Terrifying 9.11 (Chinese: 驚爆9.11; Pinyin: Jīng Bào 9.11) is a Game Boy Color game released some time after the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It was developed by Ruanxin, a company that housed people that also worked for Waixing, and was originally released by Hitek in Chinese and English, with the former confirmed to be released in Taiwan. It would additionally receive a title hack released in mainland China by Li Cheng under the name of 特種部隊2 基地 (Pinyin: Tèzhǒng Bùduì 2 Jīdì). The game is an unauthorized port of Metal Slug 1.

The game is infamous for not only its already distasteful premise, but its inclusion of an opening intro showing actual video footage of the September 11th attacks.

Overview[]

This is a decent port of Metal Slug 1 for the Neo Geo. A is used to jump and B is used to shoot. The graphics are also good, even with the limitations of the Game Boy Color in mind. The bosses are also present in this version, but are easier. The order of missions 4 and 5 is inverted. When a level is beaten, an exchange between George W. Bush and Osama Bin Laden takes place.

Trivia[]

• Currently, only the English and Li Cheng versions of this game are dumped, the former only available as a raw dump.
  • The English version of the game uses Hitek's proprietary copy protection mapper, which is only currently supported in the hhugboy emulator and on mGBA's Game Boy emulation core if Hitek's mapper is manually specified.
  • The raw dump of the Li Cheng version is copy protected and only works on hhugboy. The fixed version, however, can run in all emulators that support the Game Boy (Color).
  • As of now, the Chinese (驚爆911) version of the game remains undumped. Another Chinese release exists with a different name that also remains undumped.
• There is an unused Metal Slug logo in the game's code, seemingly intended for the title screen; suggesting it was planned to release as Metal Slug originally.[1]
• In the graphics data of the ROM, there are unused graphics for an English and Chinese language selection menu.
• The Chinese title from the Taiwanese Hitek release of the game appears to be lifted from the localized title of the 2002 film Air Panic.
• The song used during the infamous intro is "Shir LaShalom" ("שיר לשלום" or "A Song for Peace"), which is an anthem for the Israeli peace movement.
