Status: Lost

Taiwan 2001 (台灣2001), abbreviated as TW2001 is a game created by 'Kuso Soft' (kuso being Japanese for crap) in Taiwan created as a spoof of the 1995 homebrew shooter game Hong Kong 97 for the Super Famicom, in which the latter game has received a cult following in Japan and Taiwan because of the game's difficulty, its Anti-Chinese messages, and the fact that the game is one of the worst video games ever created.[1] The name of the company 'Kuso Soft' is most likely a made-up company as a parody to HappySoft, the company who distributed Hong Kong 97.

The gameplay of Taiwan 2001 is very similar to Hong Kong 97 although it's said to be worse.[2]

Story

The game can be played in three languages: Cantonese, Hua, and Mandarin. After the title screen, the intro follows, which is similar to the storyline in Hong Kong 97:

"The year 2001 has arrived. A herd of fuckin’ uglies. are rushing from the mainland. Crime rates skyrocketed! Therefore, the Taiwan Government called Wang Shou En’s relative Wang Shou Min for the education plan of the mainlanders. Min is an etiquette expert. Reform all 1.2 billion people!
"However, in mainland China there was a secret project in progress! A project to transform the captured Wang Shou En into an ultimate weapon!"

Gameplay

Little is known about the game's actual gameplay, other than its similar to the gameplay of Hong Kong 97 and you play as Min. The game over screen says "小明死亡 MinisDEAD".

The only evidence of the game's existence are mentions and reviews of the game on Six Samana and personal blogs, as well as the screenshot of the title screen. However, downloads for this game have not been found.
