Back when games had built in save systems and renting was far more commen, would you ever play the most advanced file on a rental game before you even started a new game?

I must admit, I did this more than once. Something about all those items and skills, I just had to see what I could eventually do.

Nah, I'd wipe the save files clean first thing when I booted the game.

Now, I have only rented a game once and it had no save file.
But say if I bought a used game I kept the old saves but started a new one only deleting the old save when I needed the space.

Actually a story I got (you'll probably won't believe me).
I sold Shining Force 2 (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis) when I was younger. A few weeks later and in another town I saw Shining Force 2 used and kinda regret selling it. So I rebought it. When I booted it up, it turned out to be the exact same copy that I sold with my old saves still intact. So I finished that playthrough and have never sold a game since XD.

Yes. Just to see where they were though. I would always be lost because I didn't know what to do. I think Paper Mario was the first time for me that it happened. One time I rented Yoshi's Story and my old file and high scores were still there from a few months before. I remember being really excited about it :')

Oh that's mean. Sure, I did that one or twice myself, but it's still mean.

I might have peeked at someone else's save file but promptly exited out. I like to make my own progress through a game.

If Platinum was HAND drawn, she'd be on paper, fool. This is a video game. They just made her on screen, no "drawing" involved -Delano7 on BlazBlue

I never rented a game that held its own saves.

You dont have to be old. I rent 3DS games all the time that have saves on them.
