10 TERRIBLE Video Games (You Should Play Anyway)

Shaq Fu sort of cultivated its own legend around its lack of quality. Even if it wasn't very mediocre, being released following the home debuts of Super Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat II it never stood a chance.

So hated was basketball star Shaq’s foray into video games that a group of players decided to do something about it and made it their goal to spread the gospel of destroying as many physical copies of the game as possible.

Shaq Fu has spent so long being included in every list of the "worst games of all time" that people seem to be just groomed into instinctively shuddering when they hear the name.

It may well be terrible, but it’s not the black hole of creativity that the legend makes it sound. It has a consistent visual design and is decently well animated so props for that! But admittedly that doesn’t save it from being slow, shallow and absolutely paling in comparison to its peers.

Regardless, it’s now a part of the great tapestry of gaming because of its extreme reaction so in many ways it's worth taking a look at it for that alone. Plus, if you can get your hands on a copy you can oppose the Destroy Shaq Fu regime and preserve this odd piece of gaming history.
