      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!

            Sorry didn't get much time this week.

            However, considering I had no clue what I was doing, I'm relatively proud of my 980 score!

              ... And then I worked out there were TWO fire buttons!

              2340!

              Seems to be a sort of Galaxian where you get to set up mines at the start.

              Still don't really understand it though.

                Didn't really get it either, but that's a good score!

                    I really didn't have any interest in this game until you mentioned that part. It does indeed play like 'Galaxian' with the added barrier elements of 'Space Invaders'. The ability to paint them yourself and having them be combustible is a nice addition. The basic firing mechanic and wildly erratic enemy behavior keeps it from being great, but I can definitely see myself playing this again sometime.

                      Blast, never can get to grips with embedding on the phone, 9880 if you were wondering.

                        You're too modest. With all the frenzied action and relatively low points per kill, it's a great score.
