I knew the Michael Jackson Moonwalker movie was an odyssey in insane, musical nonsense, but the Moonwalker arcade game lives way beyond its notoriety. I find it funny that Michael apparently helped design and shape the end product. He was such a weird person and the things he did are well-documented but still worth a head scratch all these years later.
We have robots with massive piston-like penises, Mecha Jackson, children as health pickups, dance moves that literally make enemies explode, ghosts and graveyards for some reason... I could go on here because the list continues. The game is as ridiculous as the Michael Jackson Moonwalker movie, and that's why I love retro video games. They rarely make sense, especially when they're a byproduct of a movie.
The game itself is pretty basic as you move Michael around isometric levels to kill various types of smooth criminals and robots with energy blasts. It's not particularly difficult, but it serves its purpose as an arcade game made to eat some quarters and capitalize on Michael Mania back in the late 80s into the 90s. The midi versions of his tracks are still bangers in 16-bit form, but Thriller was missing even though they had a graveyard level. How could they miss that?
