NEW PODOUKEN! The perfect 90s date night meant hopping into a sit-down arcade game based on buddy cop movies, grabbing the steering wheel with one hand, gun with the other, & having you & your passenger blast away the bad guys in gory pixelated glory with Namco’s Lucky & Wild.

This is the Jack Haeger sketch that led to CarnEvil. Originally called "Horror Show" it was pitched to be in the style of Haunted Mansion & use digitized puppets. Midway rejected the idea but the concept was later reworked into CarnEvil (see the poster on the bottom right).
