"I was playing Xbox earlier today"
"You mean the Xbone?"
"No"
"Oh, you mean the 360 then, right?"

Whoever you were talking to is an idiot. It's like when people say "I was playing my Nintendo" and mean some other console beyond the NES (or worse, one not made by Nintendo). Or like when people say they own every Sega console, so I ask how their SG-1000 is.

Ah-Ha!

Multiple save states was my issue with Bioshock Infinite.

I love playing 8 bit computer (Tandy Color and C64) ports of classic Japanese arcade games. A lot of them are really poor conversions, but I find them fascinating for some reason.

Seeing what they did on the limited hardware is super interesting to me. Sometimes they work better, sometimes they are just trash. Every time is fascinating.

You got your progress back?

Yes, and I'm thrilled.

Why isn't this mentioned in the manual? I know no one here has the answer, but "Saving Your Progress" should be addressed.

But hey, crisis averted.

Can you explain it for us here? As far as I can tell there is no way to save the game. I just quit when I'm done and hope the checkpoint was close to where I am. :(

2. Welcome Center

3. Raffle Square

5. Monument Island Gateway

6. Monument Tower

7. Battleship Bay

8. Soldier’s Field

9. The Hall of Heroes

10. Inside the Hall of Heroes

11. Hall of Heroes Gift Shop

12. Return to the Hall of Heroes Plaza

13. Finkton Docks

14. Beggar’s Wharf

15. Fort Franklin Pier

16. Worker Induction Center

17. The Plaza of Zeal

18. The Good Time Club

19. The Plaza of Zeal

20. The Gunsmith Shop

21. Shantytown

22. The Bull House Impound

23. The Bull Yard

24. Finkton Proper

25. On to the Factory

26. The Factory Courtyard

Don't click "Continue", rather choose "Resume Chapter"...something close to that. I had to look through each chapter name to remind myself of where I last left off. I also had dozens of save states (still don't know why) to look through.

Hope that helps.
