Dennou Senki Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram Special (電脳戦機バーチャロン スペシャル) was a medium-scale attraction based on Dennou Senki Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram M.S.B.S. Ver. 5.2 that was available at Joypolis venues in the late 1990s.
Running on Model 3 hardware like the original game, the attraction is believed to have used a cut-down version of Oratorio Tangram, while retaining its 2-player functionality with the inclusion of two linked units, and an extra 50 inch projection screen displaying gameplay stationed between the two units.
The design of the units took inspiration from the older R360 cabinets, something noted in some coverage of the attraction. However, their range of motion was significantly smaller, allowing for only 30 degrees of left and right rotation on one axis, as well as limited seat movement of 5cm both up and down and left and right.
Virtual-On Special debuted at Umeda Joypolis on its opening day of 28 November 1998. Its time at the location was short, and by 18 April 1999 had been relocated to Shinjuku Joypolis. It is thought to have been removed around a year later just a few months before the venue's permanent closure that August, and no further records exist of it subsequently appearing in any other Joypolis locations.
