I rarely get to talk about this. I can 1CC about 20 arcade games(from 1983-1993).

But I did excel at Slapfight and have clocked it 7 times over on a single credit.

What does it mean to 1CC a game?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Good question.

1CC is short for 'One Credit Clear' or One Credit Complete.

To finish an arcade game on one games' worth of money put in. Original prices were: in USA=1 quarter, in UK=10p, and in Australia=20c.

To get to the end(beat final boss etc) and complete the game. Some games would end after completing and roll credits/congratulations etc, others would start back over again at the start with increased difficulty. When you start again, you 'clocked' the game(like a clock going around to 12).

You could sometimes get 1hr or 1.5hrs out of a single credit.

I remember one night in a video shop that a 1CC on the game Heavy Barrel is exactly(to the second) the same length as Metallica's album, Ride the Lightning at 47min 26seconds. (nb. On a WM-FX421 Auto Reverse Walkman)
