Congrats to the contributors over there.

This now resolves the Gaelco "Salter" entry and what the product actually was.....A mix of 90 percent physical workout with 10 percent gaming fun combination compared to Namco's Prop Cycle which was 10 percent gaming fun mixed with 90 percent workout.

I can see why Namco made sure the cycle cab design was to appear to be a fun product for the kids at arcades because if kids saw the cab as a regular gymnasium cycle unit with monitor built in, they would avoid it at all cost like as if it were a elementary grade school / PE class torture event (think the old PE class dodgeball sport).

btw: See old Gaelco thread....mainly dave00 's old post for reference.

Last Km was an arcade prototype while Salter not, It was done for a exercise equipment manufacturer of the same name, as a part of their product line. According to a Gaelco ex-worker, 'Salter game' was launched (around 1995) and It's possible they have elements in common between 2 games (or even the game reused to Salter). We're trying to contact Salter to get more info, catalogue or anything related.
