For those who might not know, moonwalking actually has a bit of a purpose in the game. In the final set of stages (Mr.Big's hideout) there are a lot of conveyor belts that slow you down when you walk on them, but if you moonwalk on them you can go trough them faster.

Love how "Beat It" was playing while he was talking about the crotch grab... not sure if it was intentional or not but if it was then it was a nice subtle touch

Doctor kills him

[@ANT96-x8d]

If there existed a video game based on David Bowie,I wonder what it would be about.

[@tjclt250r]

+david the nerd that's crap to believe the dr killed him... he was an addict....he just kept wanting more...the dr has to share some of the guilt but its not him 100%..... when I saw him on the news he seemed like was a pushover....im sure whatever Micheal wanted he got..... if McMurray said no MJ would find someone else...and you know how that goes with superstars....there was probably a waiting list of doctors waiting to "treat" him..... it is sad what happened but MJ lived a rough life.... he got famous to young and his father was a bastard.... though that's not always the case.... some addicts live great lives..... addiction does not discriminate....anybody can be a victim of it..... but to blame Dr McMurray that is not fair....its what MJ wanted....

Hi, James! I really enjoy watching the episodes of Angry Nerd. Today, September 13, 2017, I watched several episodes. I noticed that this episode, one of my favorites, was to win 5 million views! so I decided to follow this achievement by watching the episode and playing this game, in my fresh new old school looking Sega Mega Drive console, made this year, by Tectoy, the official Sega licensed company in Brazil. And that it is! 5 million views!! Congratulations!! My favorite episode is the Batman episodes 52 and 53, witch second one is about to reach the same 5 million views (4,989,222 now).

[@uncharted3958]

I might sound like a dumbass saying this, but I like the Genesis versions of all the Michael Jackson songs here. It's just that 16-bit badass feel it has to it. And I just like most music instrumental. I don't know what it is, but video game music, or MIDI, and rock is just my jam!

[@SamusKerrigan]

mega turrican is a great example

[@SuperNintendawg]

Hard to have a bad-sounding MJ song

[@alpha-gs2uz]

except, sonic erasers

[@rachelectroDC-84]

I totally agree! I've been downloading MIDI versions of Led Zep since I was 14, and used to play the arcade version of this game just for the music. I've even been known to hike to a castle while listening to the "Castle" song from Sword of Vermillion on Sega! Video game music really is some modern day classical IMO!

[@carsisbest]

I don’t blame ya, as much as I like the original album recordings of MJ’s songs, the sound chip of the Genesis makes some songs like grunge or a perfect 16 Bit rendition of the original tracks

[@urukhaiorc4002]

Moonwalker needs a remake on todays consoles. Imagine the HD graphics, moonwalkin in n out of the levels, resquin kids? Like there is somethin wrong about. and the Stereo music.. Someone needs to do it.
