When my main PSO save was deleted, and the next day my GF stepped on the disc and it broke in half. I still miss that game... (I actually now own it in various formats and whatnot...but its just not the same)

Sorry OP. That is rough.
Mine is when I had 95% of Castlevania: Circle of the Moon complete. I was right at the final battle. Came back and my saved games was gone. Yes it was a LEGIT copy. No bootlegs for me.

[quote name='Scorch']That sucks. My Rhino has two disc only copies, but they're a bit scratched.
I was near the end of some X-Men game on Sega, took me forrrevvvvvveerrrrrr.. and my friend's little sister walked in and pushed reset. She was like 3.[/QUOTE]
You know, you actually DID need to push reset at a certain point in the first Genesis X-Men to beat the game.
I'm guessing that's not where you were.
The biggest disaster I've had is having my Game Boy's batteries die right after I beat Pokemon Red for the first time. I'm lucky, I guess.
And to preempt Scorch, we've talked about this on the site before, but not for months and months. This topic won't hurt anything.

I was rubbing it in my brothers face cause he was teasing me and said there was no end to the game. i was 7 at the time, he was 12. i decided to go to the bathroom before the last stage... while i was there, he hit the reset button. I was sooooooo pissed. I through a big fit and tried to kick him in the nuts :lol:

I have 2 that come to my immediate memory.
1st - My brother and I are watching my uncle tear it up on Rygar on the NES(I think it was Rygar;whatever it was he could save and come back to it). As he nears the end of the game, one of my cousins come bumbling down the stairs, come in the living room and trip over the NES cord and unplugs the system. Everyone was like OMG WTF. Needless to say, my uncle never played Rygar again.
2nd - My uncle and I just get back from Toys R Us with the newest Sega Genesis Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game and decide to play it. Well about 2 hours into the game we end up beating it in one sitting. My uncle and I were both like is that all there is, right about then the credits started rolling, we were both furious.
So nothing as bad as busting a disc, but still horrible moments.

Mine is vicarious. My friends and I live in a tight-knit community and we have played SOCOM almost religiously for years. One day a few months back my buddy calls me up and says while trying to hold on to 2 40s of some nasty malt liquor, he dropped his PS2 with the HDD and SOCOM II inside and it shattered in his alley into pieces. He just bought a new one with a settlement check, but our clan turned to crap a couple weeks after he quit playing and it hasn't been the same.
EDIT: In trying to save the PS2, he dropped the 40s as well

I suppose this isn't my WORST videogame moment, but it is certainly the most aggrivating thing in recent memory. After finishing Chapter 4 in FFX-2 (Those godawful comsphere segments, oh my Jesus), I'm on my way to getting Episode Completes and the Mascot dressphere. And I go to the Mihen Highroad to complete it, and apparently I didn't watch enough stupid crap to finish the sidequest.
I can't even finish the game now. I'm debating wether to beat it and playthrough again, restart (even though, I know, this game was made for newgame+), or let it sit even longer.
Also, I suppose, I restarted Megaman Legends on Hard, got up to the Lake segment where you have to battle all the boats with missles and torpedos, and I can't beat it. I got close, I ALMOST was able to save before fighting the boss, but I died right before I was asked if I wanted to leave. Argh!

1. When I was really little, about 7, I was near the end of SMRPG and was having trouble with the platforming elements in the castle. I thought that if I copied over my save that was in the frog place it would automatically teleport me there so I could get out of there. No, you dumbass little kid, it 
ing copied over the whole save! Boy was I stupid. I was crying.
2. Much more recently, FFX-2 and Atelier Iris froze DURING THE ENDING. In the case of FFX-2, I tried again and it froze at the same point, so I returned it for another copy and that one worked fine. In the case of Atelier Iris, a lot of people have been having this problem, and they suggested to shut off the voices, so I did, and it worked fine. You could even skip the credits!!! Woohoo!

I wanted a genesis badly when it was released, and still had an NES at the time. Anyway, I recieved a genesis for Christmas, and then my parents explained to me that I had to give away my NES to my cousin who didn't have any video game systems at the time. I remember trying to explain to my parents that I still liked and wanted the NES, but to no avail.
Besides this event, 2 other bad video game times occured. One was when I was playing Gamecube and briefly left the room. When I returned, I saw the system on the floor (controller ports down) and realized that 3 of the controller ports were broken. Pretty darn sure one of my cousins tripped over one of the controller wires.
Last (but certainly not least), I decided to keep my sega/sega cd at my grandma's house for my cousins to play while they were over there. Bad move. So one day, I go over there and realized that the sega and sega cd are gone. Well, turns out that "they no longer worked" (whatever the heck that was supposed to mean) and that they were thrown away. What really angered me however, was that the games were tossed with it!
And I loved Sonic CD!
Interestingly enough, each event involves some sort of cousin

Repeatedly losing my Zelda 3 saves... I would play the game for a few hours, come back later and find the save file gone. Try again, play the game, save, it's fine, play and save for a few days, then just randomly the save would be gone again! Every time I turned my SNES back on I would be filled with dread, wondering if my save would still be there or not. My sister still remembers hearing the horrifying screams from upstairs. Finally what I did was copy the file to all three save slots. EVERY time I played, before shutting the SNES off I would make sure I had three identical copies of the save file. Sure enough, I often would lose one or two of the saves, but never all three. If I ever lost one I would just re-copy a good one, so I always had three. It's ridiculous that I had to go to these extremes, but I did finally complete the game using this method. Friggin' buggy-ass pre-owned SNES cartridges... my brother had a similar problem with Donkey Kong Country 3. I don't think he ever finished the game until he was able to emulate it on his PC, years later.

A friend of mine had just gotten Final Fantasy II and we played the game for an entire day. We got to the part where you first meet Yang and fight the bombs. We died but thought "hey no problem we saved on this mountain." Then the cut scene from the begining of the game when Cecil flies back to Baron started. We had not saved all day becuase we were used to the system in the original FF where you just had to use a tent to save.

1) Roomate takes my Playstation 1 memory card and erases the following files:
- Castlevania -- on the Dracula battle (2nd castle). I haven't played it since.
- SoulBlade - Completed all the challenges, earned all the weapons, art, etc...GONE
The worst part was that he erased the card to make room for a playbook to use on NCAA Gamebreaker 2002. I am still angry about it. Freaking Gamebreaker!
2) Recently playing through Mario RPG (SNES), SNES falls off due to trip up of the cords and needless to say, all save data is erased. I will never even look at this game again.

Ugh!!! I still get pissed off when thinking about mine.
Around 3 years ago my now ex girlfriend and I went through a pretty brutal break up. Basically I told her to get the Shaq-fu out of my house. I gave her 2 weeks to find a place and move her crap out. Well on the day she was moving out I went to work, came home that night and she had stolen a crapload of my stuff. Mainly stuff I didnt care about, but she took my Gamecube, 6 Games, 2 controllers, and 2 memory cards. Gamecube was fairly new at this point (resident Evil remake had just come out). Honestly if I didnt hate her so much I would have pressed charges etc.. its a long story, but thats definately my most hated videogame moment.

When Sony sent me their virus demo disk and I lost 30 games' worth of save files last fall.
Also, I took my GBA and FF:CC to a friends house one day. Had Advance Wars 2 in the GBA, which took me forever to find, and I beat it and was halfway through the hard mode campaign after like 3 solid weeks of play. I take out the cart to play FF:CC and, when we turn off the game, we see his dog sitting behind us, eating my Advance Wars. I haven't been able to find it in stores to even replace it yet.

If you have played against him you know that it takes forever to hurt him and after kicking his ass for 20 min he kills you in 2 hits when you are using a health potion. I never beat him because i was so furious i traded the game in the next day.

have a corrupt save data on my memory card where i saved all my progress in gta 3 (completed), gta vice city (completed), final fantasy X (with all aeons and almost all powers for everyone), victorious boxers (all completed) and a couple of other games that took forever. To this day I still don't trust sony made memory cards and only go for third party stuff even though I'm taking a bigger risk with third party stuff I'm still not goin for sony

when I beat well over 50% of a game all at one time and the xbox freezes on me with no save.
My worst moment was trudging my way through 75% of Shenmue just trying to like the game. Then when saving one day, Shenmue freezes up and corrupts my entire DC memory card which contained all the saves for all the other games that I actually enjoyed playing. I put an end to it by snapping each Shenmue disc in half. To this day, I am afraid to play Shenmue 2 on my Xbox because I just know it's going to erase all my saves to avenge its younger brother.

You have led a charmed life indeed.
You have led a charmed life indeed.
I had just gotten my PSX a few days after launch as a gift, and low and behold as I set it up and enjoy playing, my dog comes into the room. She tries to get onto her little dog bed thing and trips over my controller cables, pulling the psx off of a table and breaking the laser. (Thank god for CompUSA's warranty policy )
)It wasn't really a big deal, but the first thing that comes to mind is that I recently bought a used Pac-Pix that had everything unlocked. I started playing through it on my own, but after a few sessions (I was on chapter 10), I turned it on one time, and all the data had been erased. I just hope it doesn't happen again.
Oh, worse than that was when all my current gen game systems (Xbox, PS2, and GC) got stolen a couple of years ago. I was near the end of FFX, but, of course, the memory card was in the system. I haven't started playing FFX again, and I probably won't. Also, I was pretty far along in Super Mario Sunshine. I just recently popped that back in and started playing again from the beginning (I am one of the seemingly few people who actually think it is a fun game).

Two come to mind.
#1 when FFX first came out I had just gotten a new job and had a day off so decided to lay on the floor all day and play it. 6 hours later, I stand up and my back was really hurting but I didnt think anything about it. The next day, my back was REALLY hurting. Going to the doctor and getting an MRI it turned out I had 2 herniated disks in my back and they were pinching off my spinal column causing me being unable to stand up or sit up for 2 months. Since I had just started that job, they let me go cause I was still on probation (They rehired me about 4 months after I healed up and I still work there today). It might not have been FFXs fault..but I still blame it!
#2 Having some asshole hacking my DC Phantasy Star Online Character (lv 80) the day after I had traded a BUNCH of rare stuff to her from my main character. In place of my lv 80, i was given a character named Nal (lv 5)...I felt SOOO bad I actually threw up from it.

Playing the First US released Fire Emblem game for weeks and getting stuck at the 2nd to last battle. My characters are too low leveled to beat it no matter what I do.
Losing my save file to Castlevania 64. When I bought the 64 I got a crappy memory card and rumble pack and back then I didn't know the difference between 3rd party and 1st. This memory card wasn't even made by a typical 3rd party company, I had never heard of them before or since. Anyway I was over half-way thru the game, past the annoying "magical nitro" part and I think I had just beaten that annoying bull-boss thing, and the save was lost. I have never played that game again.

Mines pretty weak compared to some of the true horror stories on here. Probably 1/2 to 2/3rd through Brute Force when a bug in the game caused it to trap me after I defeated the boss at the end of one of chapters. Basically I was trapped in the room with the boss and couldn't get out to teleport off to the main chapter. (Or it was something like that.)
I could have restarted the chapter, but the game was barely good enough to hold my interest as it was so I sold it. Depending on your opinion of Brute Force I suppose this could almost be considered an example of video game grace

Not terribly similar, but in Fable (Xbox) you have to go a fairly long time right at the beginning before you can save. I had been playing for 30 minutes or so and needed to do something in IRL (and I don't put off people/appts/etc for video games) so I did this secondary save option they have in the game which I didn't think would work, but was my only option. My suspicion was correct and I had to pretty much start over. (Not as bad as losing 12 hours though!) IIRC I had another buggy save situation force me to replay a quest later in the game. The save system should have been overhauled on that sucker, poor execution.

Damn, you've had some bad luck with family and video games.

I fell asleep in my dorm room while some friends were still playing FFIII on the SNES. When I woke up, they were gone but my door was open. I was missing FFIII, Mortal Kombat II, and Chrono Trigger. I was beyond upset although my friends felt even worse for that happening (and reimbursed me costs).
For an in-game tragedy, I got to a point in Dark Wizard on the Sega CD where you needed a certain spirit to defeat an area. However, the game was so unorganized that I had gotten past the point where I could've gotten the spirit and it was no longer there when I went back. I had spent 25 hours on the game to find out I had to START OVER. I never played the game again.

Not too bad, but after repeated attempts to get 1st in the sixth track of WipeoutXL to unlock the extra two tracks, I finally get the screen that says "congratulations, you've unlocked..." or whatever it says. But it just stays on the tv, the thing froze on the congrats screen and I didn't get to save.
Got it the next night though.

1: I had a hard time playing final fantasy 7 back when I first got it- it was the first serious RPG I had. After about 20 hours of play, I finally got out of Midgar, and was stoked about discovering this huge world map I'd be running around on. Then, my brother wants to play, so I save and let him start a game. He copied over my file at the first save point. I cried.
2: Lent a friend my copy of Lunar 2, one disc at a time. While she had disc 2, she moved her PS2 from her place to grandparents- with my disc still in the system! End result was a massive stratch running the full length of the disc, preventing it from loading at all. Then, she got upset with me for being mad and demanding a replacement! I haven't lent her anything since. (I was luckily on disc 3 at the time, so I was able to finsih the game. seem to remember her being over when I finished the 'true' ending. You shoulda see the look I gave her when it prompted me to put in disc 2 to run the outtakes...)

When my Sega Saturn's internal battery kicked the bucket. I lost 25+ hours of Panzer Dragoon Saga, 15+ hours of Shining Force 3, all my progress on Nights, Burning Rangers, PD1, PD2, Magic Carpet, Tempest 2000, and tons of games that I've forgotten since. The worst part was that I lost ALL my net-link settings (remember that?)...and couldn't access the internet for weeks.

I haven't had too many bad moments, but recently during the 3 for $15 sale @ GC I thought I had found Panzer Dragoon Saga. I opened the case to find only a single disc.
Also, while sorting/cleaning my PS1 games recently I discovered that there is a crack in my copy of Persona. I'm not sure if the crack goes far enough into the disc to effect the game, I haven't played it in a while.

For those of you who remember it, the WWF No Mercy glitch (N64). It was basically a glitch that randomly returned the game to factory settings, thus erasing all your unlocked characters and created characters. I had to return the game maybe 7 times and finally gave in and shipped it off to the manufacturer. The game came out in October (I think), yet I didn't get a normal copy until around April. At least I got it, though.

Oh man, I almost fell over when I read that. That is freaking horrible. I would have been dying.
I also remember another one, folks. A few days ago I opened FFVIII to finish up my 3rd playtrhough (I like the junction system, what can I say?) and where my third disc should have been was Legend of Legaia.
I have no freaking clue where my third disc could be.
