My copy of Mischief Makers still has my file down with my age as 13 (as it was my 13th birthday present).

Just a few minutes ago, I plugged in my copy of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. This delightful game offers a free calendar that you can leave messages on. What do I find?

Although not completely the same thing, I find it wicked that Christmas NiGHTS for the Saturn is a different game based on the date -- for example, it's only Christmas NiGHTS during December, but it can be Winter NiGHTS or NiGHTS Special Edition during other times of the year. Your character is replaced by one of the enemies on April Fools Day. Kinda cool.

The savegame on my copy of Starflight is from 1992. It's gonna be a sad day when that battery dies.

OK, now I got to know: How many classic titles actually have some sort of realtime date/time system?

And don't say Pokemon G/S/C.
