These 14's, I've found out, were recorded with multiple credits...
I only used one, but the 14 that tops the US version is a 2-credit game, and the JP version is a 3-credit game!
Now, I realize that changing these recordings to just one credit would create similar scores to that of Blockade, Checkmate, Comotion, or Dominos, but I thought we had a rule for only one credit per game?

Sports Dude, I have one of those 14's, so I know who you are
referring to...
The game is designed as such, to advance to the next level, you need
to place another credit in the machine...
No 2nd credit means you only play level one.
Unlike others, I quit as soon as I don't win.
That's why I consider mine legit.

I think eventually we're going to have to settle exactly what MARpers
should be trying to achieve on sports games for MAME. Single game,
single period, or single credit? Anyone have any feelings on this?
Under current rulings, I agree with Sportsdude...the recordings should
be deleted.

I never said I'd ban them Q.T...
In fact, I'd actually be in favor of them in some games. Not only
does this apply in TouchDown Fever, the beta 2 addition Relief
Pitcher runs on a similar credit system, to continue to the next
level in Reliever mode, you had to insert a credit. I wouldn't favor
this in normal mode, but I would in Relief mode.
I think though we should talk about to Zwaxy about this...
I know it's about one-credit stuff here but some games aren't that
good in one credit. =)

Two points,
One, it is necessary to multi-coin to play the game until you die. It
would be like the same thing if you were playing 10 yard fight on a
machine that required you to credit in to go from High School to
College to Pro.
There is no cheating about it, that's how that game is.
Two, Relief pitcher is now MAMEable??? WHERE!?! WHEN!?! HOW!?!
I loved that game!

While I've always said that all games should be one credit only (with
the exception of games like Galaga where higher scores can only be
properly displayed on a 2-player game), I'm starting to think that
maybe sports games should have some custom rules for MARP recordings.

<p>

The problem is, what is determined for each one? I'm guessing that
most games will adhere to the rule of using as many credits as needed
to play a full game, and whatever your "score" is, whether you win or
lose, that's what you put in as your score. The only problem is the
golf games...

<p>

I did like what was done with 2020 Super Baseball though, but games
with a scoring system outside of the regular value aren't that common
