Yep. Good eye.
Ummon:
At first glance, this looks to be a sort of sister game to Jackal....except that's Konami. Same year, though.
Epyx:
Yep a lot of similarities but to me more of a Mad max feel than military. It reminds me a lot of an Amiga game called Road Raider.

I only saw this game once during my arcade era, and I loved it. It was in a cocktail cab.
I only got to play it a few times, so I never got very good. It was on the other side of town, but I did make an effort to go there sometimes. However, it was moved after w little while and then I never saw it again.
This wants to be played on a vertical cab, at least if you are using a CGA monitor, because it needs so many vertical lines. This means that if you have a horizontal CGA monitor then you'll need to run the game in an interlaced video mode like 640x480, which won't look so good.
Despite this game being one of the reasons for me building a vertical cab, I still haven't played it extensively and so am still quite a noob at this game.

I run the game on my horizontally set WGD9800 and it runs fine at a non-interlaced 352x240 and looks great.
