The old gameboy cartiridges have an internal battery that is needed to retain save data.
But if they go bad you can
replace the internal battery, rather then buy another copy.
Sadly you will lose your save data no matter what.
As once the save [b]Very Bad Thing™[/b] stops recieving power from the battery all the save data will be lost.
But with a new battery it will be able to make new saves.
But I did enjoy playing HM3. It wasn't my first(that was the original HM on the SNES).
But I really did enjoy it as a handheld game, and still play it every now and then.
