    This is the MAME Random Of the Week #125

    The three random numbers for this week are: 1868 1568 49

    Click here to vote! Which game do you choose for MAME ROW #125?

    The result of the poll is posted on Wednesday, so we have Monday and Tuesday for experimentation.

    1868
    Game Name: Super Locomotive
    Company: Sega
    Year: 1982
    ROM file name: suprloco.zip

    1568
    Game Name: Strikers 1945
    Company: Psikyo
    Year: 1995
    ROM file name: s1945.zip

    49
    Game Name: Angel Kids (Japan)
    Company: Sega / Nasco?
    Year: 1988
    ROM file name: angelkds.zip

    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!

      I prefer Strikers 1945 III (Strikers 1999 in Japan) to the original, but that's just me. Cool series though! Angel Kids is wacky enough for my vote!

          @obsidianspider Something is going wrong with the poll ;)
          I think me and Ian voted for Strikers but we have two votes on Angel Kids ;)

          So what to do?

                @cyperghost Well, I did vote for Angel Kids due to its "wacky-ness" although I enjoy Psikyo shooters. Maybe the poll is accurate? I dunno. I may have to find and add that Super Locomotive title to my collection.

                  Angel kids is quirky, but I can't get the controls setup well enough to play it over and over (or at all really). My high score is ten points. (That's one dot collected.)

                  I must've gotten a bad ROM of Super Locomotive. I couldn't get that one to load. All three games this week look to have high replayability!

                          @IanDaemon said in MAME ROW #125 - Strikers 1945:

                          Ninja Baseball Batman

                          It's Ninja Baseball Bat Man. But yes, quite a turnout :).

                            @mitu Yeah, I was just prepending the "Ninja Baseball" part considering the readership and combining the references. NBBM is a good game. It's a shame that beat 'em up doesn't get more notice. I love the wacky enemies.

                              @cyperghost Detailed info on Strikers1945 on hardcoregaming101; including the "unusual" endings.
                              Seems the developers have an obsession :-D

                                @UDb23 There is need for some corrections in the hardcoregaming guide

                                Messerschmidt Bf-109 [...] Its bomb is one of the stranger attacks, calling in many giant planes to come in and suicide bomb everything on screen.

                                No it's just a stuka-attack ;)

                                        @IanDaemon I finally have a decent (two stick) control set-up for Angel Kids. Waaay easy when the controls aren't crap. XD

                                          @IanDaemon OK, so the controls are straight-forward, but I still find them difficult.
