@pjft I'll try today and get back to you!
Edit: It didn't go well.... Score went more down than up... not sure what I finished at but about 2,000.... Died on the bit with the large plane (maybe a boss?)
Further Edit: I tried again and did a lot better, it's about getting past that first level and then the score gets a bit happier.
Oddly enough one of the best ports of Spy Hunter was for PalmOS. You controlled the speed and position of the car with stylus taps and used the bottom buttons for the weapons. Was a very nice version.
Edit: oops, it was the wrong score and screenshot. corrected it now.
I was still trying this game, before going over to next weeks game. I just discovered the other guns have "bombs" and not just this "useless" evasion move. I finally managed to kill all enemies in first level, 100% clear rate and beat my personal score quickly by a little bit. @VictimRLSH your score is still insane.
Score: 133200
EmulationStation has the X button mapped for choosing a random system or game. If you're in the system list, X will position you to a random system, if you're in a game list (inside a system), it will position you to a random game - you just have to press A to start the game.
Modifying the existing behavior - to start the game automatically - means you're going to have to program it into EmulationStation - something that's non-trivial for someone that's not familiar with programming or EmulationStation's source.
Sorry everyone, with the holidays, MAME ROW fell off my radar. MAME ROW #153 is now live, and due to the holiday, and me being late, we'll have the winner announced on Thursday, January 2.
