It all comes down to cornering! Know the track, and attack!

Cyber Cycles is a racing game released by Namco Limited (current Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.) in 1995.

This game featured a large bike-style cabinet design that stood out at arcades at the time.

Set against the backdrop of near-future motorcycle racing, choose from a lineup of unique machines with different performance features, and cross the finish line ahead of all your rivals!

The Arcade Archives series is developed with the concept of faithfully reproducing classic arcade games, staying true to its original.

In “Original Mode,” you’ll find a variety of convenient features that make revisiting these classic titles even more enjoyable. These include difficulty and display settings, button remapping, rapid-fire options, the ability to create multiple save files at any time, and even a rewind function to undo your last move. Some titles also offer special settings that recreates the nostalgic atmosphere of CRT TVs back in the day. In addition, in HI SCORE MODE and CARAVAN MODE, you can compete for the best scores with players around the world through Online Rankings.

The Arcade Archives 2 series introduces a brand-new mode called “Time Attack Mode,” in addition to the “Original Mode,” “Hi Score Mode,” and “Caravan Mode” from Arcade Archives. “Time Attack Mode” focuses on how quickly you can complete the game, regardless of the score you achieve.

What’s more, with VRR (variable refresh rate) support, the gameplay can be reproduced even more accurately, closer to the original arcade experience.

Please enjoy these iconic arcade games that defined an era with the Arcade Archives series!
