      Hey y'all.

      Not being actually robbed by your quarters, what is your strategy for coining up when playing MAME?

      Are you just coining up as you die?

      Are you setting a goal before playing, e.g. I want to see how long I'll get with 10 credits?

      Or how do you generally use the coin buttons, to keep the games the most challenging and fun?

      Share your ideas :-)

        It really depends on the situation and/or what mood I'm in. It was a lot simpler before 'Moon Patrol', when one credit meant one game. However, Now that I think about it, I do like the idea of an "allowance". It could be a fun way to simulate going into the arcade with whatever pocket money you had as a kid.

          I designed this to solve the infinite credits problem:
