Are there any video games that have multiple save slots that then go on to do a meta thing and have the data in different slots affect one another?

@sharkNserg Wild Arms 3 actually had to go out of its way to *avoid* this, weirdly enough

@sharkNserg the game has multiple intro cutscenes that play depending on story progress, so that you don't get Huge Spoilers when you watch the opening movie after turning on the game

in order to deal with having multiple save slots, Wild Arms 3 actually doesn't play the intro movie until you've loaded a save

@sharkNserg oh I guess any game with multiple save slots and unlockable hard mode/ng+/whatever would also technically count

@sharkNserg oh!! nethack!! it only has one save slot, but it's possible to encounter ghosts of previous runs on the floors they died on

@sharkNserg I like the idea of a game where you can see all your other characters just chilling at the save points they last saved at, though
