The original manufacturer of Star Castle, Cinematronics, sell the rights to two italian companies: Elettronolo (who renamed it Stellar Castle) and Zaccaria (who renamed it Space Fortress). Both versions are emulated in MAME.

Red Robin

First original coin-op by Elettronolo, it runs on Kaneko Fly Boy hardware.

Quiz

A trivia game based on Trivia by Grayhound Electronics (the hardware is identical, only questions, answers and other writings are changed).
From 1986, many updates were released.
MAME emulates the 1991 version, featuring questions about 1990 World Soccer Championship, and a bootleg of the 1986 original version. Also another bootleg - with different colors - is emulated: is called Video Quiz.

"Gioca Quiz" by Elmac can also be a version of this game, since the title screen of Quiz says: "Per divertirti Gioca Quiz" (to have fun, play Quiz). This information is unconfirmed.

Another game who runs on Grayhound Electronics hardware; but his gameplay is completely different, and it's based on the famous "Wheel of Fortune" game.
Elettronolo produced many versions of this game; sadly, is rare to found one without various typos and errors, especially in answers. MAME does emulate the 4.0.4 version (but the colors seem to be wrong).
