what do credits do lol

or do they serve as nothing more than an indication of my performance

i would google this question but since literally nobody played these games i can't find any answers lol

oh... they're lives............

that's what credits usually are in games. either that or chances to keep going upon game over. idk what else you'd think they would be. arcade games were a thing once, remember?

arcade...... games?????

i have never set foot in an arcade lol

they had been long dead here before i was old enough to have developed an interest in gaming

but panzer dragoon was indeed designed to be an arcadey shooter and in traditional arcade fashion, loss of all "credits", or allowing the continue countdown timer to run out, or any other failure to finish the game in one sitting means the player must begin from chapter one again lol

local theaters might have had one or two machines in a corner somewhere, but on the few rare occasions i have seen arcade machines in person i pretty much never interacted with them because i had access to video games that were slightly less likely to try to extort me at home lol

i vaguely recall two instances of playing arcade racers on some family vacation a decade or more ago, but that's probably about it for my arcading experiences

12 tyvm

[Kalahari Inkantation]

finished the original panzer dragoon

and i only ran out of "credits" once lol

now i'm kind of upset that i have no way of playing the other two games in the series as they were never ported to other systems and i'm certainly not spending $80 on a sega saturn just to play them

especially not when the third game has a resale value of $400-500 lol

i wonder if there are any functional sega saturn emulators floating around

pretty much only the dkcr games need them as far as modern nintendo platformers are concerned lol
