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 :

Are either of those items even rare? I'm sure my Dad has that album on vinyl as well. £2000 please!

Michael Jackson is an icon of the 80s and 90s. I got a bit sad this morning when I learned about the news - I actually liked the fellow. I don't know if he ever did anything to any kids but I just get the impression that Michael was just a bit messed up from starting his career at such an early age, and that he just never grew up that much in his mind. In that light it is not surprising that he liked to have other kids around him as he was essentially a kid himself (if I am correct). That doesn't necessarily mean he liked having other kids around because he was a molester.

His music and his dance were really influential and I hope they will live on regardless of the nasty rumors.

Space Michael lives on in the Space Channel 5 games!

This has actually hit me pretty hard, as a performing musician myself I have always had him in my top 5 influences. Ever since I was 7 I have listened to and loved every song he has put out. The music world has lost one of the last true artists and performers.
RIP Michael

Don't forget that he also made an appearence in Ready 2 Rumble Round 2. They should have given an option between black and white as costumes.

I never listened to his music, all that much, and never really liked him either, but for some reason I feel so sad.

BTW can't the media show some respect? He just died, and you see websites, digging up the child molestion stories. let it go just for a month jesus

THANK YOU! For god's sake they keep going on about "wacko jacko", botched nose jobs, dangling his baby out the window, and showing up to court for child molestation charges in his PJs. My wife and I were sad to hear the news because he was such a big deal to us back in the 80s, so we tried to watch a news retrospective and it just mentioned every awful, taudry headline of the last ten years. They seemed to forget that this man was even a musician and a dancer and not just a media circus show freak! Thank God for youtube where we could watch his videos without some goddamn news anchor giving his unwelcomed two cents about whether he thinks MJ was a kid toucher or not.
