Play Michael Jackson Moonwalker Online

Michael Jackson Moonwalker came out in 1989 for MS-DOS as part of the Classic Games series, developed by Emerald Software and published by U.S. Gold. It was one of those late 80s computer adaptations of a popular arcade or console title, trying to capture the feel of the original Sega release on home computers of the era.

You control Michael Jackson through side scrolling levels, moving screen by screen to rescue children kidnapped by Mr. Big's henchmen. Your main tools are a magical hat you can throw as a boomerang weapon and your signature dance moves, which can stun or defeat enemies when performed. The game shifts pace abruptly, sometimes dropping into rhythm based dance segments or even transforming Michael into a robot or spaceship. It is not an easy game; enemies respawn quickly, and your energy depletes steadily just from spinning or special moves. Playing it feels like navigating a strange, energetic, and slightly disjointed tribute to Jackson's style.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
