The worst was the passwords system and god forbid you lost your piece of paper that had them written down.

I've optimized my writing style specifically so that video game passwords are entirely unambiguous.

This is probably why I passed my exams way back when. Handwriting today doesn't have to be legible.

Oh GOD the letters and numbers system, and heaven forbid, symbols too.

i'm pro password system. bring 'em back. Imagine being able to back up your saves just by photocopying them and being able to share it with someone via fax.

This was me right before the final level in the Spongebob: Flying Dutchman game for GBA. One of these days I'll get my hands on it again and see the end properly.
