Polynet Warriors is a first-person shooter by Konami. This game is highly notable due to it being their first 3D arcade game!
The objective is to shoot enough enemies to get more points than them when time runs out. If you die, you jump back in after the game shows what killed you, though this gives the enemies a point.
The game starts out with a choice of 3 courses, with the third one being the hardest. Each one has their own ending theme once cleared, complete with vocals!!
The game was also designed to be played with other people via linked cabinets, and it allowed for a maximum of 4 players!!
This game specifically was never released outside of Japan, but it served as the basis for the tank game Polygonet Commanders, which was released in the US. This game retains many features from Polynet, though it is very different, from not just controls but also how the single player mode plays out.
