Shaq Fu

Entire page consists of a badly-written 'review' of a video game. -- Dcfleck 00:20, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)

Keep It is not a reason to delete it because the article sounds like a review. There are many video game Wikipedia articles and this should be included. It is somewhat a notable video game in the 1990s. I agree it is a bad article and needs to be rewritten. Anonymous Cow 01:06, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Comment:: I don't think it is gamecruft. I'm not the person who started this article but one of my hobbies is video games. I have heard the game Shaq Fu. In fact, it has mentioned as one of the worst video games of all time by several mainstream video game press such as Gamespot [1]. Seanbaby (Google PageRank: 7 Featured in Slashdot) mentioned the game on his popular The 20 Worst Video Games of All Time (Google PageRank: 5). It has been featured as a news headline joke at Yale's student newspaper in 1995 and ESPN. I think the definition of a gamecruft is a Mario Bros. item that only plays a minor part in a game. *cough* Freezie *cough*

Keep. Notable game. I remember reading an Amiga Power review of it, which also called it the worst game of its kind. — JIP | Talk 07:20, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, needs refs though - David Gerard 09:42, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep but rewrite to take out the POV. Other video games, many less notable, have Wikis of their own, so it definitely needs one. Also, we will probably have to Disambig it, because of the (equally bad IMHO) movie of the same name. --Kitch 12:15, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup. Note that this HAS been mocked in many publications as being a lousy game (in reference to the article being POV). --InShaneee 16:04, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
