There was a Lemmings prototype by Data East in 1991 which was field tested but never released:
 
I think Star Raiders, which was made for the Atari home consoles would've made a great Atari VECTOR arcade game BITD.

Yeah, I think Star Luster was undoubtedly an updated Star Raiders, but I would've liked to have seen it as a Vector game.

A vector Star Raiders on the Star Wars hardware with the twisty grip controller would have definitely been interesting. I'm guessing Star Raiders wasn't considered for the arcades because a typical game would last too long. Too bad, Star Raiders was a great game and I believe it was the best selling game for the Atari 400/800 family.

Star Raiders was AWESOME! and the Star Trek TOS might be the closest thing we have to it. And that's a great star trek game.

In the spirit of Batman 66 pinball, it would have been cool to have a Batman and Robin arcade game that looked cartoony with big WOMP! and BAM! when you really socked some guy or swung from a rope to kick them.

I would have also loved a Rockford Files game where you had to beat up someone, chase/escape the bad guy in a car chase, and then solve the mystery. But maybe that would have been a better computer game.

Now that you mention it, a Star Trek: The Next Generation vector game would have been an interesting sequel where the Enterprise-D battled Romulan Warbirds and the Borg but TNG came a few years after the demise of vector games.
