Title: Charles Barkley Shut Up And Jam: Gaiden
Post by: Johnny C on 31 Jan 2008, 07:00
Awesome (http://kotaku.com/350994/charles-barkley-post-apocalyptic-trailer-so-cool). At one point Barkley tells a homeless kid in the ruined future, "If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest."

It appears to be made with RPG Maker 2000 so anyone with a half a Pentium can run it.

Shoo-in for best game of all time, if you ask me.

Seriously, best video game trailer I've ever seen.

Apparently it's free for download from some website or another.

Wait, I have to put effort into finding it and playing it?

My interest may be dwindling.

Fine, you little bitch. (http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=68488.0)

I hope these guys don't end up getting sued, though.

Did you know there are people out there who aren't enthusiastic about this game?

What is the world coming to?

they must be blind because no one who could see could be anything but enthusiastic after watching that trailer.

What makes it so great is that it's actually more fun than a great deal of the games it parodies, and it plays it almost completely straight. Replace B-Ball with magic and change the names of the characters and you've got an actual JRPG.

Seriously though, the guys who made this are practically begging to be sued. Not only does it use several basketball players' names and likenesses, as well a copyrighted title from an existing video game (although who knows if whichever company made that game is still even around), but the game also has licensed music. Well, the trailer does at least, I haven't gotten around to booting up the game yet.

The remixed Space Jam track is the title music.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the in-game music is copyrighted. It's good. Can't place it, though, don't play JRPGs.

Anyway, it's too late now, this is half (really good) game and all meme. Doesn't mean they won't get sued.

I doubt they'll get sued because 1) they aren't making a profit off the game and 2) it's hilarious and I'm sure if anyone in the game got wind of it, they'd probably laugh.

In 2041 Barkley will be 78 years old.  Maybe it's Lil' Barkley?

No, it's Barkley. Ballers are timeless.

Playthrough of the game (Work-in-Progress). Complete with a (pretty good) Barkley impression.
