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!

We're still working things out with the new MAME ROW structure. We will play the winner all next week.

Rally X is in "arcade classic" collections and I never gave it a chance before 2019. It's actually a pretty good game. Mappy is another game I never gave a chance that turned out to be fun.

Rally X is another game that no matter how hard I try, I continue to suck monkey wongo at. My play gets WORSE the more I play.

It is really annoying that the rocks don't show up on the radar, you can't just navigate using the radar screen or you'll plow into a rock. :(

@VictimRLSH I feel you. With good reflexes maybe you can turn fast? Otherwise, I have no idea how to deal with it.

I have a new score! And this one hurts, because I died in front of the last peace. Almost had it, damn.

Score: 31490
Stage: 4
