I loved motorcycles before I understood them — this is exactly the kind of game that phrase was made for. Cyber Cycles' cabinet, that tilting cockpit, told its own story the moment you sat down. This isn't about the first time I saw a scene, it's about the first time I rode one, and this re-release brings that memory right back.

A 330-yen upgrade is so cheap it almost makes me suspicious.

Never heard of Cyber Cycles before, what kind of game actually was it?

1,500 yen for this is a steal, buying it the second it drops.

The sequel version is 1,800 yen, worth double-checking before you buy.

I remember lining up for Cyber Cycles at the arcade, brings back memories.

Makes me wonder how much power those big arcade cabinets actually drew back then.
