Can we get a list going? How many games don't give extra lives out at certain scores of the game?

Vs. Balloon Fight is one. You start with 3 guys, and once they are gone they are gone.

Pac Man gives one, right? Should that count?

Sports games shouldnt count ;)
 
Lunar Lander is another one, right? Didn't someone say you get a tank of fuel, and once its gone the game is over? Can you get more fuel or no?
 
sea wolf, although it is timed, and you get a bonus additional time if you hit a certain score, so that may not count.
 
StarTrek SOS...

Yeah- Star Trek is a little different.

You don't know how many people I see step up and BAM BAM BAM- three hits and it's over. (or four...)

But, you should probably count SHIELDS here, not lives. The shields ARE earned with points and can be replenished at each Star Base.

Aren't there quite a few fighting games that don't give extra lives, too?
 
A lot of the older driving games like Night Driver, Monaco GP and the original Sprints give you bonus time when you reach a certain score so I don't think those should count. Even games like Super/Championship Sprint give you another race if you win so those are borderline as well. There are a lot of more obscure games that fit this definition a lot better IMO but it would take some time to come up with a good list.
