      After some extensive lunch break testing I'm casting my ballot for U.N. Squadron. If for no other reason than nostalgia. Having only one life makes the game a lot harder, and the music is cheesy compared to the SNES, but it takes me back to being a kid, and that's priceless.

          Also went with U.N. Squadron. It was the first game I ever owned on my Amiga 1200 and it just brings back the days...

            Hah. Had started playing UN Squadron today as it was one of the random selections from ES. I'll vote for that so that I can join!

                        OK, so shots fired.

                        46930 is my highest score so far, I made it to the level 2 boss. Considering it's my first time actually playing this, it's hopefully not bad.

                        I struggled to type my name a few times - if you skip the continue countdown by pressing a button, it'll default to AAA :/ Still, this score I have PJT there. I'm playing with Shin Kazama (?).

                        I'll upload the photo tomorrow as I can't resize it on the phone to a size that the board accepts.

                        Have a good evening!

                          if you're on Android, this is an amazing app.

                            @lilbud Thanks! I'm actually on an iPhone, but I'll keep that for reference! I could certainly get an app to resize the picture, but I suppose I'm kind of lazy to install an app I'll rarely use.

                            It's not like I'll be kicked out of the MAME ROW club by not submitting the picture immediately, hopefullt - unless you guys changed the rules yet again :P

                            Here's the image of the wall of shame (both PJT and AAA are mine, 4th and 5th places):

                              @pjft I can just exactly squeeze past this, but it wasn't easy!
                              My current high is 49.130 at 4th place - same place as you, second level boss.
                              I'm running the plane in the middle, what about you guys?

                              Funny how the autofire stops after like 5 seconds.. And did anyone get what the different powerups mean.. Blue = weapon, green = speed, or..?

                                I'm in!

                                Reached stage 3. Not sure if I reached the boss, it is a kind of fortress with several cannons...

                                Score: 86030

                                I chose that blond pilot in the middle. Tried a few times with the bearded guy because of his double shot and then realized that when choosing the blond guy we have more bombs. And having a log of bombs is very useful at the bosses. :)

                                        @udb23 looks like a 3DS.

                                        @obsidianspider well done! what stage have you reached and what pilot did you choose?

                                          I need to get retroarch running on my 3ds. Would be nice to play some Mame games on my break times at work.

                                            @UDb23 it's a n3DS XL. It stutters in some spots which you would think would help you because of the slowdown, but then it randomly reverts to normal speed so I end up taking damage at weird times.

                                            @meleu I got to the end of the third stage (the fortress thing). I have had the best results with Shin. I did not use any special weapons on the first stage, I used the forcefield on the second stage (those planes coming up from behind all the time SUCK), and no special weapons on the third stage.
