It was a bad idea, executed terribly, but the oddity its mere existence was evidently enough to drive interest in the crowd-funded beat-em-up Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn. During the fighting game boom of the 90s, poor controls and strange characters were common, but putting a basketball star in a fighting game made Shaq Fu stand out. Shaq Fu received mediocre reviews on release, but seems to have aged even worse. The story mode was reasonably ambitious for its time, with a small sprite of Shaq traversing an overworld map, walking from battle to battle, but it forced the player to control Shaq, and the fighting was closer to Sega’s 1993 fighter Eternal Champions than more mainstream fighting franchises. Nearly every character was faster than Shaq, with superior special moves.

The rest of the cast included an alien cat-girl, an undead magic user, a voodoo practitioner, a magically-gifted swordsman, a stand-in for Mortal Kombat's Goro called Beast, and the sorcerous mummy Sett Ra, among others. The game correctly represented his height of over seven feet, but as a result, many of his attacks would go over other character's heads. He had only two special moves, a flaming kick that had less reach than his standard attacks, and an awkward forward-back-forward motion projectile with a dangerously long wind-up.

One of the oddest design decisions was making Shaq himself one of the worst characters in the game. Flash 89 1,803,528 plays Sports Heads Cards: Soccer Squad Swap.
