The one between three and three.
Any new open world* rpg too. I did this same thing playing fallout multiple times. Auto save ain't shit if you're just messing around in the wasteland.
You ever try playing Kings Field and Kings Field 2 for Playstation? Can't just save all willy-nilly, you gotta find a save point
Within the first... oh... 15 minutes of playing the game for the first time you will likely have died 5-10 times. The first time you encounter a Kraken, which happens to be very close to where the game begins, you will die pretty much immediately. One hit kill until you're a much higher level. The first time you run into a skeleton (also very early in the game), you'll die quickly 'cause you're simply not ready to fight them. Get used to hearing your character scream in agony over and over and prepare to buy new controllers for it 'cause you're gonna break 'em.
You can download the isos all over the internet and run it with ePSXe.
