What game have you been hell bent to beat on 1 credit?

As a total nerd arcade enthusiast, I have a few games in my collection that i have spent literally *years* playing, and I am still not able to beat them on 1 credit. Were these games even designed to be beaten on one credit? Probably not. Even if theres youtube videos, i am sometimes skeptical (mame, cheats, slowdowns, hack replays). Anyhow...

#1 game I have been playing for 20+ years trying to beat on 1 credit: Magician Lord on NeoGeo. I can get to the final stage but I just can't beat it on 1 credit.

2nd- Ninja Combat on NeoGeo (soo close, last boss, not possible!)
3rd - Final Fight (Rolento usually beats me!)

Theres many more but those are my most wanted. I'd love to see what others arcade personal challenges are! I'm looking for new ones too!
 
I beat Golden Axe on the hardest difficulty setting without getting hit .

I could also get to the boss right before the last level on Ghost in Goblins without getting hit .

That's as far as I can make it in GnG too. I never seem to beat that level! All concentration lost after 1st death.

No you can't continue either, mom only gave you 1 quarter! At least that's all I got as a kid... lol

I could not beat that Level . I think it would take me around 15 minutes to get to that spot without getting hit and then I could never figure out how to beat that boss .
 
This probably isn't on anyone else's list, but Heavy Barrel. It was the first game I owned and it was the only game I owned for more than a year. I loved that game and pent every chance I could trying to beat that game on one credit. I never could do it.
 
Rastan, Black Tiger, Gladiator and Ghosts 'n Goblins.

Games I have:
Street Fighter 2
Street Fighter alpha 3
CvS
Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Contra
Hippodrome
 
I would consider rolling Defender to be a great achievement, but I don't think its ever gonna happen!
 
Back in the day I could get to the final stage of Karnov on one credit but never finished. Same with Contra, alien end boss but never got by him. Always wanted to get thru Ikari on one quarter too but I don't know if its doable.
 
Shinobi, at least in MAME I've come pretty close on its hardest setting.

Shinobi is another favorite, I can make it to the last level on one credit. Since you can't continue on it, I've never beaten it before! That game is actually relaxing to play, I could probably do levels 1-3 with my eyes closed. Ninja magics are for wussies!
