MotoPolo is a 1968 electro-mechanical arcade polo game by Sega. Players control a small foam motorcycle over a smooth glass "Decola" playfield and push around a ping pong ball trying to score on the other's goal in a way similar to air hockey (which released several years later in 1972). The machine has an 8-track player which makes motorcycle noises and a buzzer for early warning of game over. It is also the earliest arcade game with a joystick (predating Sega's Missile a year later in 1969).
MotoPolo was available for purchase from Sega Enterprises for ¥150,000. An additional background music system with electronic sound and an 8-track player could be purchased for an unknown price.[1]
