in one sitting. I grew up playing video games for years without a memory card.

Playing Jak and Daxter one day and my uncle gives me a blue memory card (he keeps the red one) and tells me that I put it into the slot in the ps2 to store the save data. I still didn't understand. The game detects the memory card and I proceed to play normally. I finish playing and the game saves, but I read the message telling me to not remove the memory card, or controller, or reset/turn off the console, so I leave the ps2 running for hours after that, thinking I must never shut off again. I come back to play and realize my ps2 has been shut off by my dad for not being used, so I rage at him like it's the end of the world. I go to play Jak and Daxter again, and notice I can continue from where I left off. My eyes light up and I jump up in joy, finally able to comprehend what a memory card does. Shit felt like magic. I was honestly blown away.

"save"? w-what does "save'' mean, pray tell?

I remember playing resident evil 2 on playstation. I didn't have a memory card cause my parents were poor, so I couldn't save. Once you died, you had to start over... now THATS hardcore!

That's why I LOVE Call of Duty!! You never run out of Ammo with Scavenger!!

RE1 had the worst voice acting on earth, but that just made it even better. The REmake is the scariest game I've played, and for the time, it's graphics on the GameCube were amazing.

After reading all these comments, I feel so lucky to have a gamer older brother who had memory cards when I was a little person...

bitch please, i had a ps1 without a memory card

My brother and I had the original Driver game for our PS2. We couldn't save it on a PS2 memory card, so every time we wanted to play we had to restart from the beginning. One day my brother decided to sit the fuck down and play the whole thing through in one sitting. He was playing it all day going through the campaign and got extremely close to the end when my mom came in, told us we were playing too long, and unplugged it. Our faces when

Dead Space 2's hardcore mode let's you save only 3 times in the playthrough, and there are no checkpoints.

Just leaving this here...

Mfw LASO run on any Halo game
Don't even get me started on that shit

That game was hard as a diamond boner in an ice storm, and scary as fuck.
