of playing it last year

Yea, me too. I was sooo addicted to this damn game. It was like Crack Cocaine to an 8 year old kid like me back then.

There was an earlier Moonwalker game as well for home computers by US Gold, made during the time of the movie itself.

16bit:


8bit:


It was pretty typical license game dross of the time with compromised playability, and where all the levels were basically just separate sub-games. The Smooth Criminal level was probably the most playable, but the game was short and got pretty bad reviews also on the overall.

Actually, it's odd that I bought the game myself for C64 in the 80s. I'm not sure how familiar I was with Michael Jackson's music as a kid (I liked KISS and such), but for some reason I still got that game tape somewhere. I don't really remember buying it either, altough I still have more vivid memories of purchasing all those games as it was always a pretty special moment back then.

Love it!

I rulled the 8-bit version for the Sega Master System

Actually these days I can't get past those diagonally flying zombies. That's a pretty early level.

i remember seeing the arcade version of this back when it first came out...man, i feel old.

This game and the song "Dancin' Machine" both make me feel old. I feel your pain. I feel your pain.

I'm 26 yo...and I played the game alot. The best of living in the Azores at the time was that we got stuff years later than it's actual release.

Man I had that on my computer a while ago. HARD.

Sega should put this on one of their "Sega Classics" compilation games that they release on the DS and Nintendo Wii store

bboy87 said:

I bet they would if it wasn't for all the copyright drama.

A couple of gaming magazines have voted it one the worst video games ever but it would be a welcome addition because it has a cult following.


Not to mention MJ fans would buy it immediately.

With all that money MJ fans would cash out, Sega could return to making consoles

I seem to remember a rumor of a Moonwalker 2 video game. Come to think of it, I might have made it up.

Vanilli said:

No it's true. Sega was making Moonwalker around 1992 or 1993 but cancelled the release

bboy87 said:

I thought so!

Imagine Moonwalker with songs from Dangerous...talk about the ideal video game.

Vanilli said:

I wonder what the level for "Keep It In The Closet" would look like..
