dancing. Obviously, if you need some serious dance power in your arsenal, you look to none other than Michael Jackson himself. Of course, the game couldn't actually call the character Michael Jackson, but apparently the name Space Michael wasn't off the table. And Space Michael looked and sounded suspiciously like Real Michael. Yep. The King of Pop reigns supreme even in outer space.

In Final Fantasy Tactics, unique characters were always better than generic ones. By the end of the game, most players had gone through enough side quests and epic battles to fill their party with Agrias Oaks, Beowulf, Mustadio Bunansa, and the epic T.G. Cid. However, the toughest character to get out of all of them was Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII. Cloud required a very specific series of events to have transpired before he could be recruited, and by the time he joined your party he was starting off at level one when the rest of your party was easily at level fifty. Even after exhaustive level grinding, he couldn't use his special limit break command without finding his Materia Blade, which was at the top of a freaking volcano.

General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev was the last head of state of the USSR. Why? Probably because he spent all of his time dancing with Zangief in Street Fighter 2 instead of running the Soviet superpower. Seriously, this cameo was just too goofy for words. Politicians in video games? Awesome.
