Developed and published by Sega in 1990
Another classic Sega arcade release that happens to be a collaboration with the King of Pop himself.
In gameplay terms the concept is sound enough, but the isometric perspective makes it a lot harder to hit enemies than you might think.
Added to the fact that many of the later enemies are total damage sponges, it ends up being far less enjoyable than I'd hoped.

Even though this game is not groundbreaking, it holds a special place in my heart. My mom was one of those people that like video games as well, in fact most of my family. My mom was the one who told me about this game "It is so cool because you hear his music in the game!". We where grocery shopping and saw that Smith's (Kroger) had Moonwalker in the arcade in front of the store. "Hold on before we leave, you got to see this game." she told me. So we park the grocery cart and play a through the first level and she tells me "I wonder how the rest of the game looks." So we spend a ungodly amount of quarters until we beat Mr. Big. We did not care that are ice cream that we bought was melting.
Best mom ever, also your pfp fits perfectly, remember me of the last day the arcade was open here, my dad was a friend of the owner, that was the day i was finally able to finish Cadillacs and dinosaurs with my little brother, it was a sad day anyways we never got another chance to play the arcades :/
LOL I didn't even ask for it that Christmas, but my mom got it for me, but all along, she was the one that wanted to play it.
Cool photo ! Insert coin !
Your mom sounds awesome!
Ground beef is ground breaking
This was actually pretty damn cool because not only was it a fun game, but it had Michael's actual soundtrack in there. Granted it's only a 32 bit system, it's still very much enjoyable!!!
@REXSITUDIO Actually 3 Michaels, there were cabs for 3 players :D
The Sega System 18 is actually 16-bit, though the sound CPU is an 8-bit Z80.
This was actually a great arcade game. So many quarters were used here....
@@BroDude0 I'm not,but don't be ashamed to admit it yourself.
It was, even if you thought a michael jackson themed game seems to be an awkward sell, it was such a good game.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Altered Beast team that did it, Sega worked some muthafuckin magic during this era.
@@mysteriousfleas i remember the local corner store having this by house. And me playing the hell out of it.
I was shocked to see arcade version in 90s arcades while knowing only about my home sega version
I was pretty blown away by the graphics on this back in the day.
Still a pretty quality game for the time and considering what an obscure title it is.
The creativity is mind blowing. Turning a singer/dancer into a superhero fighting game.
@@iliquify Journey?
Those games were just unbelievably amazing at those years. I remember coming from school in 1993, jumping to my console and spending the happiest hours in my life in front of CRT TV screen.
Man I feel ya
Well bro, im still living my childhood and will always live it till I breathe my last. I have a jailbroken ps3 with retroarch software installed which I use to play all the retro games I want.
@@vinayakshenoy7333 i need to do that. I still got an OG PS3 with the PS2 engine for PS1-PS3.
@@dnazz9784 Well, then download retroarch for ps3 from the internet and install it in your ps3. Then, download all nes, snes, sega and arcade roms and store them in a pen drive. Plug in the pen drive in your ps3 and start reliving your childhood all over again. You can thank me later.
I wish sega has this graphics
This is the most aggressive paparazzi I've ever seen!!
When paparazzi start packing pistols and laser guns, you know it's time to call it a day.
At last a game that you can honestly say having a great soundtrack.

Man you just gave me flashing backs of tony hawk 2 on dream cast I enjoyed the sound track.

That serious face while Michael screams at 2:10... I Lol out my shit
Hahaha 😝
MJ is like a pokemon in these games, his only method of communication is "Whoo" "hoo" "Shaaa".
it is cool actually. Can't beat Ninja Gaiden on Nes because it's not cutscene but it kicks ass like the Comix Zone cutin. But that one got seriously shitty arcade counterpart.
Strangely Genesis and Arcade of this MJ is vastly different in perspective. Some ports or gamed like Bionic Commando and Rygar even had game style switched from each version. Arcade versions are much more straightforward mostly while Nes versions add variations of gameplay
that's smart....
I'm not even a MJ fan but I find this so interesting to watch!
I remember playing this game on a whim when I was a kid when it was in the arcades, it's really hard to think a game based on a singer would be good, but at the time the gameplay was on point.
In the game hes saving children. Man the fact media had people belive this man would harm kids is so fucked
That's the price you pay for speaking out against established political and corporate narratives
@@Blink_____ the enemies you make when you are in the public eye is mind blowing...I wonder if M.J. ever met Jeffrey Epstein?
I still think M.J. probably didn't do much more than goof around with kids, nothing serious, laughing in the bathroom with a kid likely means they were playing "rabies" with toothpaste. but we will never know.
the 1990s was an interesting time, and the point where morals truly died...blame it on MTV.
You are one of the best overall gamers on RUclips. Love your work! Thank you!
Thanks for this, memories of being at a caravan park on holiday and getting up early to play Crazy Golf and then this when I could beg for some change from my Dad.
I never did get past the final boss, but I did meet other kids playing this game in multiplayer, we absolutely loved it! Probably one of the best arcade games I ever played it was so cool!
Great to finally see it all the way through!
Wow this game is a legit masterpiece
How so?
Oh man, so many quarters playing this game at the arcades but dam it was a hard game. The memories. 😎👍
Paedo game
Almost 20 years later, it's still difficult for me to believe sega exited the console business. And 10 years later it's also difficult to believe Michael is gone.
1990 + 20 = 2010
Michael Jackson Died 2009
Wtf are u talking about?
@greenbay Although Jackson died 12 years ago anyway :P
It's mainly the commercial failure of the Dreamcast that killed Sega for good.
@@MohamedAbdallahCherif wrong, it was many botched decisions with Sega's upper management and regional squabbles. Nails were already in Sega's coffin during the life of the gensis and its vestigial bodies, IE. Sega CD and the 32x. Releasing the Saturn early in north America pissed off retailers, another nail in Sega's coffin. The dreamcast was Sega's last dich effort to stay afloat, unfortunately it did not have a DVD drive, nor decent security as people were pirating games during it's short lifetime of less than 2 years.
What makes it even worse is Micro$oft stepping in, a company that knows nothing about games and just throws money around buying up dev studios to run into the ground.
This brings back memory lane. Thank you for uploading❤
Hard game, remember loving to play it when I was 12, getting out of the school and my mom had to go to arcade to take me home holding my 👂… next day, I was at the arcade again… my favorite games where this one, TKOF 97, Cadillac dinosaurs, tmnt, capitan commando and last but not least sunset riders! Good old days
He wasn’t the man we deserved but he was the man we needed. RIP MJ. “Shatbonyah! hehe!”
He'll always be the legend in the field of music
Damn games used to be challenging for $.25
that's the point. they were hard because they wanted you to spend more money to continue the game.
@@Cochise954 I think most people didn't continue, because you would spend another quarter in a harder area, so your quarter would last less time.
You'd start the game again, go a little further with your new experience and see the game over a little later at the game.
That's how most people managed to 1 credit clear gams back then.
@rafaellima83 i have never been to the arcades too much but wow that makes sense
Man this bring back memories! Summer holiday, all the quarters you saved up and begged for. Smell of sunscreen and ice-cream...
You would leave the place you played the game still vibing from the tunes afterward.
I still feel it.
That evil laughter tho XD 0:36
Distraction Dance 2.0 0:45
Nooooo!!!! 2:11

This track is certified Pop music 9:44

Man this game was brutal straight out of the gate haha
Never lets up either
Love you MJ, RIP
Never thought I'd miss the batshit crazy world of Michael Jackson
I used to love this game 🥰 been gaming since I was 5 I'm 43yrs old and I still play every day after work💯 gamer till I die
Just noticed some of the enemies are using the pulse rifle from aliens.
@@jesusdelmas The bipedal vehicles? Those are one of those things you don't recognize until you're an adult.🤣
Wow I forgot about this one...good days.
Thank you for reminding me of the tons of money i spent on arcade machines :) lol
The legendary "King of Pop" Michael Jackson I can't believe it's been 13 years since he passed away
#13yearswithoutmichaeljackson
Moonwalker sounds like a bad ass name for Jedi
maybe more "Dark Side of the Moonwalker" :D ... in leaning to Pink Floyd :D
Mike Moonwalker! Hm. Yes it does. Also one of Jackson's best friends was Princess Leia herself, Carrie Fisher. In fact her dentist in the early 90s was Evan Chandler, the creep who started the false allegations against Jackson. She talks about them in her autobiography Shockaholic how that, during a dental appointment before the allegations, Evan was saying weird stuff about how his own kid was 'good looking' which disgusted Carrie and she got a new dentist. Years later she was also with Jackson and his 3 kids on his last ever Christmas in 2008
Nobody better come between Michael and his children 😆🤣😂😹
😂😂😂😂😂
The game's soundtrack is f*ckin' EPIC @02:47 🖤 👀
Respect. Michael Jackson, R.I.P 😢 (1958 - 2009)
This game at the arcade was awesome!
Awesome game , I prefer this one to the one on Sega Genesis. Good work retro.
Oh, it's INFINITELY better than the Genesis. Like, that's not even a discussion.
Thats because this is litterally the arcade version.
I would love to see this game remastered always love every & anything that Our late Brother Michael Jackson done is worth playing & watching all day & night long!
@@CopiousDoinksLLC actually, i like the magic dance moves in genesis
Sega did a great job trying to convert their arcade games to console, but Sega was the undisputed master of coin-op games of their day.
It brings back so Great Memories. When i was a kid me and my parents went on vacation and they hat that Game along with others as an arcade Machine. Every morning my dad gave me some coins so i could play and my parents could sleep a little longer. Everybody was happy. Now i wanna Hear „remember the Time“ 😂😂
The ayuwoki is most powerful than I thought
🤣😂
Never seen or heard of it until now😃 Looks & sounds pretty cool👊🏽
Thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite arcade games in my childhood years. 👍👍👍 I couldn't remember how many tokens I bought in order to finish the game from the very start 😆
PS. I even have the Sega console version of the game and was lucky to even buy the film when it came out in DVD.
Nostalgia
I remember as a kid because of the game 's name I thought the lyrics of Smooth Criminal were
"Annie are you walking, will tell us if you walking"🤣
More innocent and wonderful times. I remember watching Captain EON and ten hitting the arcade right next door to play thus.
I only saw the Megadrive version until now. This version has lots of solid concepts and design in it- really imaginative bots and levels. Also contains all the hallmarks of Jackson, for better or worse. The Moonwalker movie was a straight to video release yet had an immense budget.
This is an absolute blast from the past for me.. I loved this game 😂😂
I didn't know moonwalker was an actual cinematic production until years later, it really puts into perspective how much control people in media companies had over what you could and could not see.
If it wasn't in theaters and you didn't know about it, there was no hope of you catching it on the internet because it straight up did not exist at the time.
Also, is it just me or did the shock trooper guys look like they were carrying pulse rifles from Aliens in this game?
the cinema release was canned because of distribution costs, they could bag more money going straight to video with fewer middle men - I did a research paper on it many years ago. Plus if you've seen it, its 40% music vids then drops into a 'feature' film. Definitely a good watch.
I thought Moonwalker was directly to video.
I like hostage say Michael haha
The children are smiling, because deep down in their hearts they know, that one day Michael will return to share with them another wondrous and magical adventure. LOL :D
Look, we didn't know back then, alright?? lol
Yeah, he'll use his... er... 'super power' to help them, eh?
@@CopiousDoinksLLC And the main "Witnesses" are caught lying so many times. lol
This dude dodged 987,688 bullets out of 987,690... Plus no ads... WTF
❤ thank you for this upload
Thank you I haven’t laughed that hard in a while
kids : Michael!!!
24:45 special moment of the video, "what were they thinking !!!" lol
this might be the best game soundtrack
Wait- so they had a graveyard stage with zombies... but didn't play thriller? LOL
Ha good one.
It was removed and replaced with 'Another Part of Me'. Probably a publishing rights issue.
@@dreadfuldansdiscs2781 hmm that’s crazy. I though MJ had a hand in production of this game. That sucks.
@@WaldoBagelTopper the song was written by Rod Temperton, so would have been a little more complicated to license it. They probably just didn't want to pay his royalties 🤷🏻♂️
This game was actually harder than it looked 😂😂
Played this a few times in the arcade back in the day. I thought it was a fun game.
Необычная игра. Думаю поклонники в те года были рады такой.
It reminds me of 35 years ago, thank you
With the tech today this game could be remade with some dope graphics, game mechanics, and it would sell like gang busters! If you can license the music directly into the game... oh man....
RIP Micheal…
그리운 마이클잭슨
7:40 sweet moves
I would be over the moon excited and would definitely get one if Arcade1up makes a cabinet of this
Used to enjoy this in the arcades. You got to turn into a robot! Some of the themes have not exactly aged well.
There was a Moonwalker film too, that was bonkers.
what themes? If you mean anything to do with kids then catch up with the rest of us. Those accusers all got proven in court as liars. Including the Leaving Neverland frauds in MULTIPLE failed lawsuits (they altered their stories each time it failed to get the millions of dollars they crave, before and after their 'documentary' so they have multiple contradictory timelines).
@@carn9507 That "Documentary" was nothing but a joke. I'm like: Really HBO? Smh....
Never had the chance to play this game . Huge michael fan here.
lol the blue goons behind the red ones at 3:55 have pulse rifles
awesome game. thank you for showing ;-)
Played it in the arcade and I have it now good replay value and the soundtrack cant be beat
Much nostalgia!
Gracias por subir el vídeo de este juego fue por el año 1991 cuando lo jugué en las máquinas de un mercado tengo recuerdos de ese año
Who knew MJ knew the Gadoken?
that kick drum sound is epic.
This game was amazing.
This man is firing off Spirit Guns and im all for it haha!
Man I remember this on Sega back to in the 90s, had to be like 5 or 6 at the time.
Thank you M.J.!
If Beat it had the EVH solo, this game would be LEGENDARY.
WOW Look at that green enemy machine at 22:33 Best attack thingy ever from between legs LOL
Played back in the day, good fun game in the arcade.
MASTERPIECE!
If forgotten how weird the game and film both were. The green thing at about 8:30 has a very suggestive weapon.
So this is Turtles in Time with Mega Man and bits of Alien.
And a lot more kids being captured by Michael…
damn...bring back memories
This game deserve to re make with current. Technology...
He moonwalks while charging the attack!
It was a blast back then!
Where are little children for Michael? He liked it XD
Saving little kids with the power of pop? Why do I get the feeling this was directly inspired by a very intense cocaine-induced dream of MJ?
I remember seeing this at the arcade at Circus Circus in Vegas as a kid maybe early 90's. I thought this game was dope as hell! Probably up there with TMNT arcade maybe better. Gotta finish watching this long play later!
Are the red robots throwing a latoya cd ?
Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles?
Hahahaha
this guy memorized where everything is coming from
reminds me of playing Virtua Cop with a controller
Game concept and design by Michael Jackson himself !? Wow!
One of the best classic Beat'em up.. If it wasn't for the controversy I would have bombarded Dotemu's email to make a new game of this.
Michael Jackson saving lil Kids............................epic.
Thank you
Remember playing this on a ferry from Engand to France.
At the time this game was created, I believe that creating isometric games was a little difficult, because you can see that sometimes some sprites are on top of others when they shouldn't be because of the complexity of the depth of isometric games that need 4 different ones depths than just 2
I used to play Moonwalker at my local theater in Alabama and then play the RoboCop game before or after watching a movie. 🎥🍿
8:25 Lol wtf
(_)=========D
Cant stop watching because of listen musics :)))
one of the best games!💃
