RIP Michael Jackson: King of Pop

[Jrecee]

Lol those copies of moonwalker will be worth $5 again by the time the story blows over. They produced like. . . 5 trillion copies of that game. Still, I wish I had a copy so I could make bank on it right now.

Anyhow I just want to believe....

Yes, BELIEVE! Believe in the power of Michael Jackson!

Wow, I was watching Conan O Brien the other night (A week's delay here), and Eddie Murphy was the guest. He was talking about Michael Jackson and that made me dust off my Mega Drive copy. I played it that night, and as I was...I was thinking "Whatever happened to this guy??" The game is a bit silly, but still fun. Anyhoo, RIP Michael. You were great entertainment as I was growing up.

R.I.P. to the king of pop. He revolutionized popular music and popular dance. He united people across the world. It's sad that his life spun out of control with media vultures for the latter half of his life, but damn he made some great music, videos, and the man had moves.

I'm going to play a little Moonwalker in honor of him, and don't forget he was also in Space Channel 5: Special Edition:

RIP Michael. You will be missed.

Being a product of the 80's I will definitely miss that dude. RIP Mike.

It's time for us all to watch Thriller again. I love how we can all come together to honor one of this century's musical phenomena and arcade cabinet enthusiasts.

I am just so sad
I grew up loving this guy,
he didn't need publicity, song writers, or anything to push into stardom ... he was a complete revolution within himself. Everything about him was simply genius . His dance moves , music, lyrics, clothing style, and about everything else is unmatched by any one or any thing else.

A lot of you are saying his music is "good" but you have to compare it to his time in the 80's and see how revolutionary it was back then, not now where every one and their mothers sing. Go over the media of taped concerts and printed material to see just how big Michael Jackson was. Don't forget for the last 20 years or so his life was going down the drain and from one bad publicity to another and after 20 years of going down hill his death still creates this big fuss, you just have to wonder how big he was before all this bad publicity he got. He may be the celebrity that had the worst kinds of attacks , but for sure he was the most effected comparing to what he was and what he became.

I am just glad that after all this time and him hiding away from the public, and how much the media gave him bad publicity, he still got enough attention at his death and not just sadly quietly forgotten .

Although I love Michael(I have seen him for real!) I think Moonwalker game sucks, but I am hunting for the arcade one on MAME that one is really cool. And this guy is out of his mind :

I was not very fond of him recently, but sad indeed. Kinda weird as I was looking through his all his stuff that is to be auctioned off last night. I assume the money made off of this will go to his debts? Not really sure how that works.....

Check out the 4th catalog though. A very impressive arcade and video game collection he had.

I had no clue had that many kick ass arcades and pinball machines.X-Men,Lethal Enforcers,Darkstalkers,he even had kiosks.No wonder all those kids wanted to go to his house,the parents probably made up that stuff to take his money.He wasn't that old,I was so shocked and kind of depressed to hear this.He was strange,but he grew up without a childhood so that really can effect a person.

Not everyone is sad about this though, Paul McCartney can now rightfully say the girl IS his
