As we say farewell to Michael Jackson. Let us not forget that Michael Jackson was an avid Gamer. Who not only loved Video Games, but had a passion for them. He even had his own Video Game. Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker, both for the Arcade and Sega Genesis Home console. He didn’t only star in them either. He was involved in the making.
MJ also appeared in 2000’s Ready 2 Rumble, Boxing Round 2. The last time Michael Jackson appeared in a game was in 2002’s Space Channel 5, Part 2. Playing what else, Space Michael. So as we say farewell to Michael Jackson this weekend. Remember, we’re not just saying goodbye to the King of Pop, but to a fellow Gamer as well.
RIP Michael Jackson.
