Michael Jackson's Moonwalker - Best Music

Postby Darran@Retro Gamer on Wed Jul 29, 2009 10:25 am

It's got to be Smooth Criminal, from the moment the coin gets flipped into the jukebox I was immediately hooked.

this is a tough one. the opening moment when he flips the coin into the jukebox was brilliant but i would go with the thriller stages with the zombies. another part of me is one of my favourite MJ songs and its brilliant in the game. it has a nice groove to it and suits the atmosphere with the first beat being played y what seems like church organs.

"Beat It" from stage 2 is my favourite MJ song, so that gets my vote!

the Mega Drive music was awesome but i can't help thinking what an SNES conversion would have sounded like with its superior sound chip.

I'd say 'Beat It' thanks to those awesome guitar riffs, which was replaced by keyboard or synthesizer during the game.

You could have Beat It playing over every level of every beat 'em up ever made and I'd still never tire of it.

Beat It, which is also one of a very few tunes of his I enjoy.

Going to be boring and say Beat It too, all that Eddie Van Halen-ey goodness converted into midi sexiness. Smooth Criminal was a close second.

I'd have to agree with that. It sets the tone pretty well!

Is it true that the Meagdrive Japanese version has Thriller in the Graveyard, but it got cut from the PAL release?

Smooth Criminal, because it's one of MJ's catchiest song and it puts you in the right mood from the start.

Another Part Of Me from the Graveyar levels, mainly because it sounds spot on to the original song.

I was listening to the mega drive soundtrack at work, and Another part of me had definite parts that reminded me of Sonic 2 Oil Ocean and Mystic Cave zone

In fact I recon that if you had never heard the actual another part of me it could pass as a Sonic background tune pretty nicely
