Own A Piece of Michael Jackson's Arcade



Michael Jackson needs to pay for more plastic surgery. Will you help him by buying his old six-player X-Men arcade cabinet?

Times are tough for The King of Pop (if you can even still call him that). Recently reported being under treatment for a "auction off [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1143007/Michael-Jackson-receiving-treatment-MRSA-type-superbug-spread-body.html] a good chunk of his personal arcade. Either that or he really just doesn't like playing Virtua Tennis 2 anymore.

Scanning the auction's catalog isn't just like reading through a history of arcade gaming, it's like looking at a chronology of gaming itself. We've got plenty of old arcade faves like your Dance Dance Revolutions and Street Fighters, pinball classics like Star Trek: The Next Generation, even "hey do you remember this pile?" fare like The Lost World: Jurassic Park and War Gods. But there's also demo stations for everything from the Dreamcast to the Super Nintendo to the Virtual Boy, as well.

Virtual Boy? I guess when you're The King of Pop you just buy whatever you want and think about it later. Anyway, for those of you with mountains of cash, the auction is being run by Julien's and will be starting on April 24. As for me, I'll just stick with surfing Craigslist and hoping that somebody puts up a Primal Rage cabinet for cheap.

I gotta feel sorry for Mike because when it comes to health it is no laughing matter. I'm shocked that the person who owns the rights to the Beatles needs money to pay for surgery. Where are his investments that is supposed to cover him for life after the millions he made from the 80's and 90's?

Bychance Keane Ng would you happen to have a catalog of the items he is selling?
Here's the concise list [http://www.juliensauctions.com/auctions/2009/michael-jackson/icatalog4.html]. I'll edit them into the post as well.

That is freakin' hilarious.

I wanna get me that X-men 6-player cabinet though. I used to play it with a bunch of friends all day outside this ice cream stand. if you unplug the game and plug it back in a couple of times, you get over 100 free lives.

I don't know if I'd want to go NEAR anything MJ owned... let alone sit in it and swivel joysticks...
