Barkley brings the jam in homebrew RPG demo

Enter homebrew developer Chef Boyardee, who stepped in where the rights-holders wouldn't to create Tales of Game's Studios Presents Chef Boyardee's Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa. The game takes everything you loved about Shut Up and Jam -- the pixelated graphics, the tinny sound, and, of course, Charles Barkley -- and puts it in a post-apocalyptic RPG world where basketball has been outlawed. This might require some adjustment for those expecting a straight-up, NBA Jam-style basketball game, but cameos from fan favorites Michael Jordan and Larry Bird will satisfy those nostalgic whims.
Download the demo from the Gaming World forums or watch the gripping trailer after the jump.

Shaq needs to be a bad street melee brawler and Michael Jordan needs to have a variety of magical b-balls.
LOL @ the music

If Dick Bavetta doesn't show up in the game, I refuse to acknolwedge its existence.

This should be on Wii Virtual Console. I would pay $10 for this game.

I know RPG creator makes these kinds of games simpler than they would be otherwise, but the fact that someone's willing to take this joke all the way through development is terrific to me.
