*Get a brief summary on Jackson's pre-Sega history in the initial History section, and transition that into: his success exposing him to wealth and nice things and video games and Sega, specifically arcade games. Jackson had more access to private arcade games than the overwhelming majority of people, and where most people's experiences with arcade games were a limited-time thing usually in an arcade or public place, Jackson was intimately experiencing early Sega stuff in his own home. Along with the home stuff, of course. So when people say Jackson was a Sega fan, it's not just like "it was something he enjoyed". No, this dude was a Sega nerd. And again, this is the god-celebrity of Earth here. And even HE'S looking up to Sega. Frick look how legit happy he gets around Sega behind the scenes stuff and playing arcade games. I mean the dude had a freakin R360. Something like that, but not as rambling.

Jackson inserted into AS-1 rides after completion

  • So for this and all relevant articles: MJ was (largely?) inserted into the AS-1 ridefilms after the fact. Which is obvious in retrospect, but it explains why the MJ bits are entirely separate from the real content.
re: this, Hironao Takeda's various blogposts about the development of the AS-1 do specifically mention that Jackson played a complete, localised build of Scramble Training on his December 1992 visit and agreed on the spot to film inserts for the ridefilm afterward
I'm not as certain about Megalopolis, as that seems to have been released later on in 1993 - having said that, clips of it were previewed on British television in late 1992 around the exact same time as MJ's visit, so he probably saw some of that in advance too
