Barkley: Shut Up and Jam Gaiden
Somebody used an RPG-maker engine to create an epic fantasy, sci-fi sequel to Charles Barkley's old "Shut Up and Jam" Sega game. Ridiculous yet amusing.
Excerpt of the plot synopsis:
Twelve years prior to the game, Charles Barkley, in an attempt to impress his son, performs a Chaos Dunk -- and inadvertently kills almost everyone present. As a result, basketball was made illegal and nearly all great players were killed in "The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041" (a.k.a "B-Ballnacht").
In 2053, another Chaos Dunk rocks Manhattan, killing fifteen million, and the blame falls on Charles -- who is believed to be the only human capable of performing the Chaos Dunk. With the help of the Ultimate Hellbane, Charles escapes his pursuers: the B-Ball Removal Department. Charles follows him through the B-Ball Catacombs to the tomb of Lebron James, discovering that the Ultimate Hellbane is actually Balthios - the Octoroon great grandson of Lebron James. James contacts Charles from the B-ball dimension, offering him a warning which tells him to "seek the Cyberdwarf."
After James vanishes into the b-ball dimension, Charles and Balthios enter the sewers under Neo New York to find the Cyberdwarf. Shortly after entering, they encounter a cyborg -- who they discover is Vince Carter. Carter, now named Vinceborg 2050, reveals that -- after he was killed in the Purge, someone had rebuilt him. However, he cannot remember who did it or why, and joins Charles and Balthios hoping to recover this memory. The three find Cyberdwarf in a town called Cesspool X, who assumes that Balthios brought him the wrong Barkley -- he wanted Hoopz. Cyberdwarf joins them and they rush to the church, where Balthios took Hoopz before rescuing Charles.
Upon reaching the Church, they find that Michael Jordan -- the head of the B-Ball Removal Department -- had arrived before them, killed the priest Larry Bird, and is holding Hoopz hostage. When Hoopz approaches the altar of the post-cyberpocalyptic version of God, Clispaeth, Cyberdwarf notes that Hoopz might be "The One." This triggers the return of Vinceborg's memory, and he explains that he was created by the terrorist organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S. to kill him. Charles, Balthios, and Cyberdwarf try to stop Vinceborg, with Jordon joining with him. Vinceborg and Jordan retreat after being defeated, and Charles, Hoopz, Balthios, and Cyberdwarf return to Cesspool X.
Here's the cutscene and battle with main villain Michael Jordan, whose graphics appear to have been lifted from "Michael Jackson's Moonwalker":
Here's a battle with "Ghost Dad," aka Bill Cosby:
Here's the final battle with "Shadow Barkley":
Pretty amusing, for both fans of b-ball games and of RPG games.

The art work they put into this game is pretty impressive also...
