T-Mek is a 2-player, sit-down, virtual reality fighting arcade game. Each player can choose their MEK (a hovering tank with special weapons and abilities). One player can play against 6 AI players and the occasional Boss, or two players can play against each other and 4 AI players. There is a special Tournament mode where two players can go one on one. Up to 3 T-Mek cabinets can be linked for 6 player competitions. T-Mek was manufactured by Atari Games in 1994. T-Mek was also available for the Sega console as a Genesis cartridge, it required the 32X expansion. The Sega version was poorly reviewed. T-Mek was also available as a PC game, with fair reviews.
