TLDR

Several users recounted finishing PlayStation 2 titles from start to finish without the ability to save progress. They cited the absence of memory cards combined with frequent electricity disruptions known as NEPA wahala in Nigeria. One player mentioned completing RE4 by keeping the system powered on continuously. These accounts appeared among replies to questions about the first PlayStation 2 games people played and personal gaming histories from that era.

@Theecalvin25Pausing the game the entire day and locking your room >>
@don_se7enImpossible for Nigerian kids, Nepa would take light, and you'd have to start again. But I don't believe this is possible sha
@TheJobfather__Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It was my introduction to The PS2 but also video games as a narrative device.
@KaicoLabsIf you still have your PS2, what's the first game you're playing?
@shettylolosthe amount of games I’ve had to play from beginning to end without memory card and dealing with NEPA’s wahala every few hours was actually insane.
@Jetjaguar67We were a little broke as kids but this demo disc was the first things i played and to this day i love everyone of those playable games
@bluntlungz@WESTSIDEJC_ I beat RE4 without a single save at the cost of leaving my PS2 on for like 2 weeks. 😭😭
