Hmmmmm, that's 30+ years of gaming history for me to sift through (what I can remember anyway) but off the cuff, when I was younger I'd rent video games on the weekends from a local place and one that I absolutely loved was called 'Crystalis.'
It wasn't a particularly forgiving game so when I would make some real progress I'd be elated. My luck would bottom out the following weekend though when I'd return to rent it again only to see someone else had rented it and overwritten my save, meaning I'd have to start over again.
I'm not sure if that counts as what you're looking for, but that's the best I have just now.
