超任卡帶的都市傳說:《奇哥足球》

2024-10-25

超任遊戲《奇哥足球》( Zico's Soccer)是以足球為主題的運動遊戲,並以前巴西國家隊選手奇哥冠名。因為操作不佳的問題造成銷售量不佳。然而,部分日本玩家卻驚人發現裡面有成人內容,後來證實他們玩到的是經過修改的版本,這種修改版被稱為「Hack ROM」或「盜版ROM」。

在超任時代,玩家和黑客們經常對熱門遊戲進行修改,這些行為可能涉及遊戲圖像、文字內容甚至整體玩法。有些黑客會在遊戲中加入不雅的對話、圖片或場景,並將這些改編後的軟體重新發布,常常被誤認為是原版遊戲。這些改編版本通常會通過盜版市場或網絡流傳,使得玩家在不知情的情況下下載或購買這些含有成人內容的版本。

由於當時的遊戲卡帶和ROM並沒有像現代遊戲那樣嚴格的數字保護措施,修改遊戲內容相對容易。因此,像《奇哥足球》這樣的不受歡迎的運動遊戲成為西武企畫創作的目標,他們先在市場上大量蒐集廉價的卡帶.在不破壞原本軟體的情況下,加安裝自己本身開發的程式,然後進行轉售。因此導致部分玩家誤以為自己玩的是足球遊戲,卻發現裡面充斥著不符合原本內容的成人元素。這些修改版並非官方作品,而是非法修改後再流傳的,目前二手價格相當高。

The Super Nintendo game Zico's Soccer is a sports game themed around soccer and named after the former Brazilian national team player Zico. Despite its branding, poor controls led to low sales. However, some Japanese players astonishingly discovered adult content within the game, later confirmed to be in a modified version. This altered version is known as a "Hack ROM" or "Pirated ROM."

During the Super Nintendo era, players and hackers frequently modified popular games, altering graphics, text, and gameplay. Some hackers added inappropriate dialogue, images, or scenes and redistributed these modified versions, often causing confusion as players mistakenly assumed they were playing the official version. These modified versions circulated through the pirated market or online, sometimes leading unsuspecting players to download or purchase adult-content versions unknowingly.

Since game cartridges and ROMs back then lacked the stringent digital protection found in modern games, modifying content was relatively easy. As a result, Zico's Soccer, an unpopular sports game, became a target for creators like Seibu Planning. They would collect inexpensive cartridges from the market, install their own program without removing the original software, and then resell the modified cartridges. This led some players to think they were playing a straightforward soccer game, only to find adult elements incongruously inserted. These altered versions were never official releases; they were illegally modified copies, which now sell for a high price on the secondhand market.
