Apparently this is the arcade version of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. The Genesis version was a side-scroller.

I actually dig the chiptune Smooth Criminal.

Edit: Oh damn, cock-bot shows up at 8:25 and they're doing chiptune Beat It instead.

I have it for Sega Master System. Pretty strange game. The sound effect when you rescue kids from trunks of cars sticks with me for some reason.

Oh, you're right! Must've been misnamed like half of the other 1000+ games it shipped with.
