I played that game for the first time when I was 9 when I rented it from blockbuster.  By the time the weekend was over and I had to bring it back to blockbuster, I had only gotten to the Forest Maze.  So what I did was write down the SKU number for that particular blockbuster cartridge, went back there the next weekend, found the cartridge that I had rented earlier and rented it again so I could keep playing from my save file I started.  I did this for five weekends until I finally beat the damn thing

Wow, that's very smart of you. I would have never thought of that. And you got that lucky to obtain the same cartridge each visit?

Yeah, they didn't even have that many copies of it, but I found it there every time.  This was when blockbuster just put the copies of the games in plastic boxes behind the game's display case so that people could just grab and take it through the checkout, and I think they only had three or four copies but i always found the one I started with, luckily enough.  I made sure to erase every other file when I got it so in case anyone else rented it and I was s.o.l., they could start a new file and leave mine alone.
