10 Disturbing Gaming Moments You Just Went With As A Kid

10. Michael Jackson Crotch-Grabbing & Saving Crying Children In Moonwalker

In what's perhaps one of the most bizarre games to look back on considering everything that then transpired for poor ol' Jacko in the 2000s, his 1988 video game tie-in to the Moonwalker movie actually featured him snatching up a whole load of crying children, occasionally reaching for his crotch in the process. No, really, as if the movie (where Jacko transforms into a giant space ship and flies away at the end) wasn't barmy enough, the game put you in control of the no-nosed menace as he used the power of dance to complete a series of platform and brawling levels. Credit where credit's due, the game was damn fun - especially as it released at the height of Michael Jackson's career - letting you bust out the (then not-creepy and thoroughly badass) crotch-grab as a special move, all backed by licensed chiptune versions of tracks like Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean and Bad to make it official. In fact, check it out - more artists should totally make old-school versions of their songs, as you can't get more joyous than a 16-bit version of Another Part of Me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzsIBpKwp6U
