 * Marcus Stone series - you gain one to three lives (depending on setting) and a random weapon
 * Code G3M3N1 series - again, you gain one to three lives depending on setting (your defense meter is also refilled because why not?), instead of a random weapon, you get more ammo for your three unreloadable weapons, fourty Spazzer shots (fifty before 4th Strike), one Bomber shot, and five freezer shots.
 * Gaiablast! - your health is restored by 50% and you gain 1000 coins for your current run.
 * Blackout Rescue - You gain two extra lives and one to three extra bombs (depending on dipswitch)
 * Nyami's Monster Mayhem - yet again, one to three more lives, enemies on-screen will take damage.
 * In Fighter's Tournament 2 to 5, using a credit will completely fill your super meter (only possible against CPU opponents).
 * In the first four Cat Alexander games, you get one to three extra lives, and 20,000 points.
 * In the first three Cat Alexander: Escape Master games, prematurely using one credit will grant one extra life, you super meter being maxed out, and your health bar being fully refilled regardless of how much prior damage you received.

Non-ProtoGame examples

 * Most Konami beat-em up arcade games had to give you extra health/lives when you sacrifice credits.
