Or you'll never get to hear "Coins detected in pocket" bit. I forgot all about it until I burned the last 2 credits for my son and I this morning. I had the volume cranked so loud when the machine spoke that my son and I nearly shit our collective pants. OK for him since he still wears a diaper, but bad for me, as I have not yet started to wear one. "Coins detected in pocket" he says. AWESOME.
 
Yep, one of the sad "cons" of freeplay as it is associated with Berzerk.

Ya gotta have the "Coins Detected in Pocket" line. It's priceless.
 
I feel the same way about the sounds a game makes when you put a quarter in the slot. I always forget about them because all my games are on freeplay. Makes me want to set the games up to work off of tokens.
 
has your high score improved?

the WR holder sent me a strategy guide a few years ago, i think i still have it. it didn't help me a whole lot. I think I've gotten maybe 11k on this game but haven't played it a huge amount.

Still at 9170. I had no chance today. My son wanted to play and I wasn't really focusing. Actually, I just plain sucked.
 
Huh? I've never heard that on mine before. It always powers on with a bunch of credits and I guess I've never played it enough to get rid of them. I've got to replace the joystick on my game - the one on it sucks and makes it almost impossible to play.

Is there a quick way to remove the credits?

The quickest way would be to change the dip settings so it's not on free play. Someone here might have to tell you the correct settings for them though, I don't have that in frt of me at the moment.

The machine will retain credits when in regular mode, even after powering the machine down. This is not a 'Freeplay" issue, it is a saved/ roll over credit issue. I am sure there is a way to delete the credits, but I just used them all up down to zero.
 
There is a way through the bookkeeping function to clear credits. If you don't have a battery hooked up, it will power up with random credits.

Mine had battery problems for years and it made some weird credit count with letters in it. Worked like freeplay. Finally got it worked out because I missed the "Coins Detected in Pocket!" goodness! I use the "Bob Roberts 2nd Player Start Credit Trick" for that machine to add credits.

LOL I always keep my games off free play. Because on some games, the intro will not play and it will sit on the "PUSH START - PUSH FIRE" screen.

My favorite is from one of my all time favorite games. Wizard of wor.
