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.

Robo Weeks here :)
After Robotron won the last ROW this time it is Robo Army for me.
It also has cheevo-support since a couple of weeks, so it is worth playing even more ;)

These looks most interesting:

• Star Guards
• Major Havoc - I haven't played in a while.
• Robo Army

I'm torn between two games which I find really hard, Major Havoc (which is a classic) and Robo Army (which is really only fun [for me] with two players).

@iandaemon OK, now I know Star Guards is very very...not my style.

I thought the "example video" of Star Guards was someone playing with a messed-up control scheme, but after playing the game I think they're doing the best possible.

Here's my sad attempt at Robo Army (single player, only 9000):

I know someone can trounce my Major Havoc score, because I think I only made it out of the first "human maze" on one attempt.
