Just remember how Space Duel works. When you drop in a credit, then you
get to select which game to play - connected ships or single. If 2 credits
go in, you get 4 choices. If you drop in 2 credits, you can still play a
single player game which only uses one credit and thus brings it back to
the game select screen (rather than attract mode) when the game is over.
This is probably the reason there is no attract mode for free play (it's
always waiting on the select screen).

They should have made it only go to the game-select screen AFTER you
press the "select" button. IMHO, that modification to the code would
be far better than any "credit maker" at least for space duel.
