CloseBring it back.
We already have latest games, why do we need latest images as well? Random screenshot was really the only time I ever wound up checking out, well... random games that weren't being actively hyped.
You could also click send me in coach, but that's like 3+ clicks from the front page. It may sound silly, but I will never click send me in coach. I click on random screenshots ALL THE TIME because I think "hmm...what's that game" and it's one click. The difference between three clicks and one click matters.
Bring back random screenshots.
I can't be the only one who feels this way. (Unless I am.)

Latest Images is meant to replace "Post your Screenshot" threads. Post a screen and it gets seen on the front page for everybody to see instead of just forum-goers! Latest games and latest screenshots aren't guaranteed to be in alignment and aren't meant to provide the same info (although it happens when a new game is submitted due to the whole three screeens rule)
(Not arguing against random screenshots, I think they can be as neat as random games. I'm just saying Latest Games and Images aren't the same thing)

I was kind of partial to the random screenshots as well. I'm not going to say that they should replace Lastest, god no, that's a good feature. It can't be all that hard to make them work with the latest though.
I liked Random Screenshots, but I also like Latest Screenshots.
For now, you can sate yourself by clicking the Engine pages:

Ankylo is working on a small revamp on the frontpage and I can bring this to his attention, but in any event nothing will materialize for some time, so be patient.

Split the difference, put the "Send me in coach!" button on the front page.

I don't like latest screenshot because it just becomes a massive flood of one game when a new game is posted.

This. Maybe one random screenshot from each latest batch?
Random screenshots were, for me, better. Like Max, I actually found some interesting projects from them.
is there any reason we couldn't fit both on the front page? like two of each- two random, two latest?
I faintly recall random screenshots imparting heavy stress on the server. I could be remembering wrong, and all it is is theoretically a problem with implementation, but that's something to keep in mind.
As for my opinion? Yes to random screenshots. They give seldom-seen games a split-second of frontpage publicity and there's no reason the feature can't co-exist with latest screenshots.

I think some of the solutions in this thread are pretty good ones. Specifically, the ones that let me see random screenshots on the front page in 0-1 clicks, preferably 0.
