One click on this link will send you to the arcade room owned by the King of Pop. pinsane.com/pinorama/events/MJ_09/kr/michael_jackson_arcade_entry.htmlI don't see the Moonwalker arcade anywhere. I guess he disliked owning one for some reason, but if we see it, then I'm wrong. The most interesting things in his arcade room in my opinion are these: * NBA HangTime (I think I still have the N64 version, and this game is pretty much the best basketball game I've ever played.) * A Super NES in a stand-up cabinet * Neo-Geo MVS cabinet (There are four games in it, but I can't tell what they are.) * Galaxy Force (Version II) * SEGA's R-360 * Super Mario Bros. arcade * Two Data East arcades: Karate Champ and Caveman Ninja. * That Nintendo arcade behind Midway's Pac-Man cabinet, which is probably Donkey Kong or another arcade version of an NES title. And the most interesting of all is this.

This is the information text about the tour (obtained by OCR):
Michael Jackson Arcade Collection
This is a virtual tour of the arcade section of the "Collection of the King of Pop", the Michael Jackson Exhibition held on April 19-25, 2009, It should be noted that these interactive panoramas were not taken at the Neverland Ranch; rather they were lensed at the Beverly Hills display area of the auction site.
On December 10 2008 Julien‘s Auctions announced the sale of over 2000 pieces of Michael Jackson memorabilia, Jackson had contracted with the auction house to remove the property from the foreclosed Neverland Ranch, It took 30 men and 10 semi-trucks over 3 months to remove the items from Neverland, Subsequently, Jackson had a change of heart and on March 4th sued Julien‘s to prevent the sale of his property, The Los Angeles Superior Court ruled on April 3rd that the sale could go on, but in a settlement announced on April 14th the auction was cancelled and converted into a twelve day public exhibition of the collection after which it was returned to Jackson.
Julien‘s claimed they had spent over 2 million dollars staging the memorabilia in preparation for the auction, The items were displayed in a vacant department store (a former Robinsons/May located next to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel), This store was slated to be demolished and converted to condominiums, but the souring economy delayed those plans and the building was being rented out for events including as a mm set, ln fact, prior to the auction, the building had been dressed as a casino for an episode of Viva Laughlin—and the gilding was used to great effect to display some of Jackson‘s more rococo pieces.
Yeah, indeed, it's interesting that a Virtual Boy is in there.
I wonder if he actually played all those games. If he wasn't happy as a child, then that wouldn't matter if he got to own all this stuff eventually ^_^
What other Nintendo games can you guys identify? I think I saw Killer Instinct somewhere.
