      Factory settings for New Rally X is 3 Cars/Easy. We could use that setting or all agree to use 3 Cars/Medium if that's too easy. 2 Cars is not enough game, IMO.

      Also, Factory setting for Bonus lives is A (first bonus life at 20000, then at 80000).

        Maybe @lilbud can do some of those polls with all the options:

        1 Car, Medium
        1 Car, Hard
        2 Cars, Easy
        2 Cars, Medium
        2 Cars, Hard
        3 Cars, Easy (default)
        3 Cars, Medium
        3 Cars, Hard
        

        (I could do it, but my company proxy blocks traffic from/to http://www.strawpoll.me/)

        And maybe we can add some info on how to change dip switches on RetroPie's MAME versions (TBH I don't know how to do it yet...).

          In Mame2003 and Mame4All, you need a USB keyboard. Use the TAB key to access the options menu. Dip-switch settings should be the third option. Navigating and changing values on the menus is pretty self-explanatory (use arrow keys).

          EDIT: If, for some reason, you insist on lr-fba-next for this title, you can access dip-switch settings through RetroArch. Press Select+X when the game is loaded, then choose Quick Menu, and then Options. Use D-Pad to change values.

          Upon further reflection, everyone should set their game to 3 cars, and difficulty level should be set to what handicap you feel you need. We'll all compare scores assuming the setting is default (easy), but you do get extra bragging points if the level you set was higher. I don't think we have time for a poll at this point.

              @R1n0X pretty nice, huh?
              you should say that you played in a Windows machine. ;-)

                This game is actually pretty difficult (lr-fba-next) but oh my god, I can't get that SONG out of my head!

                  The scoreboard is now live. You should be able to edit, and put your score on the slide.

                        This was fun. It's easy to lump this in with the other maze games of the time, but the smoke screen mechanic and chaotic interaction with the walls really sets it apart and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I won't have time to post mine in the daylight hours, so for better or worse:

                            This is my one and only attempt. I was going to play multiple times. But I got sick, and couldn't

                              Can we start to collect suggestions for the next round?

                              @R1n0X I know you are a retro gaming encyclopedia. What arcade game from the 80's do you suggest?

                                  @R1n0X That Cold War atmosphere really takes us back to the 80's! :D

                                      @Lyle_JP I didn't know this game but I saw in wikipedia that it was named Green Beret in Japan and Europe. The US Rush'n Attack name seems to be a pun with "Russian Attack".

                                        Well, my suggestion is Space Invaders. I have never played the arcade version of this game. I just played the Atari 2600 version when I was a little kid.

                                          IMO pick a random game from the 0.78 romset. give us the possibility to play something new/weird!

                                            @dankcushions I liked the idea. But how do we do the randomization logic?
