Cosmic Tyson: The Arcade Frontier

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A 1983 Japanese arcade flyer announcing the debut of "Cosmic Tyson," a space-combat game featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson as a suited astronaut piloting a vectorial starfighter through asteroid fields. The poster represents a lost arcade cabinet line that merged celebrity endorsement with hard sci-fi gameplay—a cross-cultural marketing experiment that never reached Western arcades. Sought by collectors of Japanese arcade ephemera and alternate-history gaming history.
