I finally executed an idea that I'd been considering doing for some time, not only to lower my time investment when picking the next game, but to also let fate have a hand in picking the next game:
Pick the game above or below the last game!
It was this or Hopper Robo, which was cute and Apple ][ish but not adequately entertaining.
High Score Competition Rules and Scoreboard (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,143138.0)
-------------------
Game Name: Horizon (don't call me Moon Patrol 2!)
ROM Name: horizon
-------------------
MAME DIP Settings (see my screen grab from 115u2):
Lives: 3
Bonus Life: 40k & every 80k
Compare against http://www.solvalou.com/subpage/arcade_dips/H/horizon (http://www.solvalou.com/subpage/arcade_dips/H/horizon). This document says 40k & 120k, which might be equivalent. Let me know what our other MAME revs show here.
Controls:
4-way joystick (might technically be 8-way, but I did a lot better with 4-way), fire button

Opener: 82,500 after a few games. Man, this fun!
(Oh, if you don't get into the top 3 scores, you better take a picture right quick, because the score is no longer displayed after the GAME OVER screen, & the attract mode doesn't seem to ever show any but the top 3 scores!)

High Score Competition #160: Hopper Robo. One of my faves.

29,500
Interesting game. Too bad the music isn't as good as the original.
EDIT: 49,400

How far along we're you to be in the 80,000 range?

Last-minute entry to really shake up the standings.
The pressure is too much. I need to keep refining my game to stay ahead of all the wolves nipping at my heels. Intense competition this time around!!!
99,600

Yeah, sorry man. I really tried, but I just couldn't get into this game. No worries though.

I'd say that Jason was referring to the lack of competitors, not your score.
The scoreboard.
