Whats this game? Namco Aracde Air Cycling..

Hi,

Trying to find out some info about an old game in the arcades I recall. In 3D, mid-90s, BELIEVE it was by Namco. It involved someone cycling on a contraption with wings-you had to hit red balloons to gain time/clear a course. The cabinet itself was elaborate, with an imitation 'bike' you sat on and pedalled.

Anyone know? It might not even be Namco, that might be throwing me..

 

its from namco and its on mame, i played it a lot in the 90s
it was techincal awesome for its time

 

its namco yeah, the game is called propcycle.

 

I used to love Propcycle, was an awesome game.

You just missed one on eBay!

 

I love Propcycle, when i lived over in the netherlands there was an small bowling alley down the road with Propcycle and Sega Rally. Needless to say a good portion of my wages went into those machines.

 

Fantastic, cheers guys =)

 

I remember playing that in Sega World Trocadero about 12 years ago.

 

Wonderpark used to have this. And Galaxian 3: Project Dragoon (the scaled-down six-player version). And go-kart racing. And all the pinball you could ever want.

...They closed the place down, and nowadays I can't think of a single reason I'd ever want to go back to that mall again. They took away everything that made it awesome. T_T;

 

Wow, this was one of my favorite arcade games and I had completely forgotten about it. Doesn't look as fun now heh

 

Great game, loved the fact it actually blew wind at you...unless the one I used to play was right under the air con ahaha, never crossed my mind!?!

Actually just read the KLOV entry, great feature!

 

Nope, it really blew air at you.

Dammit, I want my Wonderpark back. T_T

 

I'm sure they had it on an episode of Gamesmaster back in the '90s (loved that show).
Michael Fish, a BBC weatherman, was playing it and if I remember, Dominik Diamond was ripping the piss out of him.

I'll rummage round my old vhs tapes and see if I can upload a capture of it.

 

i played it once when i was a kid, and I remember loving it

 

Can't remember seeing it in any of the arcades I went to, looks like fun though.

Found the tape, here it is being used for a challenge on Gamesmaster:
