So Sixtoe has gone and added the photo already (a "soft" unannounced update) and also transcribed the instructions from the instruction card.
And based off the old description from Lyle Rains, and the instructions, Sixtoe determined that it is, in fact:
A video arcade version of the board game Crossfire.
(The original board game version Sixtoe has pictured at System16.com predates the 90's version, of course. I just know this commercial better.)
Trivia: this probably makes it the first ever board game-to-video arcade adaptation. My guess is that it was unlicensed, though.
Why I never made the connection, I'll never know.
