Help Remembering a 90s Arcade Game: yes, another one

[nightrnr]

I thought I posted this before, but couldn't find any record of it:

This is an arcade I never saw in an arcade; played it in a friend's garage (his dad fixed arcades for pizza joints and such). Year was 1992, so this was early 90s.

The game reminds me slightly of Stellar 7/Stellar-Fire, but that's not it (and that wasn't an arcade).
Details are a bit fuzzy, but...

What I remember:
-Free range, 1st-person Driving (not racing) Game
-Futuristic/Alien Planet/Barren/Post Apocalyptic
-Vehicle might be hovercraft
-Vehicle has Claw attached to front
-Claw Collects crystals (green and red, I think)
-Crystals restore Health and Ammo (I think)
-end of level has a battle/shootout at a building (you have to shoot people in windows/doorways from a stationary position)

I've tried to find info on this game for years, but nothing.

Good, someone to share this thorn in my mind
Let me know if you find out anything.

STUN Runner

Cyber Sled

Not Stun Runner, as that is not free range, and I remember that arcade well enough.

Not Cyber Sled, as it's more of a cockpit view (and by that I mean maybe a console base, not sure about if the window was restricted otherwise), and I think less 3D intensive).

I wish I remembered what you were actually shooting during the levels.

I'm sure it's a mid 80s arcade game, but I've had no luck with lists. I've played the game too.

Figures I get to a "name that game" thread fast enough and I can't think of it.

Is that all the information you have to go on? No manufacturer ?

Glad Cyber Sled was already mentioned. I'd say T-Mek it had green crystals but that was past 1992, not free range, and very similar to Cyber Sled.

Spent the last hour trying to figure this out because if I haven't played an arcade game, I must have read something about it to fill in the gaps of those I have not come across. Trivia like this is fun!

I'm sorry, That's an hour you'll never get back. It's nothing I haven't done myself though.

Nope, have no idea who made it. This was back before I even paid much attention to companies.

T-Mek does have a similar look. I think I even remember a radar on the console. But I'm pretty sure it was just a regular upright cabinet. However, the claw in front of the vehicle was always visible. Wasn't anything fancy, just a metal fork in the shape of the crystals to fit in.

Also, I'm positive it was early 1990's because I have other life events to compare it to. Very latest it could be is 1993, but I'm fairly sure '92 was the year.

Great Scott!!!
That's the one. Thanks Hobie .

I was beginning to wonder whether I dreamed up the game.

SO IT WAS MADE IN 1986...
Damn, I was off by quite a bit. It WAS 1992 when I played it though. For some reason I was impressed by it at the time. I guess I didn't get out much.
And yeah, it wasn't a claw exactly, it was an electrified slot for the crystals. I remember now.
For some reason, I couldn't remember whether it had a driving wheel or not

Still have good memories of the game though.

--EDIT--
Damn again, I didn't remember the light gun either. That would've been a good clue. How many arcades had BOTH a steering wheel AND a light gun?
Actually, I think I watched the arcade a lot more than played it, as my peers hogged all the time on it (not that I minded much).

Lucky & Wild comes to mind!
