Overview
Virtual On (1996) is Sega AM3's twin-stick mech battle game, in which two Virtuaroids fight one-on-one.
Deep Dive
Each Virtuaroid carries three weapons — left, right and centre — and is piloted with two joysticks. It mixes action, shooting and fighting in head-to-head duels.
Developer Story
Sega AM3 built it on the Model 2 board, and it reached Japanese arcades around the start of 1996. Game Machine named it the most successful dedicated arcade game of that March, though it was not popular in US arcades. Saturn and Windows versions followed.
