oh lord, even in 2019 i remember this game, back in the day this was the only game i could "speedrun" within 2 hours haha, so fun to watch this again! thanks man!
I never knew that this was released for the Master System. Then again, my part of the country never got the Master System when it was out. That 10% of the market share saw to that :(
It may have had better graphics but the sound chip in the master system was absolutely terrible. As a kid I remember playing a lot of the games with the sound switched off.
so whats this game the nes version sounded better than the master system version then? would be nice to get a reply for once i must of asked like 5 people in the years, never got a reply probably because there ain't one. i don't personally mind the nes sound chip it's just inferior to the sms
It could not be used for copyright reasons. Thriller was not solely composed by Michael. So, this game as well as its Genesis and Arcade counterparts used Another Part of Me track instead.
While this version has worse graphics and sound, I believe they tweaked some flaws from the Genesis version. Specifically they got rid of Bubbles, so now the endurance match start automatically without having to walk through the empty stage, and also I think the end boss makes more sense than the first person shooter from the original version.
It would,ve been great if this game supported FM sound and if it contained some voices to make it closer to the genesis port, also the final boss from the genesis could,ve be replicated in this version, that fact is eventrough it's not a bad port, but am aware that it could,ve done much better;note: the factory level looks bad because it uses red colors instead of great and you don't see monitors on those computer systems.
Michael Jackson is Fantastic but I think it's silly how in this game when you make Michael do his iconic dance moves you lose some health other than that it's a great game and the movie is brilliant and Michael Jackson is a legend king of pop to right he was he is and always will be the best
Truly,it's something I would say,just RUINED this legendary game I tested to clear on PC 2 years ago(play on emulator with an inferior video driver has it's limits…play on Mega Drive even with all on minimal setup,NO CHANCE!!!!!!Headache after headache),if had some specific bar for powerups only would be totally ok…
Steven Hill Genesis and Mega Drive are the same console Genesis is just it’s name in America in the same way the NES is called Famicom in Japan and SNES is known as Super Famicom over in Japan 🇯🇵.
I never realized this until today because I don't have the instruction manual, but if you press the pause button on the console, it brings up a status screen that shows your score, lives, time, and how many kids are still left in the stage
i played this version of moonwalker at the birmingham anime & gaming con last sunday. i got past the first two levels of the club 30 stage but i kept dying on my way to the third level and couldn't get any further. this is quite a good game, but i wish there had been a motorcycle stage akin to hang-on and road rash in both home versions of the game given the video to the song speed demon had jacko wearing a biker hare outfit and being chased by some obsessed animated characters on a highway, and at the end of the vid the copper gave him what i thought was a parking ticket for moonwalking. the film was great and so were the master system and megadrive versions.
MJ-rhythm-of-Love Yeah, listen to what Corey Feldman had to say about him, McCauley Culkin too... it's the suits that are the ones messing up youth actors, not the brilliant, eccentric folks like the King of Pop.
MJ rescuing kids. In 1990 who could possibly have known how ironic that would be? Good game though. Alright, the level designs were pretty repetitive, but still looked good for an 8 bit game, particularly the animation of the characters. I kind of miss the days when Jacko was still cool...
On top of that, would you actually enjoy if anyone called you another 1st name the one you got? It's offending ! Show some respect. Your mom would be ashamed of you. Behave yourself !
I was going to play this game today in my Mega Drive (but the Master System version), and then Round 6-2 came. FUUUUUUUCK!!! THIS SHIT IS IMPOSSIBLE! At least for me, a NTSC 60Hz user.
Had this game as a kid, it got easier when I got to toss my hat like a boomerang. The guy that laughs in the cutscenes between levels is Jeffery Epstein. I wonder if Michael was "unlived" because he was about to whistleblow something?
Not really, Golden Axe and Ghouls and Ghosts were fantastic on the Master System. Thunderblade was actually a better game than Super Thunderblade and Moonwalker played better on the Master system.
This came out the same time the Arcade game was made. It was Arcade games that were getting ported to the Master System like Shinobi and Afterburner and whatnot. Moonwalker on the Genesis came out in 1990. This was in '89 like the original Arcade game.
That final boss though! 😂...I FINALLY just beat him, just now! OMG! I spent a whole hour just trying to find a pattern...I still couldn't find one, but I somehow managed to BS my way to the end! 🤣 Feels good, man!
my ex girlfriend had this game when we split up she s took away with her cause it was her console game just received today this game and preview to purchase the master system coming soon
@@andyukmonkey Which only was because Nintendo forced every developer to sign a exclusive deal with them. It nearly ruined the video game market (and unlike the overrated "Video Game Crash" of '83 it would've affected the whole world and not just one country) It's a sad thing considering the Master System was vastly superior to the NES and the games could've been a whole lot better
The graphics are incredible for Master System, but that had such a horrible sound chip! I know it is Texas Instruments, but I do not like it. The NES had far inferior graphics, but an awesome sound chip.
? If you're about to make an innuendo about his supposed (and never proven) criminal behaviour, you should keep it for Woody Allen or Roman Polanski or Elvis Presley.
The end isn't relevant, what's relevant is the path you chose to walk on... In video games too, you play RPG for instance because you want to power the characters up XD.
The graphics in my opinion are BEAUTIFUL for a Master System game!
They're pretty good for the master system but that music. . .
I didn't even know this came out on the Master System.
It’s May 31st, 2021 and I just found out today from a Scott the woz vid, which is crazy because I played the Genesis/Mega Drive version to death!
Yeah! And it’s a damn good port too!
I love how he went from kicking magic dust to physical violence in the master system version lmao
Man I miss this game. My mum got it for me as a Christmas present back in the 90s.
I love the Shinobi style next to final boss! Impressive little game honestly. Large sprites, looks to play well, and sounds pretty decent.
Billie Jean sounds pretty cool with the Chip Tuned sound.
oh lord, even in 2019 i remember this game, back in the day this was the only game i could "speedrun" within 2 hours haha, so fun to watch this again! thanks man!
Wow this look great for 8 bit and the music isn't that bad
Smooth Criminal is the best
great visuals unmatched 8 bit but sound blows ass
The SMS can be fitted with a FM sound chip, try doing that for the NES.
@@ulysses2162 It happened in the Japanese version of Castlevania 3.
Never bothered to look up this version but it seems good, nice changes in gameplay and the animation isn't bad.
Holy shit the memories of staying up all night 🌙 back when life was amazing 😋✌️
The most stylish game I ever seen that time .
I never knew that this was released for the Master System. Then again, my part of the country never got the Master System when it was out. That 10% of the market share saw to that :(
Awsome graphics for a 8 bit machine, go's to show the graphic wise master system was superior to nes.
It may have had better graphics but the sound chip in the master system was absolutely terrible. As a kid I remember playing a lot of the games with the sound switched off.
Absolutely agree with you, sound on the NES was way better.
Yeah it's too high pitched. No bass whatsoever and no way to get decent percussion either.
Sucks that outside of Pal regions, aka Europe and Australia, the Master system was a commercial flop.
so whats this game the nes version sounded better than the master system version then? would be nice to get a reply for once i must of asked like 5 people in the years, never got a reply probably because there ain't one.
i don't personally mind the nes sound chip it's just inferior to the sms
Wouldn't it have made more sense to use "Thriller" for the graveyard stage?
It could not be used for copyright reasons. Thriller was not solely composed by Michael. So, this game as well as its Genesis and Arcade counterparts used Another Part of Me track instead.
I picked this up for 50p from a garage sale the other day fully boxed with instructions. Absolute steal.
Have fun ripping someone off on ebay when you sell it for 30 bucks - if you haven’t already..
@@beef88 no chance, this one is staying in the collection!

a genesis version prototype has been leaked that contains a level very similar to master system
At least if you have a bad PC,you'll have to walk freely on the stages better than Genesis
Never knew this existed until now. Loved the Genesis and arcade versions.
I love this "pixel" verson of MJ's music.
It would,ve been great if this game supported FM sound and if it contained some voices to make it closer to the genesis port, also the final boss from the genesis could,ve be replicated in this version, that fact is eventrough it's not a bad port, but am aware that it could,ve done much better;note: the factory level looks bad because it uses red colors instead of great and you don't see monitors on those computer systems.

Plays almost as well as the Genesis version.
R I P Mike.
I Prefer the Genesis version cause of it's graphics and soundtrack.
-..- master system 8 bits... genesis 16 bits.. u are so genius, in genesis all games are better in graphics/sounds
Steven Hill Genesis and Mega Drive are the same console Genesis is just it’s name in America in the same way the NES is called Famicom in Japan and SNES is known as Super Famicom over in Japan 🇯🇵.
The Genesis has twice the capabilities of the SMS you twat waffle.
The Music in this is chip tune based music which sounds better then the Genesis FM Synth sound.
Brutal sound and music.
I never realized this until today because I don't have the instruction manual, but if you press the pause button on the console, it brings up a status screen that shows your score, lives, time, and how many kids are still left in the stage
I'm dying watching the enemies literally flying to the moon
12:01 Another Part of Bits.
i remember it, i played it a long time many years ago

Pretty good, 8 bit could still be fun.
I remember thinking this was the shiz back in early 90s. Great game.
you just killed me thanks for this memory
He made the last level look easy.😂
That last level felt impossible
Same, I only played it for the Sega Megadrive(Genesis)
O_O Wowie! Michael Jackson has games, too!
Fun Fact this is one of arc system works first games.
but....but....but...no sparkles and solo dancing!!!! :'(((((
So werird of them to choose the harmony part as the lead vocal in the chorus of smooth criminal
2 people think Michael Jackson was guilty.
They're dumb.
MJ-rhythm-of-Love Yeah, listen to what Corey Feldman had to say about him, McCauley Culkin too... it's the suits that are the ones messing up youth actors, not the brilliant, eccentric folks like the King of Pop.
DontrelleRoosevelt MICHAEL'S THA MAN
The kids were able to describe Jackson's genitalia ...
@@tightlypackedcoil that's a myth.
very good ultimate attack 1:19

Good game though. Alright, the level designs were pretty repetitive, but still looked good for an 8 bit game, particularly the animation of the characters.

It's not ironic at all, he spent his life saving ppl, especially children. Believe it or not, he's one of the top 5 benefactors to Humanity.
On top of that, would you actually enjoy if anyone called you another 1st name the one you got? It's offending ! Show some respect. Your mom would be ashamed of you. Behave yourself !
just amazing :))
Wish they had ported this on the Game Gear.
I was going to play this game today in my Mega Drive (but the Master System version), and then Round 6-2 came.
FUUUUUUUCK!!!
THIS SHIT IS IMPOSSIBLE!
At least for me, a NTSC 60Hz user.
Smooth Criminal is awesome in 8-bit.
I'm stuck on the bit at 33 mins... you make it look easy.
I prefer the genesis 32’ version But this is cute
NEVER heard of this version.
Great version!!!!
Had this game as a kid, it got easier when I got to toss my hat like a boomerang.
The guy that laughs in the cutscenes between levels is Jeffery Epstein.

Wow, the Lancia Stratos prototype model at 0:14.
Still got this here at home, with the console. Missing controllers and A/V-cable, though. :/
A hundred times better than Genesis version
The sega genesis version it's literally a remaster of this version, so mame it's a 2.5D remake arcade from this game interesting...
This is a grate port for 8 bit, Great stuff :o)
Angry Video Game Nerd brought me here
I love 8 bit
Annoying how the music is in a different key though.
They had this on the master system?
***** I heard that was a dumb decision made by sega
Not really, Golden Axe and Ghouls and Ghosts were fantastic on the Master System. Thunderblade was actually a better game than Super Thunderblade and Moonwalker played better on the Master system.

last boss is a mean machine
genesis music is so much more badass
Cminiely424 the remastered version though it’s kick-ass
Funny game
That final boss though! 😂...I FINALLY just beat him, just now! OMG! I spent a whole hour just trying to find a pattern...I still couldn't find one, but I somehow managed to BS my way to the end! 🤣 Feels good, man!
Stage 6-2 man, I tried for maybe half an hour but couldn't get pass the bullets pattern no matter what!
Now I've seen the disappointing ending! 8[
Hi good morning I want this game how can I have this game? respond me. 🧡
i got the master system and megadrive
Subbed 👍
Fun fact:Michael jaclson says sonic is a gangsta wow
JUST BEAT IT!
Io perdevo sempre al round 5-3
The graphics are good, the gameplay is decent, but the music is too unpolished for me, specially in Billie Jean (OH MY GOD MY EARS HURT)
Coe mano remixa as músicas aí e coloca numa ROM aí

It seems too easy... But I've tried and it was impossible :|

Eu comprei esse jogo na é era um dos meus melhores
nes had better sound and that's it. GAMES GRAPHICS FUN REAL 3D ACTIVE SHUTTER GLASSES WAS THE LOVE OF MY CHILDHOOD NEVER WANTED nes
Well the Nes did have better support from 3rd party developers too.

poor nes
Poor master system.
@@jabarijones9588 por gameboy poor game gear
I spent over 1h in this stage 34:00, still haven't made it through
It's a very frustrating fight. I never got past it as a kid, years later I managed on emulator and felt a bit cheated that there was no stage 6-3!
20€ for this one
The graphics are incredible for Master System, but that had such a horrible sound chip! I know it is Texas Instruments, but I do not like it. The NES had far inferior graphics, but an awesome sound chip.
33:57 reminds me of Megaman II, I don't know why...
The music is really missing a lot of bass.
AVGN brought me here but the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis/16-bit version of this game has better graphics and audio quality
haha i like you bro your cool
Whats the difference between michael jackson and acne?
? If you're about to make an innuendo about his supposed (and never proven) criminal behaviour, you should keep it for Woody Allen or Roman Polanski or Elvis Presley.
Worst ending ever
Porque sega no a sido líder en los vídeojuegos si siempre sus juegos an sido superiores a los de Nintendo
Porque todo el mundo les encantan Mario y link y Mario kart.
Michael Jackson running around and looking for kids hits different in 2024, huh?
What a shitty ending
The end isn't relevant, what's relevant is the path you chose to walk on... In video games too, you play RPG for instance because you want to power the characters up XD.
better than genesis version 😀
love this game 😍
