Yu Suzuki is believed to have been involved. The late pop icon Michael Jackson wasn’t just a gamer – he was a keen fan of Sega and collaborated with the Japanese company multiple times during the ’90s. Sega would adapt the Moonwalker movie into a series of video games and would later work with Jackson…
