+1!

One possible alternative is to rearrange it into something like a Wiki, were people can just contribute to it.

Of course, if you haven't got a lot of time now, I'm guessing that'd be pretty much out too  :)

The thing is, positioning anything as a "{blank} of the day/week/month/etc" automatically imposes the pressure of a deadline, and given that this is all just fun stuff anyway, that might have been too much.

Besides, Game of the day doesn't have to mean every day, It could just as easily mean "Game of today, when I had a few minutes to write something up!"  ;)

BTW, did you ever write up Atari Quantum?

Just ran across it at the texas pinball fest. very strange game, pretty hard and definitely unique. I'd never see it before.

When I initially got bit by the MAME bug about a year ago and caught wind that was even possible, the first site that I stumbled across that explained how to create a MAME cabinet was several years old.  But the content was enought to get me excited that this was even a reality.  That site led to others, to here, and then yours.

Old static site but still had good relevant information.  Your game of the Day/week/whatever is still valid after you post it, and can still serve a purpose.

Luck!

Sad to see one of the most interesting MAME sites to die :(

My all-time grail game.  Took me many years to find a nice one, but finally got a dedicated one about 5 years ago.  Played it in the original test location at University of Illinois in '81  (U of I was awesome then for games, it was the biggest college near Chicago).  Totally simple controls (just a trackball) and fascinating.  Haven't made it a GOTD (was saving it) but listed as part of my hof for games for nerds here...
