please limit the infinite continue coins

[Fosforo]

I'd like to have in a future patch an option to set a maximum number of continue coins, for example 1, 3, 5... instead of the actual infinite mode.

Thanks

[Clancy McFancy]

I still wonder why that wasn't an update.

You're unable to control yourself and simply not continue anymore when you reach your self-imposed limit?

no

Some of us like the game being true to the arcade version. Arcade games typically ate credits.

Put a piggy bank on your desk.
Every time you press continue, put a coin in the piggy bank.
Now you have your arcade.

not cool, since he can break the piggy bank and get the coins. he should burn a note instead.

This would unironically teach you how much money you can save.

Add to that counting how many coins you put in your piggy bank, and using self-control to not press continue more times than there are coins.
First world problem solved, and they can work on better things.

I try to recap:

1) We live in the 2019, in full digital era
2) I've bought this game for over 20 euros
3) my request is to add a very simple function (2 lines of code)

and your proposal is that:

4) I have to count the virtual coins by hand and I must strengthen my self-control?

I've had other arcade collections that gave more control. It is a solid feature request. Wanting more control over the game settings doesn't mean you have no self control.

I'd like to see this and DIP switch settings.

Well, yes. You not having self control is your problem.

I like the part where the o.p. thinks the game should be limited to his specifications and the heck with the other thousands of customers and how they want to play these games like they were in the arcade.

Arcade games are made so you'll put in as many coins/tokens as possible. That was how they were designed.

He specifically says "option." And yes, that is how they were designed but you had finite quarters, not infinite. He's not saying take away infinite coins from everybody else. He just wants the option to set how many continues. Arcades machines originally had DIP switches so you could set how many lives, difficulty, etc. Now that we aren't using quarters it makes sense to have an option to set how many continues you can have.

Arcade games included in this bundle did NOT limit credits. These games are emulated, not cheap ports. They play exactly like they do in the arcades.

You would have to modify the code to limit the credits. Some of us don't want the games modified, we want them as they were in the arcade.

In the real arcade can you change the screen resolution, the number of lives, the level of the sound or the background image as you can do in this version?

If I want a near exact copy of the arcade game I play with MAME; if I buy a game like this, my exptectation that I can have full control over every aspect, coins included.

I simply ask for an other option. Is it so difficult to understand?

Nothing is inherently valid - much (MUCH) less needed - simply because you add the word "option" to it.

I surrender, enjoy your game with infinite coins. I keep playing with MAME, as this version offers very little more.

So you're admitting piracy on a Steam forum?
