Pepsi promotion
editI distinctly remember that there was a famous Pepsi promotion going on with this. It was a taste test involving two unmarked cups with Pepsi and Coke. I am not sure about the details because I did not take the taste test. However, I remember people who did take the taste test, and they were given a game card after the taste test. The game card allowed players to put maybe unlimited credits into the game by swiping a card reader that was next to the coin slot. --Sp0 (talk) 22:01, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Split?
editshould this be split into seperate arcade and console versions? I would say try to avoid this if possible! I think once we get more text in there, it will be okay --Larsinio 22:34, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure, but there's also the computer games, which were done by US Gold, not Sega, and even had a slightly different title. Should that part be moved to another article? - Stormwatch 18:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- Come to think about it now, a split in three articles would be a good thing.--Stormwatch (talk) 15:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- I would like to say go ahead with the split as well, but the problem we should be focusing on right now is proper citations for the information we already have in the article. I've already added a few recently added links to reference the game. I'm just stating that I don't think splitting should be our main priority for the topic. And if we do decide to split the topics, it would be necessary to have enough information for the sole topic, rather than referencing or comparing the works repeatedly. A great example of splitting was already done for Sonic the Hedgehog's 16-bit and 8-bit video games. I only fear that the three topics would have more information for the arcade and home consoles, and not enough for the home computer release. Perhaps the home computer release could go with the consoles? Troyoda1990 (talk) 18:30, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- No, I still think the computer game should be kept separate. Other than the license, they're completely unrelated.--Stormwatch (talk) 16:46, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- Good point. I was only suggesting arcade vs. home to prevent comparing the three games altogether. Also, what would help with the citations and sources issue is if anyone had a link or uploaded published copy of Moonwalker's game manual. Thus, anything that needs to be sourced can be referenced to that. Troyoda1990 (talk) 18:25, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Parody.
editI don't know where to put it, but there are some hilarious Flash parody of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker here. The movies consist of Michael Jackson from his Sega Genesis platform game and other classic game characters. The first one is inserting him in various games from 8 and 16-bit era. Two others have him fighting the evil Princess Peach to save the world.
I'm sure those parody are not very encyclopedic, but they'll surely give you a good laugh. - DTRY (talk) 20:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Dead external links
editSome of the external links are dead, i.e. they give error messages 403, 404, 500 or 502. Just a heads up. Cheers! 93.166.114.170 (talk) 21:35, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
