Alice in Wonderland (Namco [system 1], 88)
Alice in Wonderland is in MAME under the Japanese version Marchen Maze. It's the last known undumped System 1 variant, and so is on the Most Wanted list.
New Bosconian (Namco [ever finished/released?], 82)
Not sure where the source of this entry ever came from - anyone? I don't think it's
referring to "Bosconian (new version)" in MAME.
Assassin (Namco [ever finished/released?], 86)
Developed in the United States.

SimDrive (Namco [system 22], 92)
Not released - used full size car like Ridge Racer Full Scale. Japanese
pronunciation had led to this being called "ShimDrive". More info is at
System 16.

Game description from Duncan:
CyberSled is a distant descendant of Battlezone. Two players (versus each
other or the computer) duke it out in hovertanks inside a closed arena. It
featured selectable vehicles, lots of multiplayer options and a training
mode for getting used to the dual-joystick controls. Graphics are similar
to Solvalou in that they're untextured polygons. The game was ported to the
PlayStation when that system was first released a couple of years later.
Of the System 21 games, Winning Run '91, Solvalou, Air Combat (US and Japan),
Starblade, and Cyber Sled are dumped.
More information (R. Belmont):
System 21 hardware lineup is:
CPU Board: 2 68000 CPUs (master/slave for main game), 1 6809 for sound (the
CPU board itself is the same as Namco System 2 already in MAME, including
the same memory map, sound chips and interrupt controller chip. The video
part of the memory map is of course different though).
Math board: *5* DSPs for 3D math (might be TMS32c020s, but I can't find
my S21 board scans now to double-check.) Each DSP has it's own RAM and ROMs
IIRC.
Video board: custom undocumented Namco polygon generator hardware
Have fun ;-)
Eunos Roadster Driving Simulator (Namco w/Mazda, 89)
Pac Attack (Namco, 92)
There are good Super Famicom versions of this Tetris-style game.
The gameplay is exactly the same between Cosmo Gang the Puzzle and
Pac Attack. This entry exists because I actually saw the game in an
arcade around this time - I believe it was at Southland Mall in Hayward,
CA. There seems to be zero information about an arcade release which makes
me wonder if it was a home console rigged to an arcade cabinet kind of deal.
Battalion (Namco, 93)
Pictures taken from
YouTube video.
Simplistic version of the earlier Namco game Tank Battalion. This is an example of a
"test board" that is sold in empty Japanese universal arcade cabinets, ready to have
separately purchased games inserted into them. However, by Japanese law, an arcade
cabinet must be sold with a game, thus stripped-down games such as this are included.
Some more examples are at Beep Game Center blog.
More information from Guru:
Namco Battalion is a small test board. I have one here. it contains only a single chip, it's a microcontroller with internal ROM. its similar (but not the same as) the type of chip that I trojan dumped from Namco NA1/NB1//System11 etc. aka C70/C75/C76. The number on it is C73.
Tekken 2 (Namco [system 11], 95)

Bust a Move 2 (Namco, 99)
Info from Guru:
Need to figure out how the game streams audio from the hard drive.
Info from MameC:
Bust-a-move 2 is missing a dump of the H8 MCU which controls the HDD and other things. unless someone steps up and does decapping and rom extraction for free it will never be dumped. same comment goes for all other games missing data in MCUs. Dumps are not going to happen.
