Michael Jackson, The Online Game

Planet Michael is a massively multiplayer online game devoted to the music and life of the late Michael Jackson. No, this is not a joke.

"We put a focus on something that will truly allow fans to immerse themselves in a Michael Jackson-like universe or music-video-like world and interact with each other and then go on adventures and do gameplay stuff and socialize," Josh Gordon of developer SEE Virtual Worlds tells USA Today.

The game will feature areas based on songs like Beat It and Smooth Criminal. Players won't use violence on quests, but dancing.

Planet Michael is a free-download that claims to be "The Ultimate Michael Jackson Online Game." (Isn't it the only Michael Jackson online game?) Planet Michael is aimed at players 13 years-old and up. That is not a joke, either.
'Planet Michael' will let players build virtual Jackson worlds.

    Haha I remember back in the day playing a Michael Jackson game for the Sega Genesis. I can't believe they're making this now...

    Interesting fact though: Michael Jackson has made hundreds of millions of dollars... After his death

    I believe they actually made a Michael Jackson game for Sega or some other old bumfuck system, in which you defeated enemies with dance moves. Turning the concept into an MMORPG is just...augh
