Week 2: Electric Boogaloo
Club Rules
01. You do not need to sign up for the club. If you want to participate, simply download the game of the week and post about it!
02. At the end of the week, I will randomly select a game from a list of nominations.
03. The current MAME Club Pick of the Week can be found every Monday stickied at the top of the Arcade Alley.
Welcome everybody to week 2 of the new and improved(??) Monday Morning MAME Club. I think week 1 went well. The only real downside is that we only got three nominations for this week, so the random number generator didn't get much of a workout.
So, what is this week's game? It's a game probably best known to people for its home versions...the Atari classic Rampart

Now, we've got two...count them...two sources for the MAME Club ROM files!
Flack is back with hosting at http://www.robohara.com/mameclub/
and 2DSkillz will have the ROMs like last week on his blog at http://www.retrogoggles.com/
Now, you may notice 2 ROM files... you need rampart.zip to play, but Rampart was originally a trackball game in the arcade. And while it works with the keyboard...control is a little imprecise at key times. So there's a joystick version...that's what the other file is for. So try them both, and tell us what you like better.
OK, I think that's it! Have a great week, and... MAME ON!
Oh yeah, one more thing...if you're just coming into the MAME Club, and would like to see the other games we played, I will keep a list at the bottom of each weekly post, and if you search the arcade forum for "MMMC Club" you will find the older threads (as I will rename them that once their week is done to make finding them easier). ANd by all means, if you have more to add to the older games, do so!
