History

The ride film made its public debut at AM Show 1993 in August 1993, and was likely distributed alongside the Sega AS-1.

Even with such a known celebrity attached to the title, there exist very few recollections of the ride film’s gameplay and experience. The software is entirely unpreserved and and only a few off-screen sources exist of its video portions.

Locations

Development

In late 1992, while Jackson was in Japan for his Dangerous World Tour, he met with Sega of Japan and worked with developers Sega AM5 as a celebrity actor for the upcoming Sega AS-1. Shooting scenes for both of the hardware’s ride films, Jackson played a small role in Megalopolis: Tokyo City Battle and would star in the titular Michael Jackson in Scramble Training.
