Some CD32 games has a save game option included, while others relies on the password system. To see the current save games that are available, you'll have to push either the blue or red button while the CD32 is idle (just after you've turned it on). There you'll see a list. These saves can be locked and unlocked. If you unlock them, they will be available for overwriting. If you lock them, changes are big that you can't save any other games, due to limited storage capacity.

That in my opinion was the worst design flaw of the CD32. Only giving you 1K of save game ram in the system.

I agree, it's very annoying. Had a go at UFO: Enemy Unknown the other day, and I saved the game to continue another day. When I loaded the game again, a lot of the information was gone. This included current research and such stuff, which takes time setting up again. When Commodore first thought of adding this function, they could at least have beefed it up a bit, so that save games would be complete in more complex games.

I think my idea of either including a floppy drive, or a floppy drive port and allowing developers to use that for save games would have worked much better.

It should definitely have a floppy port. Imagine playing UFO and not being able to save everything, I would have accused Commodore.

[Puni/Void]

That's true, but it could be that Commodore (and or other companies) was so afraid of piracy that they didn't include it. imagine all the games that was freely available on floppies that CD32 owners could play if this was the case. Also, I remember reading in the old magazines that "piracy was dead" because of CD-ROM. Well, it didn't take long before they were proved wrong on this field. Anyway, I agree with you about the floppy. Would make a great difference to have one in the CD32.

The CDTV has one.

[Puni/Void]

But the CDTV wasn't a console in the way that the CD32 was. CD32 was produced for gaming, while the CDTV had a other functions and areas of use.
