The purpose of this thread is to show off your 1CC's.
What is this 1CC? Is it edible?
No. 1CC is short for "1 Credit Clear" and is typically used to refer to beating arcade games, or arcade style games, without continuing.
What type of games can you 1CC?
Mostly shmups (Ikaruga), light gun games (House of the Dead, Time Crisis), belt scroll games (Metal Slug, Contra), puzzle games and other arcade style games with limited lives. 1CC's are always assumed to be done at default settings unless otherwise stated.
What is this 1-ALL and 2-ALL I've been hearing about?
A 1-ALL and a 2-ALL are ways of showing how far you've made it on certain games that "loop" over after you beat it. For example, if you can make it through all the stages of Gradius, the game will loop over with harder stages. If you beat all the stages and then the game loops over, you've 1-ALL'd the game. If you beat all the stages again on the second loop, you've 2-ALL'd the game. If you make it to the second loop of the game but run out of lives on stage 3 before the the loop ends, you've done a 2-3. Some games loop over indefinitely, others end at the second loop. Generally speaking, a 1-ALL is equivalent to a 1CC.
What? That sounds impossible. These games are credit munchers.
Believe it or not, most arcade games are designed to be beaten on one credit. The first time you play an arcade game you might not get very far, but instead of continuing, let the timer run out and try again. You might be surprised just how quickly you can make progress.
I saw one guy absolutely wreck this arcade game the other day. But when I play it I can't make it past the first stage without continues.
Except for extremely rare situations, nobody gets really good at a game overnight. And the guy whose extremely good at a game had to start somewhere, so get crackin'.

Go ahead and list everything in one post. As you add games be sure to update your original post. New posts and discussions about recent clears are highly encouraged. If your list is getting buried you can link back to it.
