Manimal Arcade

Archive note

Arcade flyer advertising a fictional Japanese localization of the 1980s American TV series Manimal, reimagined as a playable cabinet game. The poster features Dr. Jonathan Chase (played by Christopher Walken in the original series) alongside his animal transformation abilities, with a sleek arcade cabinet and hybrid creature artwork dominating the composition. This artifact suggests an alternate arcade history where obscure television properties received dedicated cabinet releases in Japanese arcades during the mid-1980s — a collector's item for those tracking the crossover between American television licensing and Tokyo's arcade culture.
