Happy 35th anniversary for "Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker" (SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive)!







Quote
Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker was first released 35 years ago today for SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive.
The game concept and design was by noneother than Michael Jackson himself.
The prototype version contained the song "Thriller", which was replaced with "Another Part of Me" in the final version.

I don't know how to value NFTs and I don't even know how SEGA viewed NFTs nowadays.
Back then in 2021 SEGA of Japan began sales of NFT digital content utilizing blockchain technology through collaboration with double jump .tokyo, then in 2023 with OASYX, and then in 2024 with LaboNFT but I don't know how they went in term of sales.







SEGA also had registered a trademark for the term “Sega NFT” in Japan but so far I don't think it has been followed up.
NFTs are a terrible idea.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_dbFNWD910

Yeah, NFT is like the art market ... volatile.
It's hard to know exactly what will be worth money a decade from now.

Lego Leak Reveals Upcoming Sega Genesis Controller Set That Money Can't Buy Directly



Quote
The grainy image of the Lego Genesis controller has been doing the rounds on social media over the weekend, but Brick Built Blogs appears to have been one of the first to share it. The packaging for the controller set shows the faithful, albeit blocky controller sitting on a Lego plinth that it will presumably come with for display purposes.
It's a smaller set at 260 pieces, partly because it will be a gift with purchase. That means you will get the Lego controller for free should you meet certain requirements. That's the good news. The bad news is, according to the same leaks, the threshold is spending $130 in a single purchase on other Lego sets, and that the set can't be bought otherwise, no matter how much you ...

SEGA Stars 2 will bring four more SEGA characters to the live service game, including Pengo (the titular penguin from Pengo), Rappy (from Phantasy Star) and the Bonanza Brothers Mobo and Robo.

The size would be huge though.
As huge as Dreamcast controller may be.
