Can anyone suggest what game I remember...

Hi,
I used to play a game at a cafeteria on military base in Japan from 1981-1983, but I don't remember its name. I do recall they had a Pengo, Zaxxon, and some others around it.
I believe it had a 3d type scrolling background, like it was done in layers and the layers would get closer to each other as they came at you or moved faster. I somewhat recall a transition between two modes of play where the players ship would roll over or something.
Does anyone remember a game like this from this time? Any ideas of what it might be?
Thanks,
Alan

Hi,
> Sounds like Tac/Scan.
It wasn't a vector, but a good guess I agree!
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Alan

Sounds like it could be Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom, Exerion or Mirax.

Good ideas guys, for the longest time I thought Exerion might be it, but it doesn't have the scrolling I remember. Mirax does look like the scrolling I remember, but I'm not sure it is the game I'm thinking of. Something like a cross between exerion and mirax. I was 12 at the time so perhaps my memory is at fault too...
Thanks,
Alan

You're sure it's not Buck Rogers or Zoom 909 then? or, maybe it's Ambush

I've checked all the suggestions and many of them are sure close to my description, but not what I'm thinking of. One other thing I remember is that the ship you were flying did some sort of 180 degree flip over as it was transitioning from one stage to the next - does that give any new ideas? Maybe I'm just not remembering it right though...
Thanks,
Alan
