Michael Jackson's 9 Greatest Video Game Moments (Page 1)

Michael Jackson's 9 Greatest Video Game Moments

Michael Jackson, The King of Pop, was more than a musical icon and international entertainer. At heart, he was really just a big goofy kid who liked video games as much as he liked music. Sit back with GamePro as we Moonwalk through Michael's greatest moments in video games, from Thriller references to one of the best arcade games in history.

Few people were as gifted as Michael Jackson: millions of records sold, pet tigers in his backyard, the flashiest clothes ever made, billions of adoring fans and arguably the best video game collection on the face of the planet. He had it all. MJ was so famous, he could be seen across multiple industries, and the gaming world was no exception. These 9 moments are the ones that we'll always look back most fondly in Michael Jackson's memory.



#9: Final Fantasy: "Thriller"

While no one really liked the lackluster CG film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within that much, this hilarious Easter Egg proved to be more fun than the movie itself. (It's in the Highlights section, so it wasn't really hidden.) In fact, we suspect that the whole FF film could have been thrown out if they just replaced everything with MJ references.

"You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it!."

#8: Plants vs. Zombies

While the idea behind Plants vs. Zombies was already hilarious, the addition of this MJ reference made us realize one thing: every zombie game should give you the ability to don Michael Jackson's iconic red leather and dancing shoes. This was a concept sadly missing from Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Hopefully, the next Resident Evil will catch on.



#7: World of Warcraft (Moonwalk)

In the World of Warcraft, the Night Elves have it all. They've got the best special loot, the best outfits and the most polished character designs. But it doesn't stop there. If you're lucky enough to be a male Night Elf, you've pretty much got a license to Moonwalk through every raid and quest. Yep, no other race can emulate the trademark Billie Jean moves that come with the Night Elf's footwork, and it just looks so slick, you'll want to build a new character solely for dance parties. Yow!

Of course they were doing tons of tributes on BET and MTV. You forget just how much music he has put out.

#6 is so true, I used to get distracted and just listen to Billie Jean when it came on.

I never played moonwalker but I wish it would come out on the virtual console now.

He was such an inspiration. It's so sad he past especially without being able to revive his career like he planned with the tour in London and a new album. I will always enjoy listening to his music, best performer ever.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson.
