Description

"Shaq Fu" is a 2D fighting game released for the Sega Game Gear in 1995, featuring the basketball superstar Shaquille O'Neal as its protagonist. In this unique and quirky game, players control Shaq as he stumbles upon a kung fu dojo while on his way to a charity basketball game in Tokyo. A dimensional portal transports him to an alternate dimension, where he must rescue a young boy from an evil mummy named Sett Ra. The game comprises various levels where Shaq fights against Sett Ra's minions through a series of duels, using martial arts techniques and special moves.

"Shaq Fu" for the Sega Game Gear is notorious for its unconventional pairing of a sports celebrity with a martial arts-themed fighting game, contributing to its mixed reception among gamers and critics alike. Despite the game's unique premise, it faced criticism for its controls, hit detection, and overall gameplay mechanics. However, it has since garnered a cult following, appreciated for its so-bad-it's-good charm and distinct place in video game history. The game's notoriety led to a modern sequel, "Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn," crowdfunded and released in 2018, as an attempt to redeem the original's reputation with improved gameplay and graphics, while maintaining its humorous tone.
