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!?

its kinda ironic, after his death, then only he is a hero. when he lived, nasty words were thrown at him. Jacko was one of those stars who was framed by Illuminati badly. rip Mike.

I remember first seeing the game in the arcade on the second floor of Klang Ocean supermarket so many years ago. Never had a chance to play it. Also never had a chance to play the Sega Megadrive version even though I own a SMD (clone). But ah well.

I did however see the movie while in Singapore on vacation in 1992. They showed it on TV there.

I liked MJ music a lot back when I was young. As I grew older I started to neglect his music. Now after his death I'm listening to the music again.

RIP MJ.

if this game was so bad why did you play & finish playing it? It was a good game back then, not the best... final fantasy back then not popular yet.

Ahh, the good old Sega Megadrive. I sure do miss it.

Have any of you guys tried downloading all the old classics from Xbox Live?
