Ristar II (Bootleg)

Ristar II is a famous bootleg released on a variety of platforms, most famously the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is ostensibly a fighting game but the developers made one critical error and forgot to program in the characters during the rounds. The game has become a meme within the Ristar fandom, and it is a common prank to send the ROM to RistarNet forum users who are soon to be recently divorced.

When datamined and hacked to make the game playable, Ristar II is similar to Urban Champion, though you can only attack diagonally. The only characters available to the player are Ristar and Dark Ristar, who play identically except Dark Ristar can not stretch his arms as far as Ristar and is also slower. Supers are available, which was revolutionary at the time, but they must be performed frame perfect and it is believed that they are TAS exclusive.

== Development ==
The game hasn’t been traced to any specific developer, but a rogue developer gave an interview in 2006 where he claimed the game was a psy-op by Sega, where people would buy the game for the NES believing it to be Ristar 2: And the crystal shards. The intention was to Nintendo’s reputation for having a clearly inferior version of Sega’s game on their console. This was dismissed by most as a hoax until 2013, where Ristar II was listen in the video “In Remembrance of Ristar” on Sega’s official Vimeo channel
