Michael Jackson: Moonwalker for the Sega Genesis

Posted by dextr0us on June 13th, 2007 filed in .games, .old

So a co-worker and I are obsessed with 80’s video games. To that end, we came across this nugget of greatness on Wikipedia:

An ad scan for Michael Jackson’s moonwalker.

Moonwalker

I’d just like to pause for a second, and realize that no one should be enticed by a game that highlights:

Lame game.

But, then we found this awesome, awesome, awesome part of the story:

That’s right, Michale has to search through caves and caverns to find the (not just any ol’ children) CAREFULLY KIDNAPPED CHILDREN. Why are they kidnapped carefully? Not just regular kidnap victims? Michael… I think there’s something going on here.

    I remeber playing this game as a kid. Weird. Remember when 7-Up had a video game? And so did Domino’s Pizza?

    I too remember this game. I also remember kind of enjoying it, but then again maybe I was just wowed by the awesome Genesis graphics.

    Hi Randall,
    I just wanted to point out that those kids were carefully HIDDEN kidnapped children, not carefully kidnapped. ;)
    Anyway, how are things? Calah told me she saw you in campus before school ended. Whats new? Tyler and I are still in Logan for the summer, but then we are moving to Ogden (can you believe it?) for a year. Holla - lets catch up
