Who ya gonna call? The Monday Morning MAME Club! OK, so it's not catchy.
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.
In celebration of the recent release of the new Ghostbusters game for all the modern consoles, I'd like to thank jb143 for the suggestion of The Real Ghostbusters! This is a hard, but fun, fast-paced run-n-gun style game.

As a bonus, there are two versions of the rom out there. A 2-player, and a 3-player one. I have sent our sources both, you need the 2-player one to play...but, if you are able, you can get three people playing this game if you'd like!
Speaking of ROM sources...
Flack will be hosting at http://www.robohara.com/mameclub/
and 2DSkillz will have the games ROMs at http://www.retrogoggles.com/
Now, I'm going to be gone most of this week, it's Origins time in Columbus! 5 days of boardgaming bliss!! But, I'll try to check in from time to time.
*Announcement*
Looking forward to next week...
I want to say that next week I'm making an executive decision to break a rule I made week one. I've been concerned about controller issues, so I've tried (and asked all of you) to avoid picking games that you can't play (or are extremely tough to play) with just a keyboard. I hope it's ok, but I'd like to break that rule for one week...because I finally have a gamepad , and I want to play some dual stick shooter goodness. In fact, if we're playing a dual stick shooter, let's make it a double dual stick shooter week. Yeah, you heard me.
Two games...my favorite 2 stick game (not going to reveal that yet ) and a 2 stick game picked by the group. So, start thinking about it...and I'll ask for nominations later in the week.
Previous MMMC choices: Jump Coaster, Rampart, Jungler, Ninja Emaki, Port Man, Psycho Soldier, Metamoqester, Gunbarich, Sengoku (series), Snacks'n Jackson, Metro-Cross, Moon Shuttle.
Have a great week.
