Another very good update once again.

> Panic Road (1986) - Taito Corporation/Visco Corporation [Japanese text]

Interesting find with this. It seems Visco moves up to the front while the Taito name gets shoved to the back.
Since the game is currently considered not working the company name credits, in MAME source, is the secondary issue.

> Triple Punch (1982) - K.K. International, Inc. / New York Cantaura Corporation

I didn’t know the game had its own cab. I was guessing it was some kit conversion product being marketed.
Bezel piece is an odd artwork design. Even though the flyer is in poor condition, better than no flyer being found. I guess that particular want list flyer entry gets updated to : ‘better condition’ flyer on the search list.

Seeing the New York name reminded me of the old MW 2016 thread when the game Star Attack by Hiraoka New York Inc (not yet emulated) was discussed in the thread.

Also by coincidence, I had first mentioned Conic Electronic Football
in the same thread on 03/12/16 07:12 PM and the real Mattel Football was eventually fully working
and supported in MAME by Mar 23, 2022. Six years in the works. *kidding*

As before, the Mattel stuff happened because the Auto Race game designer donated his work notes to a museum group in 2021 and with that material available for public, Sean Riddle and hap were able to work with the available info in order to emulate the Rockwell chip and eventually emulate the first generation of the Mattel led games.
