Long-Lost Footage of Michael Jackson Sega Game Rediscovered at a Car Boot Sale
The footage features recordings Michael Jackson made for a Sega live-action game Scramble Training.
Rare footage of Scramble Training, a long-lost Sega live-action game featuring Michael Jackson, has been rediscovered at a car boot sale in the UK.
Scramble Training is a Sega AS-1 motion simulator game developed by Sega AM3 and manufactured by Sega. It was released in 1993 for Sega World's theme parks. Michael Jackson played a major role in the game, recording several videos for it.
In the game, players take the role of new pilots on a training mission in an eight-man spacecraft, with Commander Jackson guiding them through the tasks.
Scramble Training no longer exists so there were almost no records of how the game looked like except shaky camcorder footage. And, now the original master of the footage was miraculously found at a car boot sale launched by a relative of a former employee of Sega Amusements Europe who didn't even know what the old tape they were selling was.
After discovering the footage, a fan group of game developers and the Oxford Duplication Centre extracted the video files and uploaded them to YouTube and the Internet Archive. The footage in the online archive features audio recordings in both English and Japanese and shows the main video contents of the title. However, gameplay elements, motion data, and an introductory film filmed by Jackson remain undiscovered.
