Luckily, it is unable to do that much damage. I just meant that this bug crashes the game in progress. But, it is at a rather lousy location.

Because of the unique style of game play that Gumshoe uses, a game player who reaches this final level is bound to be very tired. After all, you have to use that gun for about half to a whole hour to get to that level. So, the last thing you want to have happen is this just crashing the whole game with a blank screen and no recouse. (Acts something like what happens in the NES game Mach Rider, when the load/save commands are used.) But, just like most NES games, there is no battery in the cart, so there is no way for any long term files to be corrupted. It's still a bummer to go so far, so hard, and lose to a bug.

While I have never had trouble with the Zelda bug corrupting any of the saved games, I did once have one of my Dragon Warrior III files become partially lost. And, when I turned on the game, it did something I bet very few people know about...it brought up a message.

The thing was very cleverly worded to sound appologetic about the event and that the game was going to have to delete the damaged file. The fact that there was an entire sub-routine devoted to dealing with such a problem really surprised me.

Perhaps, Microsoft could learn a thing or two from such an error message...
