Why Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker Was So Wild
You’re literally playing as Michael Jackson, walking around saving kids, taking down mobsters with dance moves, using music as attacks… and somehow, at one point… turning into a robot.
And yet… underneath all that weirdness, Moonwalker actually had a lot going for it.
From the soundtrack and presentation to the pure star power Michael Jackson had at the time—when he was arguably the biggest entertainer on the planet—this game felt like something only the 90s could have produced.
In this BoxTrick podcast clip from our Sega Genesis episode, we talk about why Moonwalker was so bizarre, why it actually played better than people remember, and why it’s still one of the most unique games of the 16-bit era.with @age_of_retro #nostalgia #retrogaming #sega #michaeljackson
