What is the MAME ROW?

MAME ROW stands for MAME Random Of the Week. We randomly select an arcade game from the 0.78 MAME Reference Set to play on the week. The idea is to play games we've never played before, interact with other forum members, post hi-scores, share game strategies, fun facts, and (the most important) HAVE FUN!

Notes:

1. We usually post hi-scores screenshots after playing with only one credit. If you used more than one credit, please mention it on your post.

2. There's no need to use RetroPie to join the MAME ROW! You can play it on any platform you want.

Every Monday we create a topic at the "General Discussion and Gaming > MAME Random Of the Week" forum section with the 3 random games to be voted. And on Wednesday we check the result.

These "rules" are constantly being improved!

Damn, I'm on holiday this week, but there's no way Time Pilot wouldn't be my choice - a classic!

If I voted anything other than Time Pilot you'd know I was an imposter :))

I didn't know this game. Pretty cool. I'll play it again, out of MAME ROW, for sure.

Here is my best score so far: 87900

By the way, @UDb23 made an overlay for this game six months ago.

78200 pts - Stage 3
@firsttry ;)

The game seems to be a classic endless gamer
stage 1 - 1910
stage 2 - 1940
stage 3 - 1970
stage 4 - 1982
stage 5 - 2001
stage 6 - 1910 (seems more difficult).....

at the bottom left you see "kills to go..."

It's an absolute classic! Played the real thing a lot as a kid.
It's a shame I'm on a business trip and therefore can't play it this weekend.

Took me a few tries, but then I found my groove.

Much like the Joust post I wrote up a while back, I just posted another Arcade Classics: Time Pilot where I added some playing tips/strategy for those who would like a little help with this game.

@caver01 Well done! Just did a 117.000 and was about to post it happily, but now I can't! :D

Why you can't?

[AndersHP]

@meleu Well technically I can, but it's not a highscore anymore!
Oh what the heck, I'll just do it anyway then :)

Is the top right planes just an indicator of the current level?
