 * C: Checkpointed (dev defined checkpoints)

 * M: manual save (user defined checkpoints)

 * I: Immediate (retain current game state)

Continue supply:

 - lives = continues

 * U: Unlimited continues

 * L: Limited continues

 * P: Permadeath = no continues

   are expected to be reset on continue, or reverted 

 * R: Reset (reset resources to starting state)

 * D: Decrease (resources decreased, e.g. level down, dropped souls)

 * S: Save-relative (revert to manual save/checkpoint state)
