   OK, this is strange. Yesterday at work we were discussing our favorite fighting games, and I was discussing the fact that I still have my Genesis Shaq-fu cartridge, even though I’ve never owned a Saga Genesis.

   One of my favorite really bad games.

   I remember Shaq Fu. I don’t know what was worse, the dialog, the blatant Shaquilla mortal combat ripoff, the ethnic stereotyping, or that none of the special moves ever worked. I just remember, at the time, Shaq was in some magazine describing himself as a rapper, a movie star (remember Blue Chips - no one else does either), and (lastly, in case you forgot) a basketball player. I even remember some interview or commerical where he says he wish they made free-throws worth three points (since he was so bad at them and wanted more points for the few he gets) - neglecting to realize that this would essentially make free-throw points a more important part of the game. This would make him a crappier basketball player…. I don’t know, I guess I don’t like Shaq. I have to give him some credit, though. He has made the most out of being oafish, being able to shove a ball in a hole, and of having subpar intelligence.

   I remember Blue Chips very well; it was a Shady Oak classic. Oh, we wanted to be an art house so bad… and they kept sending us Blue Chips.

   Trivia note: Blue Chips had approximately 17 different versions of the song \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\”Baby Please Don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’t Go\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\” in it, one of them by John Cougar Mellencamp. I saw the movie in fragments four times a day for a month, and over a decade later the song has the ability to make me reflexively swing my fist at my own face.
