Action Fighter is an overhead vehicular combat game released by Sega in 1986.

It mimics the style of other games such as Spy Hunter and Traverse USA. The player begins the game riding a superbike. In subsequent levels a sports car, jetski, helicopter and Formula One racing car can all be driven, as seen in the game's title screen. All of the vehicles are fully armed to deal with enemy vehicles and gun emplacements intent on stopping the player's progress. The helicopter levels play as a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up and resembles Xevious.

Take the motorcycle from Hang On, equip it with hi-tech weaponry and give it the ability to transform itself into an aircraft or car - and you've got ACTION FIGHTER!

Dodging, shooting or bumping into the vehicles soon gets very repetitive, even with a few surprise elements. Not enough overall content.

Featured by Retro Gamer magazine in its "Games that Weren't" section, Combat 2 was cancelled during the Video Game Crash of 1983. In 2001, 200 prototype copies surfaced and were sold at the Classic Gaming Expo.

BOX DESCRIPTION:
The year is 2037. Mankind has finally tired of fighting massive wars with millions senselessly slaughtered. All this has been replaced by a new kind of warfare: the Combat Duels. Any time diplomacy between two nations fails, they resolve the conflict via the Duels, where two individuals battle head-to-head for their country's honor. These individuals are called Combatants, and they've trained hard and fought thousands of test duels to earn the right to be the champions for their nations. Combat Two will put you in the role of such a Combatant, a mighty hero of the virtual battlefield. Prove to your country that you are worthy of fighting in the Combat Duels and lead them to victory!

Cosmo Tank is a video game developed by Asuka Technologies and published by Atlus. It was released in 1990 for the Game Boy; with most of the gameplay programmed as a 2D shooter with some levels resembling that of a 3D shooter video game.

The player controls an armoured fighting vehicle from either a first-person perspective or a third-person perspective; depending on the level design. All games begin on a planet's surface with an overhead view. When the player enters a tunnel, the view switches to first-person. After destroying the Life Core inside a tunnel, the player travels to a new planet through a vertically scrolling stage.

Cosmo Tank has three modes. In quest mode, the object of the game is to destroy Alien Life Cores on five planets to free them from Master Insect. Players can earn experience levels in the quest mode by defeating enemies. The maximum amount of experience points that a player can earn is 999; which allows players to reach the level cap of 6. In training mode, the player practices in a closed area and is given a ranking. In vs. mode, the Game Link Cable is used to allow two players to race to defeat the alien leader.

After either beating the game or acquiring a game over, the player is given a rank that shows how far he made it in the game along with his target score. The lowest rank in the game is a skull and crossbones (signifying a casualty on the battlefield).

With FIRE & FORGET 2, prepare to experience the most extraordinary arcade game ever designed for a console! You will have to pilot the THUNDER MASTER II, capable of 850 horsepower on the road and able to convert itself into a genuine airborne attacker, both equipped with ionic phasers and missile launcher.

Sad the storyline, let's just stick a gun on the car and see how it goes! Well it doesn't go too badly, as it happens.
