When playing old school games, you often find that after your character has died, that you have the option of using a continue. Sometimes the continues are unlimited, other times you only get a limited number of continues. The question is, do you use the continues? Do you only use a few, or do you use them over and over again with reckless abandon? Do you feel that using the continues are like cheating?


Since I started playing the old games again, I've been encountering the dilema of continues. For some reason, I feel guilty when I use them. I think that I should be able to get to the next stage without using them. But sometimes it seems that you could never finish certain games without them.

I guess alot of it depends on the particular game.
