I could have used save state support back in 1985 during the long hours I would waste time playing Sierra On-Line's King Quest (the boot diskette) version and then either drown or get done in by ogre or the giant.

Or my favorite memory when playing IBM/DOS version of Wilderness on old CGA monitor back in 1986.
Wilderness> the pink color rattle snake just bit you. Go set up tent. Me> Sets up the tent next to river. Wilderness> it is now pouring torrential rain downpour ( supposed to look like rain, but is purple looking as CGA monitor displayed....maybe Prince's Purple Rain?) Me> Tear down tent Wilderness> No....the flash flood just swept you down the purpleish colored river. Too late.
