Forum Tournament Round 2: We're going to Plaid
-
Well, my suggestion is Space Invaders. I have never played the arcade version of this game. I just played the Atari 2600 version when I was a little kid.
-
IMO pick a random game from the 0.78 romset. give us the possibility to play something new/weird!
-
@dankcushions I liked the idea. But how do we do the randomization logic?
-
I think I've found something interesting here:
https://www.random.org/lists/But we have to make a clean 0.78 game list (no clones, no mahjong, etc.).
-
@meleu could someone else manage the poll this week? I see a lot of homework in my future

very simple to to via the compatibility list.. filter by only 'blank' in the parent column.
or just keep generating a random number between 3-4722 until you have a game that is not a clone, mahjong, etc.

@Lyle_JP Yeah! I used to play it on MSX. Green Beret or Rush'n Attack.
-
@dankcushions could you do it for the next round? It surely would be much appreciated.

sure! ok, i filtered by blank-for-parent, which gives me only parent roms: list of 2681
now, random generated a number 1-2681 using https://www.random.org/
drum roll
258 = bosconian (namco 1981)
i've heard of this! hope it works in mame2003? currently it's 'untested' on the compatibility list.
-
@dankcushions look at that map/radar!! Pretty similar to the New Rally X! (well, it's a Namco game from the early 80's) LOL.
Thanks! I'm going to start practicing! -
The ROM file is bosco.zip, I'm using the .37b5 version on lr-mame4all and everything is fine.
-
"BLAST OFF" :)
-
i never submitted my actual high score from last round but i am going to try to participate in this one!!!
-
One thing I think should be mentioned here: @UDb23 made a cool overlay for New Rally-X.
It can be found here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5988/yet-another-overlay-new-rally-x -
@BuZz I think this thread deserves to be in the MAME Random Of the Week area too. It's part of the history. :-)

Done and done. Are there any other stragglers out there?

Maybe this one: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7679/how-can-we-make-mame-row-better
-
There we go. It's nice to have all these in one place. There are plenty of great games I missed out on and looking them up in the future will be much easier now.
-
So, when's Forum Tournament Round 3?

@itsnitro you can see the list in this post:
