Well, I said I'd update this, and I did! www.hardcoregaming101.net/snatcher/snatcher.htmNew stuff includes: -More text in general detailing why the game is so rad -Character bios -TONS more detail of the differences between the different versions, particularly the computer versions -More screenshots, better screenshot comparison layouts -A redone SD Snatcher review, because the old one was astonishgly brief The only part I still gotta update is the end. Also, wasn't there some kind of Snatcher radio drama that was in English, even though it was only release in Japan? I can't seem to find it again. Also I need to upload the MP3s, but I need to rip music from the PSOne version. I seem to have misplaced my CD when I was cleaning my room, so I'm grabbing it from SNESorama now.

I can't help but wonder if the Rise of the Dragon developers were inspired by Snatcher. The two look very similar.

"Snatcher Radio Play" is just a fanmade name to the soundtrack album of the original PC88 Snatcher, which used some (poorly done) English voice acting to transition between tracks. vgmdb.net/album/217There was the "Snatcher Sound Clip", a mini-drama album that was given away as a pre-release bonus with the PC Engine version. vgmdb.net/album/5987I don't think "Project S" actually exists. Suda 51 denied any involvement in the project and from the looks of it, its probably based on a misinterpretation of the original news.

Both MSX2 games are fan-translated to English. In both games the translations aren't all that great, but they do their job.

The PC-88 version of Snatcher is better anyway. The graphic window is wider, the loading times are not as long and there are developers' profiles in Gaudy was kept.

Also the PC-88 version has what I consider the best Snatcher soundtrack of all time.
BTW, Kurt said that the 3rd act takes place in Siberia. Actually, no it doesn't. It takes place in Neo Kobe City.
During the beginning of that act, they try to pin-point the location of the Snatcher's hideout, by determining where in Neo Kobe City parallels with the location of the Kremlin in Moscow. The same trick was also used in SD Snatcher.
BTW, did anyone notice that SYD Garden in SD Snatcher is supposed to be a pun on the words "Super", "Deformed" and "DisneY"?

Yeah, I didn't get to saying that, it's Neo Kobe, at the Snatcher's Kremlin. Although, at the end, Gillian goes off to Siberia.

Yeah, you're right, for some reason I keep confusing that. That church just looks Russian, you know? I think the Sega CD version has the best rendition of many of the songs, but the PC88 version has a bunch of songs that aren't in any other version...except the MSX one, and I don't like the SCC as much.

All versions of Snatcher had exclusive music cues. For example. "Midnight Science", the song that plays when you're investigating the abandoned factory in the MSX version, is one of them. And as strange as this may sound, I actually prefer the music in the PC Engine version over the Sega CD one. I don't know. Maybe it's because it had as many of the original cues from the PC-88 version as possible, something that the other home console versions did not. Spoilers: At least 7 of the original music cues were omitted in the PC Engine version: "Slave to Metal" (Team Metalslave introductory cue), "Twilight of Neo Kobe City" (original opening theme), "Evil Ripple" (Original act introductory cue, though oddly enough, it appears in the pilot disc), "Lament For the Dead" (original game over cue), "For Harry" (the original song that played during Harry's death scene), and both parts of the original ending theme. The original soundtrack for Snatcher, when it was first released in 1988, had an incredible 37 or so songs composed (a record that not even the original Final Fantasy's 21 songs could break). Just to give you an idea of how truly incredible the game's soundtrack was when it first came out, here's both parts of the original ending theme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tuK6fTH_-Ywww.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5msQbiIujA&feature=related
