1) A shooter where the player stands and moves a "targetting screen" around with handles. The playing area is wider than the screen and cannot all be seen at once. The object is to defend your base and shoot down attacking planes that fly left and right. You complete stages and are awarded more weapons.
2) A Japanese tank game where there are four tanks on each side: one white, one green. Fight it out in a city arena.
3) A Japanese tank game with only one tank per side. Controllers are Battlezone handles with several buttons. There were three or four tanks to choose from: speedy, armored, normal, etc. Maybe you could customize? Sit down and duel the other player next to you, who gets his own seat and screen. The arena is a futuristic city/tron style. Was out in the arcades at the same time as Virtual On Cybertroopers?
Does MAME have support for these games?

One of these two might be Teraburst maybe? The first one almost sounds like good old Battlezone, but it clearly isn't.

I'm sure I've played this game, but I can't remember the title.

This is definitely Tokyo Wars.

Sounds like Cyber Sled, though it's a few years older than Virtual On.

Sounds like Turret Tower.

Me either! It's similar to Turret Tower, but a bit older as it uses raster graphics rather than digitized. Maybe 1988-1992 time period?

That's it! An easy one.

Yup, that's it! Cool! Thanks. Does MAME support both of these? I imagine the controls would be a problem, though.
