Seeing the credits/Congrats screen = beating a game. --- End quote --- Maybe I am just tired, but am I missing something here? What exactly is a "One credit completion"? Do you mean using one credit to end up back at the beginning again and/or repeating old enemies you already defeated in a "never ending" and/or "kill screen" game? Or maybe hitting high score, or even a roll over? :dizzy: --- End quote --- As I said before anyone can finish a game with a bag of money, but imagine gun to your head, 1 (one) quarter/coin in your hand and choice of one arcade machine and you will be spared if you finish it. By finish I understand: rolling the score, seeing congratulatory credits rolling and seeing all the levels and starting from level 1 again Which arcade games could you pick and win? BTW I recall completing 1 more game: 99 the last war! It's not very hard since I was able to finish it without the shield. Game was in a cabinet where there was only one button for fire and no shield whatsoever! --- End quote --- Ok OK. Now I get it. It was a semantic thing I wasn't getting. The original poster meant "beating the game in one credit", you differentiated the concept into "beating the game (x # credits)" and "1 credit completion". That is what confused me. So your "1 credit completion" = the original posters "Which arcade games have you completed (in one credit)" intent. Sadly, I have not really done that well in the one credit beating category. Although, I bet I COULD beat gradius (NES version anyways) in one credit without dying (only because I played the damnthing so many times). If NES games were to also be added in full: Ducktales comes to mind as a game I never even got hit once before completion, let alone dying. But that is NES games, not arcade games... (although it would be nice to get a few props for completing ducktales without a single hit, as that paricular objective isnt as easy as it sounds) (Edit: forgot you were the original poster, mimic ;) ) |

Yeah, 1cc is the standard term for what is being discussed here. You'll see it used all over message boards dedicated to various genre's of arcade games, particularly the shmups* crowd. *shmup = shoot'em up. Galaga, Gradius, 1942, Ikaruga, etc. |

Actually, 1942 and such I consider vertical scrollers, and 'stationary' ones vertical shooters - they're all 'shooters'. Never shmup, cos that sounds like a rom kiddie name from the 90s. Of course, I rarely abbreviate, etc, things. |

| Ummon:
That was a rare case. It is a legitimate abbreviation, though, and has existed decades before net speak and whatever related felgarcarb. Also, it came to mind that there's the 'perfect game'. Who's done that? |
