Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden.

[Translucid]

the most amazing, free basketball/RPG event of the century. it's actually like, awesomely funny and very well written. it's pretty fun, too.

The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the "B-Ballnacht". Thousands upon thousands of the world's greatest ballers were massacred in a swath of violence and sports bigotry as the game was outlawed worldwide. The reason: the Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order. Among the few ballers and fans that survived the basketball genocide was Charles Barkley, the man capable of performing the "Verboten Jam"...

Flash forward 12 years to the post-cyberpocalyptic ruins of Neo New York, 2053. A Chaos Dunk rocks the island of Manhattan, killing 15 million. When the finger is put on the aging Charles Barkley, he must evade the capture of the B-Ball Removal Department, led by former friend and baller Michael Jordan, and disappear into the dangerous underground of the post-cyberpocalypse to clear his name and find out the mysterious truth behind the Chaos Dunk. Joined by allies along the way, including his son Hoopz, Barkley must face the dangers of a life he thought he gave up a long time ago and discover the secrets behind the terrorist organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S.

Alright Translucid, which Gamingw poster are you?

And yeah, this is the greatest indie RPG on the interwebs. Not only did we spend long, tireless hours spamming the internet with viral marketing but this game has appeared on official Lakers blogs and is currently a Something Awful favorite.

BTW this game is canon.

Oh my god. Brings me back to the 90s.

The decade when every sports player thought they could do something else. Pfft.

Re: Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden.

The point of the game was to make fun of the amateur PC RPG Maker community. It's basically a satire of every game that has bad pretentious dialog, anime inspired stories, stolen graphics, and worthless features like useless mini-games and a broken battle system.

It was also an experiment in viral marketing and internet spam marketing (we post on a few pages... then word of mouth does the rest) and it has over several thousand downloads and has appeared on several news blogs and official sports pages. It's nothing more than a joke game that has garnered HUGE success and pretty much every GW member is trying to turn things like CHAOS DUNK into internet meme's.

It could at least be a good game. which it isnt.

Re: Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden.

One man's opinion. Hundreds of others have found it enjoyable.

Re: Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden.

I think the length that the creators went to with the concept is mindblowing.

Re: Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden.

Funny how satire is always an excuse for crappiness.

Still, I am impressed that anyone went this far with this idea, and I want to try it.

Compared to other RPG Maker games it's well put together although it was made in Gamemaker and features enhanced DirectX10 graphix. So far, it's been compared with the likes of generic 2D RPG's like Final Fantasy whatever and Breath of Fire something. It's pretty much the best VidCon on the market and I guarantee you won't find a vidya gaym now or in the future that beats Barklay.

Did I mention the story is canon?
