This is the MAME Random Of the Week #57

The three random numbers for this week are: 1446 1272 97 1994 1061 389

• 1446 is Quiz Jinsei Gekijoh (Japan) which is a quiz game and was removed from consideration
• 1272 is Paradise and is a "mature" game, so it was removed from consideration

What is the MAME ROW?

MAME ROW stands for MAME Random Of the Week. We randomly select an arcade game from the 0.78 MAME Reference Set to play on the week. The idea is to play games we've never played before, interact with other forum members, post hi-scores, share game strategies, fun facts, and (the most important) HAVE FUN!

Notes:

1. We usually post hi-scores screenshots after playing with only one credit. If you used more than one credit, please mention it on your post.

2. There's no need to use RetroPie to join the MAME ROW! You can play it on any platform you want.

3. Feel free to post your hi-score (or any content about the game) anytime you want on the previous rounds topics (link below).

Every Monday we create a topic at the "General Discussion and Gaming > MAME Random Of the Week" forum section with the 3 random games to be voted. And on Wednesday we check the result.

These "rules" are constantly being improved!

[cyperghost]

@andershp Let's fly ;) 99 Luftballons
This one is so retro - cool hairstyle!

For our international forum members ;)

[pjft]

Vs. Balloon Fight is fantastic.

And so is Goldfinger's version of that song, @cyperghost ;)

[obsidianspider]

This week's winner is Vs. Balloon Fight

[pjft]

Well, I played it yesterday once and only managed to score 14500. I'm pretty sure I can get a screenshot of it, but odds are that it's not a really hard score to beat. :)

I'll try to play a bit more during the week if I have the chance!

[cyperghost]

So ... a small teaser here
76450pts - stage 7

@pjft .... A warm welcome to you ;)

Picture of proof ;)

[meleu]

@cyperghost it promises to be a lively week! :-)

79050 here.

[cyperghost]

@meleu Yes - I hope more people will enter this one
Good score! But this is beatable ;)

---

Edit: Voila....

94800pts

[meleu]

@cyperghost your turn again: 141350

[pjft]

@meleu nice! That's pretty close to my 14500... Oh. Nevermind.

The scores the two of you are discussing are way out of my league. :)

[lilbud]

@pjft Same here, I tried playing and only got 53,600.

[cyperghost]

@pjft

@meleu
Well I think I'm out of buisness, got a long week and may have only some time this afternoon :)
But by Grabthar's Hammer ;)

[UDb23]

Had no time to take the playing challenge but, even if late, I made overlay and launching image for it.

[obsidianspider]

How did you manage to only show one of the screens? I was only ever showing the two of them at the same time.

[meleu]

@obsidianspider same here. And the overlay is on top of the gaming area at the borders.
