An early notable license for Sega, which culminated in a series of games that will likely never be rereleased.

Moonwalker for Genesis is alright, I'd say. It's basically a Shinobi game, except a little on the easier side (at least, until you start encountering Thriller zombies), and somewhat slower in pace. The FM synth renditions of Michael Jackson's songs sound alright, and there's a decent amount of enemy variety here. The controls sometimes felt a bit awkward to me however, and some enemies are particularly annoying to deal with (the aforementioned Thriller zombies) – especially considering you have to defeat some of them dozens or hundreds of times by the end of the game.

Overall – this is okay. Definitely a standout historical piece – a snapshot in time, when Michael Jackson was arguably at the peak of his popularity, and lent his likeness and feedback to a game for Sega's up and coming system. I don't think this is a must-play, but it's an interesting curiosity.
