This is an amazing find, and even more amazing that it's finally been preserved online. Having footage of Michal Jackson at the peak of his popularity, in a videogame no less, is something special. Many thanks to everyone involved in making this happen! I agree, the full intro video for the simulator should be found, so this ride/game can be properly documented and experienced!
@@arkvinin Nirvana would probably disagree. They were big fans of Jackson and even wore t-shirts of him at some of their performances. They even spoke about the allegations when asked what they thought about it and Kurt said he felt sorry for Mike. Ironically the surviving members of Nirvana were also the target of a scam falsely claiming child abuse. The kid from the Nevermind cover tried to say that everyone who owned that album was in the possession of child pornography and that it had ruined his life. When in reality that guy (who has recreated the cover multiple times as he's aged, and has the album name TATTOOED on his chest) had been milking that fame for years for money and girls and such. And was now just broke and trying to sue them for a ton of money he didn't deserve. Same as Jackson's accusers. Particularly Wade Robson who only started his claim in 2013 after previously being rejected for the big money job producing Michael Jackson ONE for Cirque Du Soleil. Why on earth would he want that job if he now says he was abused (and that he was 'forced' to testify in 2005 as the main witness for defense even though Jackson had hundreds of people volunteering... and Wade is shown in 2007 video at Neverland with his now wife, praising the place calling it a 'sacred land' and thanking Jackson, who isn't even there cos Neverland was always open to visitors whether Jackson was present or not).
@@ChokeslamToHell Are you serious, did you even check that Thriller sold over 70 million copies before posting. Michael Jackson was on the way down fast in 1992, I was born in 1975 so I don't need to google to remember. The year after the accusations and quick payoff to quiet the victim appeared, his name was tainted forever.
Graphics are on par for the time period. These would be the pre-rendered backgrounds. Sega CD could do that. (Silpheed is an example of this. Explosions, missles, and lasers would all be displayed over it.) The tech actually goes back to the Colecovision though the console never used it. ViewMaster Interactive was one of the first, displaying game data over video tape.
This is just done via prerendering/offline rendering. Not really that great considering what others did at the same time with that technology. However, ut does the job as a short ride movie that people forget 5 minutes after leaving.
Love this! MJ seems to work really well with things involving Space. Captain EO, Scramble Training, Space Channel 5, and the song Starlight. EDIT: I forgot about Men In Black 2. Although most of the Alien stuff takes place on Earth.
I rode this in Las Vegas at the Sega arcade in the Luxor. For some reason I don't remember Michael Jackson but I was young then and lots of stuff back then had mj in it. I remember we crashed the ship at the end. When the landing happens, there were guidelines for the riders to follow by hitting their triggers to adjust approach. 8 of us climbed into a lil moving pod, similar to Star Tours. I remember that crash landing really sticking with me.
Hello! Can you remember when this would have been? I'm currently trying to work out if the MJ version was actually replaced so this would be great to know
Thank you for uploading. I had seen photos of Michael Jackson in Scramble Training on Instagram years ago and wanted to watch the full video but I couldn’t find it then. I am so happy that I finally get to watch it.
I remember playing this back then in 1996, it blew my mind. MJ as a commander with a closed moving cockpit is awesome, although there's barely any gameplay except pushing green and red buttons on your unmoveable flight stick.
Mickael Jackson went to SEGA Odaiba center in Tokyo Japan in 1996. I know it because there is an autograph of him there dated 1996. I still have a photo of me and my friend in front of that.
I came across this video through its mention in a book dedicated to Michael Jackson's collaboration with Sega. Thank you very much for preserving this audiovisual document.
"That was close"... 🤣🤣🤣 LoooL No Michael, that was "shit". This is so awesome. Thank you so much for your effort in digitalizing this, for us fans. You're great!
Yep Michael Jackson baby! From what I was reading I think they shot filmed it in end of 1992 but Sega did t finish editing or put out the video until early 1993.
I love this so, so much. When he said good job and gave the thumbs up my heart melted 🥲❤️ he is so awesome I bet it was always his dream to be featured in a video game
what a wild find! I'd heard about these motion sims from videos on the old arcades, but I didn't know MJ was involved! Pretty awesome for what it is. Shame this isn't his best acting though lol
So the footage was found in the UK in a car boot sale. However I bet Sega already has this, who said that Sega lost it and didn't have it themselves? Sega themselves never claimed this, it was only kids online on reddit and such that claimed this, companies don't just release random stuff like this often, so they likely still have it themselves.
Thank you very much for dusting off this historical document. Hopefully the master footage from "Megalopolis - Tokyo City Battle" will also be recovered.
I rode this at the Trocadero in the 90s. Just for context, from 7:46 to 8:12 the cabinet would switch to a wireframe view of the ship rendered at runtime. The designated driver would then pilot the ship, I think through a number of rings or gates. I can't remember if the players actions would actually drive the motion simulation too or not though. On my ride, we got ending 1 at 8:10. - We also rode the non-interactive 'Megalopolis' film.
@@georgebriseno yes, or at least was made so it could be in one. The ride was like those 4D rollercoasters that exist. I seem to remember we had to shoot at the screen or fly the ship
@@georgebriseno I've actually been looking for this was years, wondering if I'd just imagined it. What I remember is that we did so badly that MJ died at the end - but it was more funny and surprising than tragic, I think some people were actively trying to fail because of how funny it was
I completely forgot about this. I went on the arcade machine with my school at Sega World in London. I remember thinking why was Michael being so serious. 😂
Gaming history is wild. Love the music, kind of reminds me of the exciting music in Star Wars Episode 1. Combat looks heavily informed by Star Wars as well. Looks like fun.
This is so cool. I like the game that MJ created. It gives me the Captain EO vibe and Millennium Falcon and Star Tours at Disney. The outfit seems familiar in this one. I've probably seen it except that it must've been added.
Now all we need is the full Megalopolis: Tokyo City Battle ride. I've only ever seen snippets and heard only one audio sample when the game was featured in a japanese Sega documentary.
This was a pack in demo for the cancelled Sega Giga Edge. It also came with a signed copy of authenticity by Micheal Jackson. If you returned the slip to Sega's headquarters and were one of the first ten people to do so Micheal Jackson would come over to your house and play Sega branded video games with you for the evening. He was even gonna bring a trailer full of the current Sega arcade titles for you to play like Virtua Racing. Too bad this system was cancelled at the last minute because of infighting between Sega of Japan and Sega of America. Instead we got the 32x add on a year later.
I went on this a many times in Trocadero London SEGA World near where I lived as a kid. That place was the reason I love video games today. If you are a SEGA fan and you havent seen pictures of the what the place was like I would highly suggest you do. It was the closest thing we ever got to having a SEGA theme park. It was 7 floors of Arcade games, they had every sega arcade cab probably. Then on the bottom floor was a live action ALIENS experience based on the movie by James Cameron.

I wouldn't call it the peak. By this time he had been eclipsed by Nirvana had become an afterthought.
@@arkvinin NOT TRUE!🤡🤡🤡
@@arkvinin An afterthought? Bro, Dangerous sold 32 million copies and is a top 15-20 selling album ever lmao. It’s also an incredible album.

The graphics are amazing for 1993!
That's what I said 😅
i don't believe it...this looks like 1995-1996...
The graphics is mostly prerendered video segments coming from laserdisc.
These are pre-rendered video sequences, not gameplay. The game assets are probably much simpler (we see a black screen during the gameplay).
The graphics are 1993 for amazing!
This is a great find and document of Segas relationship with The King of Pop at the time. Sonic 3s soundtrack is still one of the best ever.
Reminds me so much of the opening of the MJs History world tour.. Great find.. thanks for sharing👍😃
You can bet he asked them to do one for his tour, too
True...
@@theveganenemyWait that minute what???
reminds me of Captain EO.
Great graphics for that time! It shows how high Michael Jackson was valued.

That's exceptional. Great discovery. People will love this video.
This is seriously one of the best things to be found!! Kinda reminds me of Captain EO tbh.
I loved Captain EO
@@DM-wu9jk MJ's Sci-fi stuff is the best.
An amazing find , true gem 💎
Thank you for sharing this. This is so cool!
The opening song is called... ''Another Part of Me - Michael Jackson''
Moonwalker genesis version
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!!!!!! Luv how he says shuttle😆”shuddo”
I believe that is just his accent lol
me: "ugh I hate tutorial stages."
Michael Jackson: "hee hee! use the Left Stick to move around."
me:"shamon! shamon!"
He was always ahead of his time
The bad album cover is his ID photo on his jacket!

They removed MJ from the final release when the CSE allegations starting flying around.

Thank you for sharing this lost treasure with the world
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing history. I'm very grateful.
Long Live the Greatest Musician & Entertainer of All Time: Michael Jackson
This was so fun to watch! I love lost footage, especially of MJ!
I remember playing this back then in 1996, it blew my mind. MJ as a commander with a closed moving cockpit is awesome, although there's barely any gameplay except pushing green and red buttons on your unmoveable flight stick.
I was wondering how the gameplay was since it seems very scripted. Thanks
I thought It was cancelled due to the allegations
Thanks to all involved! I assumed I'd never get to see this.
Historical preservation efforts are paramount to forging a path to the future.
Can we just appreciate how cool the graphics are for it's time? this is INSANE for 1993😲
Can we just have an end to people beginning posts with "Can we just appreciate.......".
@@SpeccyHorace I dunno. What's wrong with some appreciation? Better than being negative and hateful. In my opinion anyways. :P
SEGA's 3D was top of the world at the time.
@@SpeccyHorace I agree it's getting kinda annoying at this point
Prerendered graphics are not particularly impressive
Thank you for uploading this, and thank you for not putting your own water mark on the footage.
6:22 “Dang! I’m gonna get you.😇” 🤭

He was GORGEOUS!!!

No big deal when compared to what was state of the art that year.
This would have blown my tiny little mind back in the day
Made my mornin,that 90s vibe was all I needed to ignite good mood for this day.Thx Mike😎

Oh, the bounties that can be found at car boot sales! Thank you so much for sharing this for free!
Yeah totally not a random ROM hack troll
The has the same hair style just like in the grammy awards 1993. So i guess it must have been produced around that time.
Amazing find!

@@APorovic I just have the moonwalker Sega game , I wish I could play the arcade version .

I like how every action scene is incredibly awkward because there's no actual game.
