MAME ROW #44 - The Last Day
-
As of right now, we've had 122 views on this thread, but only two votes? It makes me wonder why we're doing this if there's so little engagement…
Talking about my case:
My work schedule is 1 week of intense work (12 ininterrupt hours, day shift), 1 week of days off, 1 week of intense work (12h again, but night shift), 2 weeks of days off.Also, there's an unfortunate coincidence: my weeks start/end on wednesdays. Then there are MAME ROWs where I can vote but I can't play (this was what happened in Chopper I and Armed Formation rounds).
When I'm on my days off I try hard to get the best score, but when I'm on my week of work I'm unable to play (I could vote, but I don't like to do it without trying the game). And that's the case this week.
Well... enough talking about me. :-) I would like to say that we should try to continue a little more.

I generally check the latest MAMEROW thread, but unfortunately don't have a lot of time to play at the moment.
I don't think it's fair for me to vote if I know I don't have a chance to play the games, so I only vote when I've at least had the chance to check them out, and hopefully will have some time to play them and submit a score!
I never fail to be surprised at how soon Wednesday comes round again each week!
The good news is next week I have a sort-of holiday as my wife and son are off to visit her parents, so apart from work, and the inevitable list of 'husband chores' I will be left with (and likely ignore until the day before they are due back) I should have a bot more gaming time!
-
maybe there could be a reminder in the last day of voting? like this week, i played the 3 games, but thought i might get to play them more before i did my final vote, but never did, and then i forgot to vote :)
i also struggle to fit in playing the chosen game each week, but i think that's less of a problem. there's no real 'deadline' for that part of it - you can keep playing and submitting scores after the week has finished.

@dankcushions How do you propose we remind people?
-
@obsidianspider just a post in the thread should be enough. i get email alerts because i always 'watch' the threads :)
-
@dankcushions I can try to do that. I actually turned off the automatic emails because I was getting too many. Now I opt-in to the threads I want to stay up to the minute on.

85200:
can't get past the first boss - really hard to hold onto your lives and powerups!
-
This game has a MegaDrive look&feel (and sound fx).
This is my score after reaching stage 2 and game over: 116400

@obsidianspider Sorry, I missed MAME ROW 's deadline this week.
Jokes aside, another crazy working week.
-
@dankcushions I signed up for email alerts, it's the closest thing we got to notifications
@UDb23 The comic is the story of my life

Drinking some Heinekens and playing The Last Day...
I managed to get 260520.
-
@meleu 260,520?! I have my work cut out for me.
-
I got nowhere near @meleu's high score, but I have some good news.
MAME ROW #45 is live!
