Moonwalker: The Computer Game is a 1989 action game developed by Emerald Software for DOS, based on the Michael Jackson film. Unlike the side-scrolling console adaptations, this computer version features completely different gameplay styles across its levels, beginning with a top-down maze where you must gather items while evading overzealous fans.
How to play
The keyboard controls vary depending on the active level’s genre, but generally use the arrow keys to move and the Spacebar or Enter key to perform actions. In the first stage, your primary objective is to navigate the studio complex to find the scattered pieces of your motorcycle disguise before escaping.
Tips
- In the opening studio level, prioritize avoiding the pursuing fans; getting surrounded will quickly drain your energy.
- Take time to memorize the layout of the maze-like sections, as efficient routing is required to collect all necessary items before you are overwhelmed.
