Yes, for me too. I think MAME now emulates every single coin-op I played in my life, often in the exact bootleg version too!
Thanks to Kold666 and Janez additional info, we can now have a map of the Planet Probe failed World Domination Plan:

(Now we know something more: Planet Probe can travel almost only along the Y axis of the world. map )
Hearing Elmac name brings back great memories. Tiziano Tredese, Elmac CEO, is a well known and respected figure in the Italian coin-op world since the Eighties (ie he was celebrated on videogame magazines). Thanks to him and to other great people, Italy had an amazing coin-op age, full of great weird Japanese stuff.
The Planet Probe I used to play in Trieste was distributed by a local dealer called General Giochi Roselli, which had lots of other Elmac-imported boards too.
