Yes.  You suck.

I know. But after a while, there's no sense of danger, especially if you can keep coining up. They're fun at first, but I dunno...

Go for the 1 credit all clear. Problem solved.

Ah yes, the old "if you think it's boring or easy then you're not playing it right" trope.  Sometimes games just suck.

I see what you're saying, but it's hard to argue that a bottomless pit of "credits" doesn't have the potential to neuter the experience of a game. 

I'm completely on board with the single credit approach, especially for shooters.  It's even better if you throw in some friendly competition.  Seeing how many points you can squeeze out of that single credit and going toe to toe with others really takes the fun factor to the next level, at least for me.  Games need stakes.  When you can just mash the coin-up button all day no matter how much you suck, there are no stakes.
