MOONWALKER Arcade. Let’s talk about one of the strangest and most fascinating arcade games of all time.
Back in 1990, SEGA released a game that was unlike anything the arcades had seen before. Based on the surreal 1988 film Moonwalker, this game wasn’t just a celebrity tie-in — it was a full-blown experience, blending music, action, sci-fi, and dance into a wild isometric beat 'em up. Up to three players could control Michael Jackson himself, each wearing a different colored version of his iconic “Smooth Criminal” outfit (white, red, or blue), and take on waves of enemies to rescue kidnapped children from the villainous Mr. Big — played in the film by Joe Pesci.
What made Moonwalker Arcade so unique wasn’t just its gameplay. Jackson himself was heavily involved in its development. He oversaw animations, gave feedback on the design, recorded custom voice clips, and even requested specific features — like being invincible during his dance attacks, or transforming into a robot. And yes, that actually happens in the game. With a power-up, Michael turns into a robot and blasts enemies with lasers. It’s as over-the-top as it sounds.
The game featured digitized versions of Michael's greatest hits like “Smooth Criminal” and “Bad,” and included a “Dance Magic” special move — when activated, Michael would start dancing, and all enemies on screen would join in… before exploding. It was theatrical, absurd, and brilliant.
While the arcade version was released in limited quantities — especially in Europe — it became a cult classic in Japan. It was never officially ported to home consoles, making it a true hidden gem in arcade history. The console versions on Genesis and Master System were completely different games, side-scrolling platformers with a different feel and design, even though they shared the same title.
If you've ever played this game in the arcades, you know how unforgettable it is. If you haven’t, you're in for a wild retro ride.
What are your memories of Moonwalker Arcade? Did you ever see a real cabinet in the wild? Let us know in the comments — and stay tuned, because we’ve got a full gameplay video coming soon on Retro Legends!
