A friend was describing an arcade game that, for the life of me, i couldn't peg.  The game he described sounded something like Operation Wolf or Thunderbolt or the T2 or Aliens gun shooters, but he said the cab had a 360 degree veiw with like a periscope type of control???   

The only game I remember that had 360 was an old coin op that was called like UFO or Invasion or something like that, it might even have been from the late 70's or early 80's era...I never played, just saw 1 example of this cabinet in a NY State arcade and it was Oout of Order.....but I don't believe that is the same game, or is it?

Do any of you recall a similar game?  He said you're shooting bullets from like a turret.....enemy guys you could mow down and then later shoot rpg type things at weapons, but the 360 degree view is still throwing me...anyone have an idea?

Sir, you were needed at the bar last night with this prize information :)

No wonder I didn't recognize it, I've never seen this before.  THANK YOU!
