What Was That Game?

[Megatog615]

I remember once playing a game in an arcade where you control a hover tank with two joysticks. The game was 3D and had sprite graphics like Doom.

Anyone ever played this game before? What was it called?

Cybersled

That narrows it down a bit (combined with the dual-joystick control).

Ignoring the "sprite graphics" part, Cybersled is an option (fun game too), but the first I thought of was Vindicators.

Doom-like graphics though? That'll take some thinking...

The first thing I thought about was also Vindicators, I recently played it at a friend's C64.

Assault? Loved that one as well.

It wasn't any of those games.

The arcade machine itself completely surrounds you when you get in it, and is painted with dark purples and blacks.

The game kind of had a storyline and you were briefed before each battle. The gameplay was kind of a Quake-style arena deathmatch. The game was viewed in first-person.

The only one I can think of, with tanks, is Battlezone, the only other one I can think of (with two joysticks) is Virtual On

No it was in first-person, and it definitely was not Battlezone(I would have remembered otherwise).

This must be a pretty obscure game.

EDIT: Found it! The game is called T-Mek.
