I can’t exactly recall when did it become a trend for people to make MJ jokes. They all seems harmless until he passed away… and then the musics and videos starts playing… and then you remembered how awesome the man was… and how you secretly dances along in your bathroom with your naked ass.
My biggest memory of the man was less of his performances, but amazingly, more of his game, Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker. A game made for the Sega Genesis and release back in 1990, it’s one of the few games I manage to beat as a kid. It had a very simple concept, you controls MJ to walk around, sprinkle fairy dust, finding/saving childrens and dancing the bad guys to hell. But it’s a really bizarre concept when you think about it now, and it definitely stand out from the crowd.
I played the game again today on emulator for old times sake… and perhaps my little goodbye to the times I spend playing the game as a kid.
Goodbye, MJ.
Goodbye, sweet 90s.
