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!
There's no need to use RetroPie to join the MAME ROW! You can play it on any platform you want.
Every Monday we create a topic at the "General Discussion and Gaming" forum section with the 3 random games to be voted. And on Wednesday we check the result.
The current week's game thread is just where there are more people interacting/talking about the game(s). Feel free to post your hi-score (or any content about the game) anytime you want on the previous "rounds" topics (links below). 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.
These "rules" are constantly being improved!
Previous Rounds

i feel sorry for the other two games, because as i read as far as 'captain commando' and that's when i stopped reading and voted for 'captain commando' :)
-
Screw Loose sucks. The commands are crazy and the game is boring and nonsense.
Magix / Rock is a Tetris with porn pictures as reward.
Captain Commando is a classic and dispenses reviews.
My vote goes to Captain Commando.
(pretending the bad talent show judge) -
@meleu Oh wow, I didn't know it was a game like that. :-/ I didn't bother to watch the video clip. I've removed Magix from the consideration.
-
@obsidianspider No problem. :)
BTW they aren't hentai, they're actual girls. -
@meleu Good point.

Too late! Look what you did:
-
This week's unanimous winner is Captain Commando!
-
When I read the game list, I thought we were playing Captain Fantastic, the pinball game
-
OK, this game is awesome.
I'm playing as a baby… in a mech suit… in another mech suit.
-
@obsidianspider this reminded me the encapsulation concept when I was studying TCP/IP protocol stack. :-)
-
@obsidianspider I might actually play this week. That sounds awesome
-
I forgot this game is basically a different version of Final Fight haha. Still fun though. Just beat it, which isn't too hard considering we all have unlimited "coins" haha. Should have kept track of how many "continues" I used, but I don't think it was a ton. Anyway, my high score was 157,259. Trying to get a picture of it, but it literally stays at the top of the hi-score thing for a second before scrolling down. Anyone beat my score yet?
-
@BGallagherLA while the point of MAME ROW is to try new games, high scores being posted are on one credit, not unlimited, and should have a screen shot. Yes, it's on the honor system, but it's about having fun. There are no prizes.
-
I didn't think there were prizes. Just thought it was people posting high scores. The above rules didn't specify one credit, but I suppose that makes sense. Apologies.
-
There are no prizes.
You're forgetting the respect and admiration that accompanies a MAME ROW victory. Not to mention the groupies.

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll be sure to update the written rules for next week. It's been "known" for a while, but we can't assume everyone has been involved each week.

This isn't a strict rule, but the number of groupies screaming your name and throwing their panties at you decreases if you use more than one credit.
There's no problem at all in using several credits, but you need to mention it. The "issue" here is that Captain Commando keeps your score after a continue, but this doesn't happen in every game (fortunately).
@obsidianspider if you'll write something about that in the "rules", I think it should be something like this:
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.

@meleu Done! (Please don't throw your panties at me)

I read in the rules that if it's more than 5 credits it's actually just an old person throwing dirty underwear at you.
Anyway, I might end up trying this one out this week. :) Fingers crossed!
