EightMan
Neo Geo AES · 1991
About this game
Murdered by criminals, Detective Yokoda's body is retrieved by Professor Tani and taken to his laboratory.
There, Tani performs an experiment that has failed seven times; Yokoda is the latest subject to have his life force transferred into an android body.

For the first time, the experiment succeeds.
Yokoda is reborn as the armor-skinned android 8 Man, able to dash at impossible speeds, as well as shape-shift into other people.
He shifts himself into Yokoda, this time christening himself as "Hachiro Azuma".
He keeps this identity a secret, known only to Tani and his police boss Chief Tanaka.
Even his girlfriend Sachiko and friend Ichiro do not know he is an android.
As 8-Man, Hachiro fights crime (even bringing his murderers to justice).
He smoked "energy" cigarettes, to rejuvenate his powers, that he carried in a cigarette case on his belt.
About Neo Geo AES
SNK's Neo Geo AES (1990) was marketed as the ultimate home arcade experience, using the same hardware as SNK's arcade cabinets — at an extraordinarily high price for both the console and its cartridges. That exclusivity is exactly why Neo Geo AES games remain among the most expensive in all of retro collecting; several titles routinely sell for well over a thousand euros in good condition.
Gamevaro tracks EightMan for Neo Geo AES with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding EightMan to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NEO release dates back to 1991.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
EightMan has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
