Hong Kong 97 (HK97 (香港97, Honkon97?)) is a game made in Japan in 1995 for the Super Famicom in disk drive and cartridge format by HappySoft Ltd., a homebrew game company. The game has gained a cult following in Japan and Taiwan for its notoriously poor quality — it has been ranked as a kuso-ge, literally means "shitty game", a game considered "so bad that it's good". It has since received a cult following online and given multiple parody treatments, particularly in Taiwan. The game also achieved Number One "Wacky Japanese Game of All Time" in the XLEAGUE.TV video game TV show Wez and Larry's Top Tens. （http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_97_(video_game)）
The game never ends until you die, so I choosed to die after I defeated Deng Xiaoping.

"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate

I thought this game had a fixed timeline, things spawn at specific times, just like an autoscroller. How can you TAS something like this?

... No vote for not even looking like a TAS. You take unnecessary damage, shoot way more bullets than hit, and don't kill everyone. If you're going to try to TAS a really bad game, you have to at least make it a good TAS for us to overlook the possibility of the game being a bad choice.
All the best, Brandon Evans

I laughed, but I agree with Brandon. This is basically an April Fool's Day-level submission. Voting no.

Not even. April Fool's Day submissions are usually very well made with terrible game choices or stupid goals. This game could make for a great April Fool's Day submission, but this run is not. Please, just for practice's sake, you should redo this run with more attention to quality and using more re-records, mlw7. I don't mean to be so harsh, but I believe you can do better.
All the best, Brandon Evans

pretty much maybe finding a better, less sloppy-looking ending spot would help as well And I must say how much I love the explosions. This is awesome.

Thank you for encoding the run, antd! It's easy to tell this is a homebrew game. The sprites and backgrounds appear to be taken from photographs and put on the SNES as crisp, clear images. The music is also someone singing for the whole game (that's a lot of samples!). That said, I support Brandon's idea of re-making the run with higher entertainment value. The result could be surprising. The run in its current form, though, is not of high enough quality to be accepted. No vote.

Was worth quite a laugh, but I agree that perhaps another run could be more interesting.

mlw7, if you want to be taken seriously, you need to choose better games. This game is an abomination. Creepypasta simulators are not much better. You also need to put in more effort to make a TAS look good, and choosing a garbage game just for the sake of it is not a good way to go.

I kind of find it poetic that such a shitty game get such a shitty TAS. Yes to publish this piece of shit propaganda as an EXAMPLE of what not to pick and how not to TAS. Actually, believe it or not I was entertained.
