I know this is MAME, not Arcade, but the Emulation section doesn't sound right for this...

So I was playing Crystal Castles on MAME last night, got a decent score (for my standards) and everything was fine.

But instead of the high score screen, a Credits screen shows up.

Just wondering if anyone knew about this already...looks like an easter egg or something (and Crystal Castles is full of them)

Thought it had something to do with the score, so tried to do it again but shooting for an exact score (333,061) is pretty much impossible.

Google searched it, got nothing.

You should ask Mark Alpiger at classicarcadegaming
He's one of the top player.

Oh yeah that's right!!! How could I forget the guy who can play Crystal Castles with his feet?

It's not an Easter egg - the credits are always there

What level were you on when this came up?

Inky: Looks like 5-1 or 5-2

rmaerz: Really? I just played another game (got to around the same place) and it just went straight to the enter initials screen

I have seen the credits many times before - I just don't recall exactly when they appear.

Interesting...hmm maybe I'll get in touch with Mark Alpiger and see what he says

If I recall correctly, Crystal Castles ends somewhere around that area, although I could be wrong.

Alright, FINALLY had time to get to that email, should be going out later tonight.

Crystal Castles goes to 10 something IIRC (10-1 or 10-4). The last level is called The End.
