Playing MSX version of Snatcher, how do I shoot?

Post by RyuHayabusa »

Ok, so I'm playing through the MSX version of Snatcher for the first time using BlueMSX. I'm up to the insector attack part of the Old Factory after find Gibson dead. Unfortunately I cannot shoot the insectors and get wasted rather quickly. I've tried every key on the keyboard and nothing works. S, space bar, shift, everything and I can't get it to work. Any suggestions? I looked on here for an answer but couldn't one.

Turn the NumLock off, hold down Shift, and use the number pad.
The same goes for the PC-88 version.

Haha, guess what? I have no Num Lock on my keyboard. I've got a Dell and I'm using the one that came with it. Guess I'm going to have to dig out one of older ones and see if it works.

Oh... Well, that's a bit of a predicament, then.
I hope everything works out for you.

Get a new keyboard, man. At least one with a Num Lock on it.

...or just use save state and mash your regular numbers instead of Numpad until you beat it. Worked fine for me.

Got a USB keyboard with Num Lock and it worked. Enjoying the MSX version so far. Lots of little things not in the Sega CD version, like crashing the MSX, having to hit the Home key to get into Gibson's computer, and of course all the inappropriate stuff with Catherine, lol.

My favorite is the take command.

Code: Select all

<<TAKE>><<CEILING>>
Metal: It will crush you flat.
