"Hong Kong '97" is an unlicensed shoot 'em up video-game developed and published by HappySoft, a doujin game developer, for the Super Famicom. This one is considered to be the worst game ever made in the history of gaming due to its bizzare story, use of graphic images & profanity. It was released in Japan in 1995, being sold as floppy disks. Designed by the Japanese game journalist Kowloon Kurosawa, who said the game was a satire of the video game industry, Hong Kong 97 was made in seven days with the help of his friend. The game takes place in China in 1997, during the handover of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom. Facing an increased crime rate due to immigration from Mainland China, the Hong Kong government hires Chin, a super-powerful relative of Bruce Lee, to kill the entire population of China. At the same time, the deceased Tong Shau Ping is resurrected by a secret project conducted by the Chinese government as an "ultimate weapon". After defeating Tong Shau Ping, the game is repeated indefinitely until Chin dies. Hong Kong 97 sold around 30 copies due to its underground bootleg release, and it has since gained a cult following for its notoriously poor quality. In retrospect, it is considered by critics and journalists to be among the worst games ever made. As for the gameplay, the player controls Chin, who must shoot and evade the Chinese populace moving downwards from the top of the screen. When shot, the enemies explode in mushroom clouds, leaving behind a flashing corpse and items for instant death (rotating green disks) or temporary invincibility (syringe with heroin). The player has no health points: if Chin is hit by anything other than the syringe, the game is immediately over, unless he is under invincibility. The game over screen contains the superimposed words "Chin IS DEAD!!", over a still graphic image of a corpse dated to 1992. The game then goes to the credits (listing the Embassy of Canada as a cooperation partner) and back to the title screen. Upon turning on the game, the first three measures of the chorus of an upbeat rock-style rendition of "I Love Beijing Tiananmen" can be heard, which loops indefinitely throughout the game. The game has no other music or sound effects. The game can be played in English, Japanese or traditional Chinese. Want more content like this?
