Michael Jackson's Moonwalker

FROM: Sega

BEHIND THE MUSIC: A "Smooth Criminal"-era arcade and Genesis title that saw the King of Pop shimmying it out with suited thugs to rescue kidnapped children, before that concept became so ironic.

WHY IT ROCKS: You mean, apart from an inexplicable cameo by Bubbles, who turns you into a laser-spewing robot? Reasonably enjoyable to play, and featuring MJ's creative input, it showed that with a little TLC, even the strangest SoundScan spin-off could be good.
