Managing save games ( applies to most CRPGs, not just Wiz8 )

I've found it very useful to identify game saves by number, as follows.

00 Start Game
01 (next save)
02 (the save after that)
... and so on

I usually keep between 10 and 20 saves before I start overwriting them, starting at the lowest save number.

Every 20 or so saves, and/or at places where you make a critical decision in the game, do a special save. I identify these by putting XX before the save number .. eg.

XX 46 before dragon

Special saves are generally not overwritten, though as you progress in the game you may want to delete every second special save, if you are running low on storage ...

Using the above strategy it is very easy to backtrack in the game, if you find you have made a major error. [img]graemlins/nicekitty.gif[/img]
