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!

@obsidianspider Space Invaders ;)

I have the "Rampage" Arcade1Up cabinet with three player Gauntlet and it's not bad. It's old school fun with multiple people, but definitely not a single player experience. It was definitely programmed to suck coins from kids pockets.

Voted for the space invaders clone, couldn't really get into the NES/PC-10 version of Gauntlet.

[IanDaemon]

@VictimRLSH Yeah that version...isn't the best.

@IanDaemon Wait tactics were ridiculously effective in the NES version, I think walls-to-exits was less than 60 seconds compared to 180 in the arcade.
