Stumbled upon an old video clip (from 1983) showing a coin operated game called "Herpes", no joke.

Pictures here.

Here's a link to the video I found this in.

It's in a coin op cabinet that looks pretty custom, and the graphics look similar to Atari 8-bit graphics. My gut says this is a bespoke game, with an Atari buried inside (like the Exidy Max-A-Flex system)

Can anyone provide any more information on this?

This is pretty fascinating that I can't even find much information on the series that this is from. Everything I can find about Arena It's all true is just that it exists and who was involved. Very little in the way of details.
