Michael Jackson worked on Sonic 3?

I agree with Watts & Arkhangelsk, i.e. the bits about the japanese composer just re-hashing the chords in his own way for the game, and about having a hankering to play sonic 3 again! but my hats off to Qjimbo and Kaleb G. for making/finding this...I had my brother and sisters around when watching this not only were we laughing in awe...but man that mix of Ice cap + MJ's Who is it...simply uncanny!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

tetre , I see what you're trying to say , however there are other references thats leading us to believe this whole MJ/sonic 3 ...er..scandal? primarily:

1) The wikipedia discussion detailing who the people in the credits were
(especially the fact that "Michael Jackson brought the team to Sega, not
vice-versa")

2) Other songs especially `Stranger in Moscow' and the final credits tune go
pretty well together (why Jackson/his music people would decide to steal
back a song they decided for a video game years ago is anyone's guess)
Give this mix a listen though: http://cinos.gunsha.com/s3_credits_mj.mp3

3) Last I read the original lot who made the documentary have actually gotten
hold of one of the musicians and are aiming to clear this up...all the
theories evidence etc seem positive (the original authors forum is: http://www.sws2b.com/forums/index.ph...opic=6683&st=0

I'll tell you this though...this is definitely a strange form of VG Drama!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

well I think this thread may be coming to close, if so then here's something to put the final nail in the coffin,the tune to go with the scandal!

yeah yeah I know, `clean-up' was not on the list of things to do with it but it's a start! Whaddaya think?

How ya doing, buddy?

Thanks Joe, as to the whole `Mega collection' stance I'm of the opinion that while Sonic for the pc was ported from its original form (i.e. Genesis/MegaDrive ROM cart thing had to be taken apart and reassembled for the PC) the console version benefitted from a `console specific emulator' (I use the term loosely) that ran the actual ROM images (Nintendo/Sony etc just paid to have the rights to bundle the image on their discs)

So technically you have the original cartridge on disc, and theres no need to re-issues liscenses (from musicians and what have you) to re-produce the material

the original forum where this whole thing was documented discusses this whole issue in detail, check it: http://www.sws2b.com/forums/index.ph...0jackson&st=30

on a seperate note: I'm banned? What'd I do? Is this coz of the track I'll clean it up man! honest!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
