  • Shaq-Fu is an SNES game that was reviewed by The Nerd in the episode An Angry Nerd Christmas Carol. The game is famous for having the worst control for any fighting game.
  • The gameplay is based around Shaq Fµ, an obscure style of martial arts often compared to Chinese Water Torture. Practitioners are rare, as few are capable of withstanding the techniques for long enough to learn them properly without descending into madness. Only with the power of Shaq Fµ will you be able to defeat the baddies and save the day. Shaq Fu is widely considered to be one of the greatest games of all-time, alongside other gems like Superman 64 or Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. A sequel, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn, is in development, but will likely not be as good as the original.
  • Shaq Fu is a Fighting Game released in 1994. It was developed by Delphine Software and published by Electronic Arts.
