Decathlete (デカスリート), known as Athlete Kings in Europe, is a Sega Titan Video game developed and published by Sega. However, it saw most of its success as a Sega Saturn title, released later in the same year. Sega Logistics Service announced it would end service on the arcade machines on March 31, 2017.[8][9]
