I just love the fact that this kid had no idea his little inside joke named save file, would someday become an open topic of discussion on an international internet forum.

Many years ago I rented an RPG and one of the save files was named KINGCOCK. I just left it alone, but so many questions with no answers.

"Kids these days" won't ever have the pleasure of buying a used cartridge with a save file on it.

You've played FDS games, right Xumy? Most of them have saves that can overwritten - but not straight up deleted - so most of the disk images floating around the internet already have saves on them. It's pretty odd.

Hey now, don't mock the Kingcocks. They're an elite family of French royalty, with a long and noble bloodline that survived the violent French Revolution, the Bonaparte years, the second world war and rising foreign imperialism, and the numerous problems that arose from such historical events. Why, Count Dumas Kingcock was even incredibly influential in the creation of the Chateau de Bagatelle in Paris thanks to his influence on the prince de Chimay. When Comte d'Artois purchased the property from him in 1775, it was Count Dumas Kingcock who suggested he employ neoclassical architect François-Joseph Bélanger to design the house so he could win a bet with Marie Antoinette. Count Kingcock's son, Masio Vive Kingcock, then helped construct the new fixed pin table game that became known as bagatelle. Thankfully, when the revolution came, Masio Vive was away on a trip to visit America with his wife, the lovely Lady Iluv Kingcock, where they helped further spread a love of the game in the New World after French troops brought it over during the Revolutionary War.

Despite the heady violent days that followed, the Kingcocks remained in favor with both the competing Houses of Bonaparte and Bourbon because of their love of all things game. Why, Napoleon III even considered marrying Gloria S. Kingcock but instead chose Eugénie du Derje de Montijo to be his wife. As a result, Gloria S. became an old maid and spent the rest of her days caring for her ailing mother, Ineeda Kingcock. But her brothers, Honkin Kingcock(who married a German woman, Schlurpa Kingcock) and A. Nalfor Kingcock(with his Swedish wife, Zuchs Kingcock) continued the family line. Yet, with the decline of the monarchy, the Kingcocks soon decided that it would be best to leave and instead made their way to first America and then later the newly opened ports of Japan.

It was in Japan that family member Gagon Kingcock soon developed a small children's toy based on both Corinthian bagatelle and Billiard japonais. This toy was first known as "Corinth Game" but then bloomed into an adult game of choice in Nagoya around 1930, where it came to be called pachinko. Unfortunately the Kingcocks were soon the target of violence as pro-imperialist sentiment was on the rise, and Gagon left Japan for America along with his wife, Maidfur Kingcock.

Unfortunately things did not go so well in America, as Gagon's alcoholic son, I. "Guzzle" Kingcock(so nicknamed for his love of imbibing alcohol), squandered the family fortunes on drink and prostitutes, and the once powerful Kingcock family faded into obscurity. However, it seems that you, Exhum, have been lucky enough to find some evidence of the Kingcock's family continuation in the US. Now you know all about their heritage and influence and why you should be proud to have experienced a Kingcock of some kind, even if it's only a name in a Super Nintendo RPG.

Yes I've seen this with FDS images, also with PC88 and PC98 images! Save files from eons ago with random names. It's pretty rad in a spooky nostalgic way.

This is why I love Ack, and I think he's secured post of the year.

I just checked, and there's actually a legit sex toy line called King Cock. Because, of course there is. :o I don't know if it's in relation to the Kingcock family legacy or not. I think the CEO's name is OHGAWDMYPRECIOUSPINKASS Kingcock, so it's possible.

You left out one interesting fact though...

The Kingcock family was known to dine exclusively on geoduck and tulips.
