Manimal Arcade: Be The Beast

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A lost arcade flyer from 1983–84 promoting a shape-shifting action game based on NBC's Manimal, the live-action series starring Barry Bostwick and Melody Anderson. The cabinet promises players control of a secret agent who transforms into predatory animals to complete covert missions. Evidence suggests the game existed only in prototype form at a Tokyo amusement test location before licensing disputes halted production. Collectors of forgotten television tie-in games and 1980s bilingual arcade ephemera.
