Found my old PS1 memory card and it corrupted my entire save for 'Gex: Enter the Gecko'
This happened just last night when I dug out my old console from the basement. I was so excited to finally beat that weird hotel level I got stuck on as a kid. Plugged in the memory card, loaded up the game, and my 98% complete file was just gone, replaced with garbled text. All those hours spent collecting those remote control TVs, poof. Has anyone else had a memory card totally fail on them after like 20 years in a box?

Man, that's brutal. Old memory cards are ticking time bombs, huh?

My 2005 CF card still works fine.

Keeping old cards in rotation with regular formatting seems to help mine last longer than just letting them sit. If I don't use a card for a few months I throw it in the camera and run a quick format before storing it again. No failures yet with any of my early 2000s cards.
