Response to Sports games, like tdfever....one credit?

QT, you twit. (At least that is the first thing I thought, and I'll let everyone know why)

I was asked about six months ago, to make an entire accounting of sports games, so I did a lot of research. The results of that research found some things.

One, most sports games DEFAULTS were not what the MameDev team set for defaults. The example here is Relief Pitcher, where the player is to continue as long as he/she (there are female players) doesn't lose the game.

Two, other sports game were built to be continued, as they get harder with each successive game in order. The example here would be TouchDown Fever, where the opponents get harder and harder with each successive opponent.

When I did this research, I was told by the people at MARP that fine, games that continue to get harder with additional coin in, and can only be played that way would be that way, while the rest would be one coin only. Examples of 1-coin only: Double Dribble, Blades of Steel, Atari Baseball, Football etc...

Now, QT, where did we do a total 180 on the idea and went to 1-coin only???
