Imagine seeing the word ‘fuck’ on your kid-friendly Super Nintendo.

Oh, I’m sorry, “fuckin’ ugly reds.” I know it’s a bootleg that wasn’t even released, but imagine if you actually grew up with this game as a kid. As we can tell from the text and the extremely crusty image, Hong Kong is being invaded by communists from Mainland China. So the game takes place two years in the future of 1997. Let’s just press start and get this over with.

In this work of art, we see Jackie Chan and Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping against a black background, along with what I think is the game’s title and the company’s name, HappySoft. Super Metroid? Mega Man 2? Fuck you, HONG KONG 97. Easily the most breathtaking title screen I have ever seen. In the video above, you can see the title screen. …yeah, not exactly the Tim Follin level of god-tier composition you were expecting, huh? Apparently, this is a snippet of a song titled ‘I Love Beijing Tiananmen.’ I haven’t listened to the entire song, but I honestly don’t think I want to. Extended to 10 hours for your listening pleasure.
