michael jackson makes a cameo appearance as space michael in "space channel 5", near the end of the game. the may 2007 issue of egm contains a quote from series creator tetsuya mizuguchi concerning what it was like to work with jackson: "we were in the middle of production of "space channel 5", in 1998 or 1999. i got a call from the u.s. from my partner - the executive producer of "space channel 5" - and he said, 'oh, michael wants to act in "space channel 5".' i said, 'who's michael?' 'who is michael jackson?' he said, "'the" michael jackson - the "real" michael jackson'. my partner had shown him the 60-to-70 percent complete version, when it was almost at the end of the game. we had one month to finalize. but michael wanted to do something, so we suggested that if he was ok with it, we could program the people in the game to do the michael jackson dance when taken over by aliens. he said 'yeah.' we initially had five aliens who danced. one of them became michael jackson."
