Astro City (アストロシティ) is a multi-purpose arcade cabinet manufactured by Sega in 1993 as a successor to the Aero City cabinet.
The Astro City is a refined version of the Aero City, offering roughly the same features as its predecessor. This time a 29-inch screen is offered, while the cabinet as a whole weighs less and consumes less power. Astro Citys (and its close siblings, Astro City 2 and New Astro City) are among the more memorable universal cabinets - their design influenced the Sega Saturn's Virtua Stick (model HSS-0136) and are still in widespread use today.
Sega Logistics Service announced it would end service on the cabinets on March 31, 2017.[1][2]
