Quoted By:
It is a gaming term that stands for
"1 credit clear" It means to finish the game without using any continues. In arcade machines, you would have to insert quarters for "credits" that let you play the game. To continue the game from when you ran out of lives, you would have to use up a credit. In some shooter games such as touhou, they still use the terminology even though you no longer have to get credits to play the game.
