Michael Jackson's Moonwalker - Arcade - last boss & ending
Released on the Sega System 18 hardware.
The arcade has distinctively different gameplay from its computer and console counterparts, focusing more on beat 'em up gameplay elements rather than platform gameplay.
Cabinets with 3 simultaneously players were also produced.
Bubbles, Michael's real-life pet chimpanzee, appears in each level. Once collected or rescued, Bubbles transforms Michael into a robotic version, with the ability to shoot laser bursts and missiles and absorb significantly more damage.
Jackson assisted Sega's game designers on the development of the game.
Coin-op version is the only one where MJ can die: in the other versions developed by US Gold, in fact, Jackson expressly asked that his alter ego didn't die, giving the idea of having simply fainted..
Many many many many thanks to@GirolamoReadyToPlay for playing this game with me, trying also to imitate Michael iconic voice :D
