Michael Jackson’s old arcade games up for grabs
They told him, “Don’t you ever come around here,
“Unless you’re really good at Soul Calibeer”
There’s Frogger in their eyes
And Crystal Castles in their leers
So beat it, just beat it
This April, Michael Jackson will auction his arcade collection, including Frogger, Soul Calibeeer, and an old Zoltar machine. Zoltar, you guys.
Check out the Julien’s catalogue—either MJ doesn’t own a Moonwalker, or he ain’t sellin’ it.

I Love the 80s: Michael Ian Black is REALLY into Ms. Pac-Man

The prices are so good too! I could theoretically afford not just a Sega R-360, but Michael Jackson’s R-360.
Or, you know, the opening bids or whatever.
If we all pitch in…we could just pull this off…
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: Zoltar frightens me. Whenever I see Zoltar, I feel as though I’m at risk of having my soul transplanted into the body of a 35-year-old Tom Hanks.
Also, who restocks those fortune cards?
Witchcraft!
There is SUCH a soft spot in my heart for Crystal Castles cabinets with trackball and all. Someday I need to try to understand why it is I love that game so much.
