Have you ever played a game (especially handheld) for a few hours and progressed a long way, and then turned off the power without saving accidentally? I do this a lot, and often I don't play the game again because I can't stand doing a certain stretch again. I got Professor Layton for Christmas and just did this with about 20 puzzles' worth of progress and now I can't even turn on the game any more. I once did it with two gyms on Pokemon D/P, and forced myself to sit there for two hours again fighting the same trainers because I really wanted to finish the game.

Does it happen to you, and do you play through the game again anyway?

I use 10 to 15 saves per game where possible and I save very often.  At worst I may lose maybe 20 minutes of time. 

If I somehow do lose a lot, I get frustrated and sad mostly.  I might put the game down for a while but I'll come back to it and pick it up eventually.
