The Last Boss: Michael Jackson vs Stray Dogs



Quote
That game had it all; a Michael Jackson soundtrack, scrolling beat-em-up action and some great boss fights, not least of which was the legendary Stray Dogs.
The very first thing I did when fighting these dogs was test out the "dance them to death" move to see if it would work, needless to say, it does.
Yes, it seems that neither man nor beast can resist the musical styling’s of Michael Jackson, and each and every mongrel would jump on their hind-legs and start jamming to ‘Beat it’, then be sent flying off screen as Michael Jackson proved too much for them.

Michael Jackson and SEGA



Quote
In 1990, Sega published a video game based on Michael Jackson’s movie Moonwalker, which started Jackson’s relationship with Sega.
It was around this time that the first Sonic game came out, and Jackson expressed to people at Sega how much he liked the game.
When SEGA developed NA version of Mega Drive (called Genesis), they gave Michael Jackson one before it's released, making him the first person in the U.S. to own a SEGA Genesis
In 1993, while in Los Angeles on his “Dangerous” world tour, Jackson was invited to visit Sega Technical Institute, where Sonic 3 was being developed.
While he was there, one of the developers asked him if he’d like to write some music for the game, he said yes, and the rest is history.
In the middle of production of Space Channel 5, in 1998 or 1999, SEGA got a call from Michael saying that he wanted to act in Space Channel 5.
Michael then makes a cameo appearance in Space Channel 5 near the end of the game as Space Michael.
He then had a more prominent role in Space Channel 5: Part 2 where he became the new head of Space Channel 5.

Mike Tyson reveals he ‘hated Michael Jackson’s guts’
after King of Pop ‘played him’ in amazing backstage gig snub




Quote
“And then I go over to meet Mike, … and he goes like this, ‘Don’t I know you from somewhere? Where I know you from?’
“He broke my ego, he crushed me.''
“I said ‘No, I’m just a fan, pleasure to meet you, sir.'
He said, ‘OK’, and then he got out and went in the car.”
Tyson admitted he refused to let go of the snub for years until Jackson finally invited him to hang out - an offer initially rejected by the fighter.
He added: “I said ‘OK I’m coming, I’ll be over there’, right?
“So I got on a plane, went over there, hung out, and we just started hanging out together. And I said ‘F*** man, he’s a good guy.

Takayuki Nakamura Interview: From Moonwalker to Sky Soldier



Quote
I remember working with Michael Jackson’s “Bad” so it could be played on a Genesis.
I listened to it, copied by ear, and then converted it into MML data (translator’s note: music macro language).
The boss battle song was the first one I made on the job.
I didn’t know the field at all, so I was trying to learn on the job at first.

MoonWalker (Mega Drive / Sega Genesis) gets the MD+ Treatment



Quote
Thanks to the MD+ format that debuted on Terraonion’s Mega SD flash cart, some classic Genesis & Mega Drive games over the last few months that have received CD audio quality tracks.
Users will also have the option to swap out Jackson’s Another Part of Me for Thriller in the woods/graveyard stage if they so choose which is a nice option.

Dog Day has been created so that all breeds of dogs are celebrated; mixed and pure.
The day helps to galvanize the public so that they can recognise the number of dogs that must be rescued on a yearly basis, from pure breed rescuers, rescues, and public shelters.

Yuji Naka Casually Confirms Legendary Michael Jackson Music Rumor





Went to Michael Jackson's house :



Quote
After decades of speculation, Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Yuji Naka casually confirms that Michael Jackson did indeed compose music for Sonic 3.
Some speculation suggested that Jackson's tracks went unused in the final game, but Naka's statements seemingly finally confirm that the late musician's work did make it into the original release of the game.
It is unknown why Jackson was previously uncredited for the compositions.
