Hong Kong 97ball

Hong Kong 97ball is a gameball created to protest Nintendo's copyright laws.

Plot
Hong Kong 97 begins with a short cut scene which places the game around the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997. People from Mainland China started immigrating to Hong Kong and greatly increased the crime rate. As a countermeasure, the Hong Kong government hires Chin, an unspecified relative of Bruce Lee, to "wipe out" all 1.2 billion of the "red communists" in China. Meanwhile, a secret project in Mainland China has succeeded in bringing the deceased Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping (spelled Tong Shau Ping in the game) back to life as the "ultimate weapon".

The game uses a picture of Jackie Chan from the movie poster of Wheels on Meals to depict Chin. The back of the insert of the game notes that Chin is a heroin addict.[4] When Hong Kong 97 was released in 1995, Deng Xiaoping, said to be dead in the game, was actually still alive. However, he died on 19 February 1997, a few months before the handover of Hong Kong, the game's backdrop.[5]
