Who remembers these games?

It's amazing that someone actually remembered the Sega CD for something other than Night Trap.

A couple of those made a "worst games ever" article in Nintendo Power magazine years ago. I think it was "Shaq-Fu", and that Michael Jordan adventure game.

By the way I'm sure "Sonic the Hedgehog CD" is the game people most remember that Sega Genesis accessory for.

Michael Jackson: Moonwalker was awesome, actually. I remember when Shaqfu was a thing and all the gaming magazines had articles on it. The game seemed like a big deal then I rented it one day from our long gone mom and pop video store.

some guy actually went out and brought all the copies of Shaqfu he could find. He use to have a site, was pretty funny.

Another site appeared that was the same idea, To buy and destroy copies of the game (although I can't remember the name). The plot of the game is rather strange and the controls are just awful. The only other game from the list I've played was bulletproof (not owned by me), which was dumb, over the top, and just generic. But I've played worse.

Are you thinking of the ET video game for the Atari 2600, where the unsold copies were buried in the New Mexico desert?

I remember seeing Bulletproof at Blockbuster back in the good ol' days when I used to rent games from there. I never played it, though.

I actually liked Michael Jackson: Moonwalker. It made no sense and the concept was insane.

I wish "Michael Jackson's: Moonwalker" was available for download in the Wii Shop or PS-Store. That would have made huge profits shortly after MJ died since tons of people would have downloaded it.

It's a 1st-party game by SEGA, so it's probably pretty good.

I remember my aunt giving me some Mary Kate and Ashley: Sweet Sixteen game which was basically a Mario Party rip-off. It was actually playable

Was there a similar site set up to get rid of ET as well? I was only aware of the shaq fu websites. I've never played that infamous game, was before my time but I have seen it in action and didn't look too appealing to say the least!



Surprisingly I still have 2 stores open close by. The rental stores are becoming a dying breed. With cheap online rental services, games dropping in price to the point were its almost the same price as renting it in store, and cheap digital distribution there isn't really any demand for these places anymore. Same goes for movies as well. I'm happy the market has progressed this way, but its a bit sad at the same time that these places have failed to keep up the pace.

"Michael Jackson Moonwalker" seems creepy and paranormal. I like it.

The most weird game I ever played was a kind of "geometric-outer space" game from MSX.

That Home Improvement game kicked mah self in the nether region. It was THAT hard. *ouchies*

I honestly really enjoyed Micheal Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City. It was bizarre but I found a lot of enjoyment out of it aha.

No, I'm pretty sure I heard about the guy buying all the copies of Shaqfu. I think he was just..really obsessed with the game though.

I downloaded the ROM for this title and found it quite disturbing. The pelvic thrusts and the little children yelling "Michael" had me laughing but also in turn made me shake my head in disgust.

In reference to Shaq-Fu.....I also remember renting this title when it was first released and playing it on the SNES. At that time 2-d fighters were popping up everywhere (mid '90s flavor of the week) with sloppy controls, storylines that didn't make sense and just all around horrible gameplay. Some titles include but are not limited to SHAQ-FU, Ballz, Rise of the Robots, Kasumi Ninja and a lot of SNK titles.

Yeah Street Fighter II started the mid-90s fighting game fad. My favorite game that came out of that was "TMNT Tournament Fighters" by Konami. Various TMNT characters were perfect for a fighting game with SF:II controls for the special moves.
