Help remembering the name of this game

Hi

Im looking for a game that I played lot of time ago when I was a child on the Arcade machines

the game is a 3D shooter avancing on perspective ...(alike Microcosm CD32) but monocrome ( black backdrop and white lines)

The space ship should be like a butterfly and the enemy ships were simple rectangles or triangles

I remember that the cabinet was special.....it have a special handle to manipulate the ship

I estimate that this game was made between 1978-1980

This game and roms should be available for MAME....(I think)...so if anyone can HELP with the name


Thanks in advance

I will add more information

also the style of the unknown game is like Space Encounter:

[ Show youtube player ]


but much better and smoother and on a high resolution...maybe 1300x1000 or something like that....also is a vector game I think

The main ship is something alike Space encounter but
the enemy ships are polygons ...triangles...rectangules...don't remember very well

Sorry, I can't directly help.

But if you think it is playable in MAME, did you try looking in the Shooter/1st person, Shooter (flying)/1st person and Shooter/3rd person categories in a Mame32 build.
I had a quick look and there aren't many games listed there, it should not take you too long (if the game is correctly listed that is).
Or you can even check the years category.

@laser: If it's a vector shooter (and it's emulated in MAME), you'll find it somewhere among these:

But looking at the youtube video I'm thinking it could also be this:

I have had a quick look through all the "Vector" MAME games in 0.124a, and I couldn't see anything resembling your image.
