Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is the name of several video games created by Sega in 1990 that incorporate the personage of and were co-developed by Michael Jackson. The arcade version and home versions differ in terms of gameplay, but the story and concept remain constant. The story, which is taken from the Moonwalker film, follows Michael, using various music and dance related abilities, on a quest to save kidnapped children from the hands of the evil "Mr. Big". The games incorporated synthesized versions of the musician's hits, such as "Beat It" and "Smooth Criminal". The games have now achieved cult status and are remembered for being a memorable point in Jackson's change to a different stage persona from Thriller, to Bad.


Remember playing this game on the ol' Genesis/Megadrive? thumbup.gif

When I was playing Henry Hatworth on the NDS and at one point Henry can switch into his robot suit, it clicks in my mind of MJ turning into a robot from this game biggrin.gif

Anyone see the Angry Video Game Nerd review of the Genesis version?
I tried it on an emulator after watching that,and I cried.

I loved Thriller,but that game just ripped me apart.
HOW COULD YOU!?
