        @meleu @backstander I just go with what it gives me. I do try to look for duplicates, Mah Jong, Quizzes, and "inappropriate" games after that one popped up the other week.

          Well I was never a HUGE fan of the original Bombjack, thinking it was a bit overrated, but Vs. Mighty Bombjack makes it look a gaming masterpiece! Wow, it's like they took all the bits that were good in Bombjack, and replaced them!

          Last time Space Duel came up it got my vote, although it didn't win, and it's still a decent game. However there is a weird sound sync thing on my cabinet with this one, all the sound is about 3 seconds after the action, which, once you notice it, is a bit annoying.

          I thought Hellfire was pretty good - I like the mechanic of changing the direction of your shots, but it does make it pretty difficult. A good challenge though, so this week Hellfire gets my vote!

                  Excellent! Well I am playing it in advmame 0.94, and managed to get 4600 but it doesn't save the score between reboots - honest!

                  I don't usually use advmame, but MAME2003 wouldn't let me map a button to changing the fire direction for some strange reason.

                  It also turns out that advmame lets me change the number of lives and difficulty setting, so for reference I'm using the default 3 lives and Normal difficulty.

                  It's a good game, but if you lose your power-ups it's tricky to then survive long enough to build them up again sufficiently before the end of level boss.

                    Is this the first horizontal shooter to be picked for MAME ROW?

                      @mediamogul We had 4-D Warriors in MAME ROW #4 and Raiga - Strato Fighter in MAME ROW #5.

                      EDIT: also Forgotten Worlds (#10); Mystic Riders (#16); Vanguard (#32); and Zed Blade (#25).

                        Wow, some great games there too. I love that this has been going on long enough now to have it's own traceable history and trivia.

                          @mediamogul I forgot to mention one of the ones I liked playing the most: Zed Blade from MAME ROW #25 (remembered that thanks to the @ETAPRIME apology video).

                              Better late than never, I couldn't match my earlier (unsaved) score, so here's today's effort. Good game, but annoyingly difficult.
