    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 will play the winner all next week.

      @obsidianspider Oooh! I'd go for The Cliffhanger or Pole Position. I'll try them out later and see if any works better than the other or not.

          I can never get past that Attic part in Splatterhouse.

            I ended up voting for Cliffhanger. Pole Position was one of the first games I got on the ZX Spectrum, but it's not especially great these days. Also, I couldn't find a way to change gears on Mame 2003.

            I never played SplatterHouse so that's also an option. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of this!

              Yesterday I was inspired to watch Friday the 13th Parts 6 and 7. XD (although I'm voting for "Edward Randy")

                  Was The Cliffhanger or CLIFF HANGER going to be a series?

                    Interesting. So I tried it out today and got a score of 7095, it seems. I made it through part of the second level.

                    The scoring in this game is quite weird, what it seems to measure is the max power attained.

                    How are your experiences so far?

                      @pjft I'll try today and get back to you!

                      Edit: It didn't go well.... Score went more down than up... not sure what I finished at but about 2,000.... Died on the bit with the large plane (maybe a boss?)

                      Further Edit: I tried again and did a lot better, it's about getting past that first level and then the score gets a bit happier.
