The Immortal MJ

Whilst everyone on the planet mourn the recent passing of Michael Jackson, I thought I would do something different and share with you how MJ had been a part of my childhood instead. Ok, show of hands here, how many of you can remember the Moonwalker video game? Well, in case you didn’t know, yes..MJ had a video game created after him.
Click on the video to see the whole game. It’s about 27 mins long mind you, but I’ll assure you that those who remember this game will love it.
I for one remembered this game. I was still back in primary school (11-12 years old), and I used to sneak in the local arcades illegally just to play this game right after school. Yes, I know, I was under aged back then to be even entering the arcades, but it’s because of this game that got me hooked. It was also one of the first few arcade games that can play up to 3 players at a time. In this video you will only see one MJ character, but you can have a black and even a red MJ and have a 3-way dance fest. There is just something about the game…the moves, the way MJ kills his enemies…the music…all seem to bring out the very essence of what MJ truly is. My friends and I would spend what ever money we have left challenging each other for the top score. Now thinking back, it’s worth every single cent.
They say you are immortalized when someone puts you into a video game. Well, MJ is surely immortal now and will certainly be part of my life forever. RIP MJ.
