User blog:ArcOfRuin/Disturbing SNES game!

A day ago or so, I was going down the Internet rabbit hole and found a few articles about what might be the most disturbing videogame ever. This is not a type of Creepypasta, the game existed at one time (no physical copies have been found except for one which is rumored to be fake), but the creator confirmed its existence. Some of you creepy game buffs here might have heard of it. It’s called Hongkong 97. The cover has a digitized picture of Jackie Chan kicking (ripped from one of his movies, I believe) in front of a crowd, with a digitized Deng Xiaoping’s Head near the top. The game itself is wacky. It was poorly programmed, with a lackluster plot. The plot is that in 1997, a “herd of fuckin’ ugly reds” had invaded from the mainland, and Chin (Jackie Chan), Bruce Lee’s relative, has to wipe out all 1.2 billion Communists and stop them from turning Tong Shau Ping (Deng Xiaoping) into an ultimate weapon.

The game itself is funny, not scary, but the real disturbing bit is the “game over” screen. The screen displays a digitized dead body, along with the caption “Chin’s Dead!” The picture also has a time stamp, making it seem like a legitimate photo. The body in the photo has not been identified to my knowledge, so it’s possible that the picture’s fake, but in a game ripping off most of the assets (the background is a Coca Cola ad), I doubt they’d go through the trouble of faking the picture. The ROM is free online, for those interested.

Also, I feel like I should say yesterday was my birthday. I watched horror movies and ate too much instant ramen :)
