'''''Cyber Troopers Virtual-ON: Operation Moongate''''' (1995), also known as ''VOOM'' or ''OMG'' for short, was first released in the arcades on Sega's [=Model2=] hardware. The arcade machine is a large double sit-down cabinet with a distinctive twin-stick control set. The story is that [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture in the future]] a series of malfunctions has caused a computer on the Moon armed with a [[EarthShatteringKaboom planet-killing]] [[WaveMotionGun cannon]] gone rogue. In an attempt to raise the forces to fight this menace, the government sends a number of remote operational terminals into the past, in the hopes that someone in the past (such as [[NoFourthWall you, the reader]]) would have the skills to pilot a [[HumongousMecha mecha]] into the moon-base and stop the rogue computer.

It was given a SegaSaturn release in 1996, which stripped down the visuals from the arcade version, but added a versus mode; and a Windows PC release followed later in 1997, which by default settings stripped down the frame-rate, but the settings can adjusted match the arcade version or better. The game later received an UpdatedRerelease for the {{PlayStation 2}} as part of the ''Sega Ages Collection'' (which unfortunately, [[NoExportForYou stayed in Japan]]) on October 30th, 2007. The [=PlayStation=] 2 version is considered the best release yet, as it contains several new features not present in the previous ports, as well as better graphics, crisper sound quality, new extra modes (including one where you can play as the final boss), and a new BonusBoss in the form of the original [[FemBot Fei]]-[[RobotGirl Yen]], which is permanently in [[SuperMode Hyper Mode]] without the health loss and can only be accessed if you beat the first eight Virtuaroids (nine if you fought Jaguarandi) in under nine minutes.

It can still be found in many arcades today, so they might still need our help. What are you waiting for? Get cracking! Your future grandchildren are depending on you! But if finding an arcade machine of game is too hard for you, Sega has recently announced a re-release of the game for {{PlayStation Network}} and XboxLiveArcade alongside other SEGA [=Model2=] arcade games (including ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'', ''[[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Virtua Fighter 2]]'', and ''VideoGame/FightingVipers'') with the ''SEGA [=Model2=] Collection'' in 2012.

''Oratorio Tangram'' comes in four flavors: Ver.5.2 was the first release on the SEGA [=Model3=]; Ver.5.4, which updated the interface and fixed many bugs of the first release; Ver.5.45 for the Sega Dreamcast, which was a port of Ver.5.4 with extra arenas from ''Operation Moongate'' (the Japanese version also had a color and emblem customization feature, which could be also be used on Ver.5.66); and finally Ver.5.66 for the arcade, which featured three new Virtuaroid variants and all the extra stages from the Dreamcast version. Ver.5.66 was also switched the software to the NAOMI board used in many Sega games today which updated the sound and graphic quality. On April 29th, 2009, an HD port of Ver.5.66 was released to Xbox Live Arcade world-wide for 1,200 Microsoft Points, featuring a color-edit mode, online multiplayer, tutorials, and the ability to customize your control scheme, but lacks the local split-screen versus mode of the Dreamcast port.

'''''Cyber Troopers Virtual-ON: FORCE''''' (2001), [[CodeName code-named]] [=VO4=], is the series' third installment debuting on the Sega Hikaru hardware. The action was slower than in ''Oratorio Tangram'' (although this was justified in the story that a reaction on the planet Mars made the non-native-built mecha move slower), but featured four-player simultaneous play in 2-on-2 battles. The game is considered a [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks step back]] from ''Oratan'' and was not well-received. Not to mention there's also a much smaller variety of Virtuaroids to choose from. To compensate for this, they gave the Virtuaroids ''several'' different variants, but only to make the game even more confusing and annoying. On December 21st, 2010, the game received an {{Xbox 360}} release like ''Oratorio Tangram'' did. However, it was released only in Japan as a retail game but the game is [[RegionCoding region-free]]. It includes a brand-new mission mode that's more-or-less ''Virtual-ON: MARZ''[='=]s campaign stripped of a storyline (read below).

There is also a ''MEMORIAL BOX 15'' premium edition to commemorate the series' [[MilestoneCelebration 15th anniversary]]. This package included an artbook that chronicles the entire ''Virtual-ON'' series, a 6-CD soundtrack that spans from ''Operation Moongate'' to ''MARZ'', and two bouncy rubber balls resembling Tangram's eye. Pre-orders and the premium edition of ''FORCE'' also apparently includes a bonus {{downloadable content}} code that allows players to [[BreastExpansion enhance the bust-size]] of Fei-Yen and Angelan. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer If only we were kidding]]...

'''''Cyber Troopers Virtual-ON: MARZ''''' (2003) for the [=PlayStation=] 2 is essentially a single-player focused version of ''FORCE''. While including a story mode which fleshes out the nature of the ''Virtual-ON'' universe, ''MARZ'' unfortunately stripped down the gameplay even further in several aspects (especially thanks to limitations of the [=PlayStation=] 2 hardware), causing fans of the earlier three entries in the series to [[FanonDisContinuity completely disown this game]]. The series made a notable appearance in ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Super Robot Wars Alpha 3]]'', with JackOfAllStats Temjin (strangely piloted by the MissionControl character from ''MARZ''), RobotGirl Fei-Yen the Knight (piloted by the second MissionControl character from ''MARZ'' and the Fei-Yen series' supposed creator) and AceCustom Virtuaroid Apharmd the Hatter (piloted by the HotBlooded Sergeant Hatter) as playable characters. They also appear in ''SuperRobotWarsK'' for the NintendoDS, which actually incorporates ''MARZ''[='=]s story. A [[http://www.siliconera.com/2012/11/20/virtual-on-marz-dashing-onto-playstation-3-in-spring-2013/ recent blog post]] on the ''Virtual-ON'' blogsite announces a re-release of ''Virtual-ON: MARZ'' will hit Spring 2013 for PlayStation3, which will also be compatible with Hori's new arcade-sticks for ''Operation Moongate''[='=]s re-release.
