MAME ROW #84 - Quartet

SuperFromND

Oh hey, I actually know this one!

I found out about it when I was browsing game OSTs on YouTube, and stumbled upon it's soundtrack (which is pretty good by the way!), booted it up in MAME just to check it out, and ended up having a lot of fun with it.

~~Just a shame they never ported it to anything.~~ Never mind, apparently there were some home computer versions in Europe and a Master System version.

Oh, and also there was apparently a sequel which was more of an expansion kit than a proper second game, but it did have more levels and the ability to select a character.

Hey guys, I will be posting my score here, has the "Mame Row" started?

retroprogrammer

also I am a little confused by the rules, can I only play the game once and then post the score here or do I post my highest score?

@retroprogrammer You can play as many times you want. Mame ROW starts every Wednesday, so whenever the selection is made, it's basically on.

@retroprogrammer If you have a good score, then screenshot it and post it. If you beat your own score, then post it. You can do this as many times as you want. This section is not strict and there is no competition. Its just like "post what you got", for the sake of fun, exploring the new randomly found game.

The reason you may be confused about the "play once" is, you misunderstood the sentence. It is meant for the arcade emulation using only 1 credit/coin. The way I do is, if I lose all my lives, I restart the emulation and put a single coin in, start the game, do my work and screenshot it and then restart again.
We have to trust you, that you don't cheat. It is just for fun here.

@mitu @thelostsoul okay I understand now :)

Wow, Quartet, one of the first games I saw in a C64, me and my cousin spent hours on playing the conversion, this, Spy Hunter, Mutant Camels and Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Must stop playing with my theme I'm trying to edit and actually play some games.
