Which was the better opening theme?

I voted for Old L.A. 2040 (PC9821 version).
Spoiler:
The new opening theme, End of the Dark, was better suited for the ending scenes, where it originated from

So it was Tomiharu Kinoshita who designed the original artwork for the PC98 version, huh? If so, I think it's his best work in the art department ever.

PC88 version = Best soundtrack ever.

And I'm kinda familiar with Vision Ameba. It's the Japanese version of youtube, but without all the copyright BS that has plagued youtube over the past year or so.

As much as I like the series that he's mostly known for, I voted for Snatcher. Its story, its characters, its backgrounds, its plot twists, and its soundtrack (especially in the PC88, MSX, and PC Engine versions), are more than enough to keep me coming back for more. I hope to get Policenauts one da...

No, it is indeed better now.

And I see that you're using the look of the Snatchers from the Japanese versions of the game (the ones where they had red eyes like the robots in the Terminator movies). They looked more threatening with red eyes than they did with green eyes.

Two questions I have:

1) In the PC98 version, are you given unlimited continues like in the home console versions of Snatcher?

2) Is it all right if I try out the PC98 version first, then try out the home console versions afterwards, so that I can decide for myself which version is the best?

Well, it wasn't Yoji Shinkawa that's for sure. He was only a debugger on the original version.

I don't know how to answer your question, but I recommend using M88 as the PC88 emulator of choice. I tried the game with the PC88WIN emulator, and it's just not worth it. Why? Because in the part where you have to narrow down the search to find "Queen's Hospital", the emulator won't let y...

To be honest, my opinion on my favourite ending changes all of the time. I just liked the MSX versions dark ending a hell of a lot, in comparison to the cornball ending of the PC Engine and Sega CD. I wasn't really including Act 3 into that statement; just the epilogue with Gillian saying his goodb...

Man, those pictures are great. As I mentioned already, the artwork for the PC98 version is, in my opinion, the best one of the bunch. Also, the image resolution is much bigger than on the home console versions.

BTW, will more screen captures from this version be added in the future, or is that it?

The biggest difference is the ending. It's far more abrupt and darker. Reason for that is because of lack of space for the hardware for Kojima to complete the game. The PC Engine and Sega CD versions (as well as the PSX and Saturn versions) were the "finished" versions of the game, althou...

Kabushiki Baibai Trainer Kabutore! Next

http://www.konami.jp/kabutore/

Not sure if this has been discussed on these boards before, but a sequel to Kojima's Japan-only DS game, Kabushiki Baibai Trainer Kabutore!, will be released soon. Also, I have no idea if this is a brand new game, or simply an expansion of the original game.

I agree with 87th. I'd much rather see a new translation of SD Snatcher, as well.

P.S. Charlie, your signature kicks ass! Love, love, love the graphics in the PC98 version of Policenauts.

Don't ask me why, but I always preferred the original ending theme over the one on the home console versions. Not that the new ending theme is bad, of course. Same thing goes for the original opening theme, as well.

Which ending theme did they use? The original 2-part ending theme (Master of Puppets Among The Disease/We Have to Struggle for Our Future Against Our Doubt), or the newer one (Tear Stained Eyes)?

I doubt they would have made SD Snatcher, and Act 3 would probably be close to what the final part in SD Snatcher was. You're probably right on that one, because correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't SD Snatcher more of an excuse to make money off of the Snatcher name, by making a spin-off out of it,...

What if the original Snatcher had been delayed

Suppose Hideo Kojima delayed the original PC88 and MSX versions of Snatcher to include the 3rd and final act. What do you would have happened? Would Act 3 have been identical to the one on the home console versions? Would we even have the home console versions of Snatcher? Would new Snatcher songs h...
