From time to time, I play oldschool Arcade classics to beat my own scores or those of the other community members. Often the scores aren’t good, because we have just a couple of days (2 weeks cycle) before switching to the next game. Sometimes I play a few times only and can’t even pass the first or second stage. So, don’t expect world records at this place. Let’s say, these are beginner friendly highscores. 😂
MAME is an emulator to play those old Arcade games.
MAME Random Of The Week
Every two weeks a new set of games will be chosen randomly. The community decides through a poll which will get the focus to be played in the following days. Below are the games where I participated in, with a link to their corresponding threads in the MAME ROW forum. I play all games on my Rasperry Pi 3 with RetroPie. A big thank you to the user obsidianspider for organizing these little events.
Note: Click the title of a game to open its corresponding thread in the MAME ROW forum. Click the image to see the screenshot in full size. The table is sorted by date.

The game selection is based on MAME and Arcade games in general. Our main goal is to find new titles to try and just to have fun. Sometimes the conversation in the forum is equally interesting. Only a screenshot is required to submit a score, even tho we have no verification. So, if it sounds fun to you, then please come and visit us at MAME ROW.
