Auto-save

So, as promised, today I started another game: Half-life, a 1998 sci-fi fps.

It's a pretty old game, it looks ugly and plays kind of weird, but I'm ok with all that, I knew what I was getting into, and since I want to play all the games in the Half-life series, I wanted to start from the beginning...but one thing I noticed right away... back then, games didn't use auto-save like games these days.


And I'm so used to that feature being there, that I never really bother to save anymore in games. So, the first time I died, I had to start all the way from the beginning... that was NOT cool, and it made me realize how important that feature is, but worse, how much I depend on it... I'm going to have to make it a habit in this game to save constantly
