The 1990-04-24 build of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is a sample version of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for the Sega Mega Drive. Discovered in September 2017 by an American game collector by the YouTube username brian the hedgehog[1], the cartridge was later acquired and dumped by Landon White, who soon released the ROM on August 6, 2018.[2]

Dated four months before the final game's release, this sample version contains a number of interesting differences - most notably the presence of a full version of the song "Thriller", and a different ending which more-closely resembles the film.[2]
