      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.

                              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?

                                      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.
