    You could save and quit when you died. So to beat the game with one life, you had to do it in one sitting.

    Or know the controller two trick someone posted. But I didn’t know that.

    I think Zelda actually was the first game you could save.

    Metroid used a code.

      I think Kid Icarus used a code. Which is crazy because that would have had to encode a ton of inventory items.
