addedIf you are unsure if saves are working for you game, before you quit, take note of the Main Story number and the Q number in ESC -> Status menu.

this terminal inputs a mission from 1-25 and a quest from 0-4 then will return you to the title Screen to press Continue Game. or alternately you can choose to go to the end game area with a lot of credits (which skips some adult scenes in the game)

If your data doesn't save for some reason, I'd recommend playing/continuing the story this way the unlocking everything with this terminal after. This unlocks all Magazines also but I don't think it activates the achievement since it only checks whenever you pick one up.

Added a "Q" variable to ESC -> Status to track a Quest variable for the Abandoned Terminal

Updated Magazine text with remove find in city "upstairs" to avoid confusion. (It used to be up some stairs)
