Manimal Arcade — Beast Mode

Coming soon

Archive note

Arcade flyer advertising a fictional cabinet tie-in to the 1980s NBC series Manimal, wherein protagonist Dr. Jonathan Chase transforms into various animals to fight crime. This artifact imagines the show's domestic run extended into the arcade ecosystem — a common cross-media strategy of the era that never materialized for this particular property. The cabinet promises players the chance to 'be the beast,' channeling the show's shapeshifting premise into quarter-fed gameplay. Collectible for enthusiasts of lost 80s transmedia IP and alternate arcade histories.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
