I don’t think Cave Speeder was unreleased, it was just uncommon. It required the IDYA enclosed, two-player motion cabinet, and used LaserDisc video. The IDYA was big, heavy, expensive, used a lot of power, and had a bunch of mechanical components that needed maintenance and could fail; LaserDisc players in arcade machines were not exactly known for there reliability, either. This meant it was confined to theme parks and larger arcades. In Australia, both DreamWorld on the Gold Coast and Sega World in Darling Harbour had IDYA cabinets running Cave Speeder. It would have been hard for an unreleased game to show up in multiple locations outside Japan like that.
