PLAY RETRO 217: Michael Jackson's Moonwalker

from The FrogPants Studios Ultra Feed!

Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker (1990) brought the King of Pop to arcades and home consoles with two completely different takes on the same concepts - an isometric co-op arcade experience and a side-scrolling Genesis version built around exploration and music-driven combat. We also take a look at the earlier European computer adaptation, showing how differently the Moonwalker license was interpreted across platforms.  Hosted on Acast.
