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.

3. Feel free to post your hi-score (or any content about the game) anytime you want on the previous rounds topics (link below).

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!

Time Tunnel looks original, and railroad games are pretty rare.
I'll give this my vote.

@andershp it got my vote too.

Just tried Time Tunnel yesterday, it's actually quite fun, and not that easy!

[obsidianspider]

After leaving the polls open a bit longer it came to a tie between Time Tunnel and Vs. Clu Clu Land. I let Random.org choose a random number between 1 and 100. Odd for Time Tunnel and Even for Vs. Clu Clu Land due to their order in the original poll.

random.org selected 63, odd. The winner is Time Tunnel

It took a little while to figure out what to do, but this is a pretty fun game, but I only got to level 3 before getting stumped and having to go back and watch the attract mode to see what the goal was.

28,270

[obsidianspider]

It looks like after you finish Level 3 you loop back to Level 1.

38,660 so far

[cyperghost]

@obsidianspider Is there a change in difficult level if you go back to level 1

[obsidianspider]

@cyperghost I believe that the enemies are faster, but the goal is the same, to collect the train cars. I didn't get very far as the enemy train killed me almost immediately.
