Hong Kong 97 is a 1995 unlicensed shoot-'em-up for the Super Famicom, developed in Japan and notorious for its crude graphics, strange story, and low production values. The game became famous online years after release as an example of a bizarre bootleg title, and clips of its gameplay spread through gaming forums, videos, and meme pages. Its short chiptune theme is now recognised by retro gaming fans as a shorthand for that infamy, used to signal a cursed, obscure, or hilariously bad game without needing any explanation.
