Here's one that's "unpopular" that I used to play a lot: Shaq Fu. Yes, it's s***, but it doesn't deserve as much hate as it does get, because there are a lot worse fighting games out there, and there even were worse ones around the time the game came out. Still, I do have fond memories of sitting down with friends and bashing the hell out of each other/ridiculing how small the character sprites were.

Shaq Fu does deserve sh*t, it just gets more because Shaq is in it. I still stand by my opinion that it had great character animation, though.

Yeah, it's just too bad it didn't have great characters.

Seriously, I challenge anybody to remember a fighter from that game that wasn't Shaq.

Yeah those were great games. I was really hooked on those back in the day.

Sad thing is, those are probably what they were called.

And it has me thinking of another fighter: Eternal Champions for Genesis.

**GK Punk** · 08-19-2009, 05:35 PM

Loved Eternal Champions. Me and my brother were obsessed with it.

*Ninjinister* · 08-19-2009, 05:37 PM

Leotsu, Diesel, Sett, Kaori, Beast, Nezu, Voodoo, Colonel.

I know there's more, but I don't recall them all by name.

EDIT: Eternal Champions on the Sega CD was THE S***! The violence made Mortal Kombat look wussy in comparison. It just didn't play as well...

Screw Sega for canceling the third one.

Peanut · 08-19-2009, 05:38 PM

Oh, God. I'd rather play King of the Monsters.

*XERO* · 08-19-2009, 05:41 PM

Funny story. I got Eternal Champions for Christmas when I actually was supposed to get Super Street Fighter II.

Talk about a shoryuken to the the groin.

**GK Punk** · 08-19-2009, 05:46 PM

That was an awesome Christmas for me actually, I Got Eternal Champions, Samurai Showdown, and Ranma 1/2 Super Battle for the Super Famicom.

*XERO* · 08-19-2009, 05:47 PM

Dude, you should've been there the day I got Sonic 3. I f*cking could NOT stop smiling for the rest of the day.

愛 · 08-19-2009, 09:12 PM

I got Mario Bros. 3 for Easter.

**Jester** · 08-19-2009, 09:14 PM

Silly question: How many here have actually played the E.T. cart for the Atari?

**GK Punk** · 08-19-2009, 09:18 PM

My friend still owns a copy. He won't me destroy it for some odd reason.

**Jester** · 08-19-2009, 09:21 PM

We sold ours when we sold our Atari in '97....worst decision we ever made...

It and The Empire Strikes Back were 2 of my most hated games when that was our only consul.

I own a couple copies of it, actually, and I've played it once or twice. Sure, it's terrible, but there were a lot of really awful Atari games. E.T. gets the worst rap because it was so over produced that it crashed the industry. It's still not the worst Atari game I've ever played, but it's certainly the worst game to have the biggest impact on the industry.

*XERO* · 08-19-2009, 09:25 PM

I'm surprised they haven't had the balls to make another E.T. game.

Yeah, there's far worse. Try Custer's Revenge.

Best Christmas morning ever for me was 1991 when I unwrapped that shiny new SNES. It was the last one in a 150 mile radius of Little Rock Arkansas. I think the sales clerk only held it for Mom to drive there because he wanted to be treated like a hero upon arrival, which he certainly was.
