Maco70 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I just got home from some obscure video game store I stumbled upon. Pretty sweet place, I was amazed by the NES still in the box and shrink wrapped, and the light gun. But I stopped dead when I saw a copy of Micheal Jackson's Moonwalker. It was $20. No case, or booklet. The label on the cartridge has some wear, but it looks fine, and it is in good condition to play. Should I buy it?

Dhsu Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 It's a decent game, but I can't say if it's worth $20... Perhaps consider, er..."trying"...before buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shining Mirage Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Well, it's your choice... I mean, you don't normally come across games like that in a store. Especially since my Aunt just recently found a fresh copy of Zelda (NES). Gold Cartridge. I wouldn't stand hearing less from her other than it being ab-solute luck. However, in your case, you have two options... Buying the item from the store that you're talking about... or buying it from OUR store...

RoboPanda Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I actually just found it in my local collectibles store with box and manual in pristine condition. It was in hiding in the back and bottom of a bunch of boxes, and I knew I had to get it. I paid $30 and don't feel guilty in the slightest. This game is possibly one of the best ever made I'd say 20 bucks is a go, dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

q-pa Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 For a second there I though you were talking about the movie. I saw a VCD copy for about $3 in a Chinatown store once and bought it. One of those films that's so bad it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenucha Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hooray for youtube! haha WOW. Ya' know... this game acutallly doesnt look THAT bad! Very creative on using the source material and using it for a fight system! I wasn't really aware Moonwalker had a game. Does he transform into a whatever it was in the end?

Yes and my guess that it is a mech-car-a-ma-bobin. Yes, that's my final answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverCoat Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 It was $20. No. I got the Megadrive version for $2.99 at a thrift store as seen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkspast Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 So I was playing this, and I find it a little strange that your goal is to rescue little kids. Some of which are in the trunks of cars, or in the closet... Say what ever happened to Michaels Robot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo0dNippl3 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I bought Shaq-Fu, cartridge only, at a thrift store for like $2.50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maco70 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 To be clear, I would not be buying this to play, I would sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A store here is selling a new copy for $25. $17.84 and it would've been an automatic lie if the chick (my aunt) didn't have a receipt... *mumbles*...lucky son of a....*smiles* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizyr Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Moonwalker was pretty good... They kept the theme of the levels to each of his songs/music videos, and holding down C (or whatever did the 'special move') would end up with him doing the end of the Smooth Criminal dance and knocking out everyone on-screen. Of course I have to look away at the screen whenever they do the introduction screen for each of the level. The one with the animated face of him going "WOOOH!!"

Say what ever happened to Michaels Robot? Doesn't he transform into the robot (with improved child-seeking abilities) if you happen to catch a rare randomly-falling meteorite?
