    The year, 1995. The game, Police Quest 1. I had a nasty habit of using only one savegame, until it bit me in the ass. It was pretty much the end of the game and as you go to the prison to talk to an inmate you lock your gun in a safe outside before you enter. I did so, got the info on where the deal was going down, exited the prison and got into my car at which point I saved because not saving before you drive anywhere is suicide.

    It is at that moment that I realized that my gun is still in the safe and I kinda need it for the gun fight that is about to ensue. To my horror I could not exit the car again as my partner insisted that we have to leave immediately.

    I never played it again.

    Holy cow dude...I have story ALMOST identical to that. check this out:

    The year, 1993. The game, Police Quest 1. I had a nasty habit of using only one savegame, until it bit me in the ass. It was pretty much the middle of the game, where you are booking 2 guys that you've arrested. You are meant to store your gun in the locker outside prior to entering, but I had forgotten. Once inside I had saved.

    It is at that moment that I was killed as I uncuffed the two guys. To my horror I could not leave the room until uncuffing them.

    I almost never played it again.
