Hong Kong 97 is a bootleg Super Famicom "game" released in 1995. Designed by journalist Yoshihisa Kurosawa and developed by an anonymous Enix employee, this aggressively anti-communist and anti-Chinese shock project was made over the course of two days.

The game starts with a language select screen and a low bitrate 5 second clip of I Love Beijing Tiananmen that endlessly loops until you turn the game off. After language select, Mr. Business offers to sell your own original games and you get to keep a third of the profits. How generous! And then a message to dealers about stocking their game. Which yeah. The one thing this game doesn't lack in is audacity.

Above are the cutscenes that play every time before the game begins. I blurred the third image as it contains a pile of corpses that I'm assuming are real.

There's not much game to talk about; you move around and shoot PLA. You die on contact damage, if you're shot, or, if you somehow live long enough, chomped on by the disembodied head of Deng Xiaoping. Oh and when you die, you get hit with a digitized photo of an actual corpse. So yeah, either try not to lose, or, better yet, don't play the game at all and just look at the images I posted so you can think to yourself "what a terrible game I'm not playing"

This is the SCMP interview with Yoshihisa Kurosawa that I pulled most of the background from if you're interested for more info.

Note: Deng Xiaoping was still alive in 1995 when this game was made, but he did end up dying in 1997. He was 90 in 1995 so that's not like a really out-of-nowhere prediction but still a little weird.

If you're going for a printer for infantry usually the better bet is resin printing instead of FDM ones like the bambu, it gets better detail by far, like straight up just can't see the print lines unless you look incredible close. Usually people recommend Elegoo printers, especially since the last gen versions (Elegoo 4 currently) are basically on a permanent sale and the level of quality between a 4 and 5 is pretty close. FDM printers are however way better for vehicle printing, it's both faster and cheaper, as well as simply easier.

(Obviously though if you just want minis on the table and don't mind some muddiness to the detail FDM printers are perfectly fine, I'm just a bit neurotic about detail as someone who's first and foremost a painter lol)

Yeah, they originally thought about getting a resin printer, but decided against it due to pricing and the fume issue that they could not have really resolved in their tiny appartment.
