What was the point of "Hold Reset before Power off" on the old NES?

Sue me.

Far from it. Thank you.

From what I understand, Goldeneye 007 had no memory pak support at all. The cartridge’s internal save was EEPROM, so there was no battery cell to wear out. Every Goldeneye cartridge should still have its internal save data.

Yeah, you are right, I was thinking of the game The World Is Not Enough, which wasn’t nearly as good as Goldeneye but not bad.
