I've never done this before in a game, but I saved instead of loading. Now I've lost about 3 hours of play (because there is no quick save function in this game) and I cannot remember everything I did but I levelled up twice in that period through hunting. I DO NOT want to have to do it again. A few days ago I saw a post with the same problem and someone answered that there was a way to resurrect the game. Can anyone help?

F8 in Marvin mode should revitalize your char.

I get get into Marvin Mode, but I'm not sure what to do at that point. I see "Marvin Mode" in the upper left corner, but then if I hit any key it disappears. When do I press f8? While MM is still visible in the top left corner? I've played around with MM for a while but got nowhere at all. I can't seem to access anything useful.

Never mind - I got it. Thanks. That was one of those slap-the-forehead moments.

YouŽd better save more often and rotate your save slots. A few people had problems with corrupted savegames in the mines. If this happens you should have a backup.

That sounds like good advice. I'm enjoying this game and don't want to find myself not finishing it because I've made a stupid mistake. I already have lots of unfinished games in my office as it is.
