Note

In addition, the Kansai Cycle Sports Center had another display unit, The Keirin (ザ・ケイリン), also known as the Micom Cycle (マイコンサイクル), developed in conjunction with Nintendo, which was installed in 1989 but has since been removed and lost as well. Keirin seems to have had the original game built in, but it is unknown what kind of game it was.
