In 1992 / 1994 Manley & Associates were working on a Tarzan platform game for the Super Nintendo, that would have been published by Gametek. The project was later cancelled, as we can read from Clayton Kauzlaric‘s blog:
The project was pretty close to content complete when it was canned. We had stumbled along for a good five months without any real design, apart from what the artists and programmers cobbled together on the fly. The game’s cancellation may have been related to the way good ol’ Tarzan methodically slaughters his way through the endangered species list over the course of the game. The fact that doing so wasn’t even fun just sealed the deal.
Rod_Wod found many screens from the game in some old magazines and Celine was able to find another image in Console Plus issue #34
Images:
U64 is an archive with articles, screens and videos for cancelled, beta & unseen videogames. Every change & cut creates a different gaming experience: we would like to save some documents about this evolution for curiosity, historic and artistic preservation.

Interesting find Tracy! Probably its value depends from how much complete it is, could you make some videos or take screenshots from it, to have a better idea of its state?
