Shaquille O'Neal's Shaq-Fu
Virtual Shaquille O'Neal goes sightseeing before a big game, wanders into a dojo and enters a portal to save a little boy. What follows are subpar graphics, ridiculous characters and some of the worst gameplay of any video game in history. It doesn't help that Shaq is dressed in mesh shorts the entire time he's fighting ninjas and princes. A perennial contender for the top 10 worst video games, the Shaq-Fu led to the creation of shaqfu.com, which is still online with the sole mission of preventing "other generations from feeling the corruption of this game and its evil." (Full disclosure: The author used to own Shaq Fu and quite enjoyed it. The author was also 12.)
