@meleu said in Forum Tournament Round 2: We're going to Plaid:

@dankcushions could you do it for the next round? It surely would be much appreciated.

sure! ok, i filtered by blank-for-parent, which gives me only parent roms: list of 2681

now, random generated a number 1-2681 using https://www.random.org/

drum roll

258 = bosconian (namco 1981)

i've heard of this! hope it works in mame2003? currently it's 'untested' on the compatibility list.

@dankcushions look at that map/radar!! Pretty similar to the New Rally X! (well, it's a Namco game from the early 80's) LOL.
Thanks! I'm going to start practicing!

The ROM file is bosco.zip, I'm using the .37b5 version on lr-mame4all and everything is fine.

One thing I think should be mentioned here: @UDb23 made a cool overlay for New Rally-X.
It can be found here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5988/yet-another-overlay-new-rally-x

@BuZz I think this thread deserves to be in the MAME Random Of the Week area too. It's part of the history. :-)

Done and done. Are there any other stragglers out there?

Are there any other stragglers out there?

Maybe this one: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7679/how-can-we-make-mame-row-better

@meleu

There we go. It's nice to have all these in one place. There are plenty of great games I missed out on and looking them up in the future will be much easier now.
