      Cadillacs and Dinosaurs vs Battle Toads vs Metal Slug? Oof, tough choice. BUT...someone's gotta win. The arcade version of Battletoads it is!

      And I'm only going to vote once! (which I normally do except for the one time I found out that I could vote more than once on https://www.strawpoll.me.)

                I went with Contra on this, but it wasn't an easy choice... Great lineup this time!

                    @AndersHP I agree, although I'm going to play the games I like regardless of voting outcome.

                        Personally I dig Strikers 1945 III by Psikyo. 1942 by Capcom is just so slow in comparison. I know they're different franchises made at different times for different audiences, but I still find 1942 slow. (Since we're putting Arcade and MAME in the same sentence...I'd even recommend Capcom's 1944: The Loop Master which Arcade1Up is bringing back into the limelight.)

                        1942 is a more classic game though and fondly remembered (even though it does sound shrill).

                          @obsidianspider excellent game - my friend Ian Cullen has the actual board and is ranked 8th in the world according to TwinGalaxies!

                          https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/1942/arcade/points-single-player-only/

                          You'll be pleased to hear that none of his skills have transferred to me though, I'm still absolutely rubbish at 1942!

                          I'll give it a try though.

                            @GtBFilms I never could get good at 1942 either, but can clear 1943 on one play.

                              Awesome!
                              @obsidianspider please remember to carry over some of these great games to other ROW's.

                              Now for some shmup action!
                              I always like to hear if people run these in mame2003 or fbalpha?

                                @AndersHP are there any noticeable difference between the two emulators with this particular game?

                                Systems: Raspberry Pi 0/2/3 Model B+
                                Os: RetroPie 4.5
                                Frontend: Emulationstation & Attract Mode

                                  I've run it through fbneo. Seems to work fine.

                                    I guess i will run on any MAME-Version or FBAlpha/-Neo as it is from the early 80s and therefore does not need much performance.

                                    Only issue that i have with AdvanceMame is the lack of highsocre-saving.
                                    AdvanceMame only supports "Revision A", which seems to be not supoorted by highscore.dat.

                                      @AndersHP I try LR-MAME versions first , FBA/NEO second, and AdvMAME third. But that's just me.

                                        @Brigane I don't know, I'm using lr-fbneo also.

                                        What's the deal with the whistle-tune in the beginning of this game?
                                        Is it some kind of WW2 reference, that I don't get? :)

                                          @AndersHP I didn't even realize it was a song. Just kept wondering what the annoying chirping sound was. Hahaha
