FF2 - a dropped Ribbon!

Okay, so I was fighting around in FF2, and opened some guarded chest containing a weapon - I THINK it was the Defense Sword in the Whirlwind.
Anyway, when I defeated the monster guard, something really cool happened: HE DROPPED A RIBBON!
I got really surprised, I went like "OMG! A Ribbon!" and State-Saved like crazy, just in case. :D
However, for some damn reason ALL of my saved NES files disappeared from the computer today, so I can't proceed in this file. :mad:

Could anyone confirm my claims about the dropped Ribbon?
Has it ever happened to you before?
Do you remember the boss who dropped it?
Cuz I'd like to get it again, on my next playthrough. :)

i think the ribbon was a glitch and the glitch erased the save files either that or you were supposed to get that ribbon and you were just unlucky. i think its the first one because i never remember getting a ribbon in the whirlwind anywhere.

yeah, I'm going to say you imagined things, or a glitch, the only place to get ribbons is much later, from the snake women thingies. eh, it's been a while. too lazy to go double check.

Does this mean you can get infinite Ribbons? :eek:

It's very unlikely that ALL of your ROMs and save-states were deleted just because you glitched a Ribbon... It's probably an emulator glitch...

Emulator glitches tend to look more like:

STOP 01x000000A

The program has comitted a fatal error and cannot continue. Go ahead and press enter, it won't do jack****. I control the vertical, I control the horizontal, do not try to restart your computer.

Now this is getting really weird, THE FILES ARE BACK! :)
How did this happen, anyway?
Why did they DISAPPEAR, then REPLACE?
I mean, I don't complain at all, but WHY? :confused:

Obviously it's the little gnomes in your computer. Oh, they love to play pranks during the Christmas season.
