"Shaqfighter"?

Det utænkelige er ved at ske. Shaquille O'Neal er i de rette kredse muligvis bedst kendt for sin imponerende basketballkarriere, men i andre kredse forbindes hans navn imidlertid med skam og foragt. Ser du, i 1994 valgte den gode sportsmand at skabe et computerspil af så vederstyggelig en natur, at der stadig den dag i dag findes mennesker, som er evigt pint af den tragedie. Navnet på denne plage er intet ringere end Shaq-fu.

Nu lader det til, at rædslen vender tilbage. Det er kommet frem, at Shaq's licensfirma netop har registreret navnet Shaqfighter, og det kan næsten kun betyde én ting: Han har tænkt sig at lave endnu et computerspil. Jeg har heldigvis kun få minder - fortrængte minder - om det spil, men jeg håber, at den gode Shaq har lært et par ting eller to fra hans tidligere fejltagelser. Shaqfighter? Det varsler ilde.


English version:

The unimaginable is about to happen. Shaquille O'Neal is perhaps best known for his basketball career but to certain others his name will forever be associated with fear and loathing. Back in 1994 the sportsman chose to create a game that turned out so hideous, that some people to this very day remain scarred and tormented. They named this agony Shaq-fu.

Now it would seem that the horror is about to return. Shaq's licensing company has just registered a trademark for the name of Shaqfighter which will likely result in one thing: he's making a new game. Luckily my memories of Shaq-fu are few and suppressed but I sincerely hope that Shaq has learned a thing or two from his previous errors. Shaqfighter? This does not bode well.
