MAME ROW #177 - Road Fighter

[IanDaemon]

So Dorodon is almost the same as a game I know as Ladybug. (MAME ROW #160 contestant) I love Ladybug. I have no idea what's going on in the example video for Dorodon.

I wonder if I could get Grobda to play like Robotron 2084.

Grobda is OK although a kinda "spastic firing tank game".

I'm not sure what the fighting is in Road Fighters. Am I fighting the road? How do I get more fuel?

Edit:
This helped with the basics: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Road_Fighter

Being in the U.S. Road Fighters is completely new to me.

Here's a crappy score to get us going: 7,850.

[IanDaemon]

9040, I was able to get the first fuel car. It's really a memorization game. Everything happens the same way every race. It's just so fast!

[IanDaemon]

Grobda is cool too. (6900)

[IanDaemon]

21,260, I finally made it to the second section and got on the high score list. I still think my copy is running fast. I have no idea how you're supposed to get far in this game at this speed...but whatever...arcade developers.

@iandaemon Slight improvement. (8700)

[IanDaemon]

@iandaemon I haven't tried it, but it seems that Grobda would work nice as a trackball game. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? (I'll try when I get home...if I remember.)

[IanDaemon]

As simple as Grobda appears to be, it's incredibly addicting. I can easily see this raking in the money in a pizza parlor or snack shop back in the day.

no more MAME ROWs? :/
What happened?

[IanDaemon]

@iandaemon Even though I'm rubbish, Grobda is incredibly addicting. So simple...one more game...ok, just one more go... (10760)

[IanDaemon]

@iandaemon I really have to finish that cocktail cabinet rebuild to get back to Grobda.
