above quoted from another thread. help me out, now that i've found mame, i'd be eager to give this game another go.captain asshat wrote:**oh shit** i just remembered something. a pizza hut, when i was 8-9 years old (early 90's), had a vert shooter. war themed, but with identifiable characters (not that they were popular, they just weren't anonymous like psikyo tended to keep their striker's pilots). i remember some of the art on the cab. surrounding the screen were boxes with pilot information (sporting a picture of each). the game was completely in english as well, only worth mentioning because even in this hole, we've got some japanese pcbs floating around in the few machines there are.
i can narrow it down a bit too, i think.
the character you chose would travel around the world (form level to level). but the game was rather serious in its presentation (i.e. not sonic wings like in any way).
another thing i remember the game had some kind of "story" element, as i remember being bored with all the talking.
