Cycraft[]

Initial D Arcade Stage Ver. 3 had a special edition for use with Sega and Simuline's Cycraft cabinets. Cycraft was a motion simulator used with racing games, which moved the unit around depending on what was happening in the game, giving the user a more immersive experience. This version lacks a card reader, and so player data cannot be saved.
