Question about a song in Policenauts (from another game?)

Post by The Hero »

There's this song in Policenauts, I think it's played whenever you're at Karen's house. Anyway, the second I heard it, I thought it sounded so familiar, like I've heard it in another game.

Does anyone else recognise it, or am I just going crazy? :P

I don't recall it from any other game. I think all the music was specifically created for Policenauts, apart from the obvious remix of "One Night In Neo Kobe City.

I was referring to "Innocent White", mate.

Whoops, sorry.

Also, don't know if you guys know this or not, but if you listen to Jonathan's answer messages on his phone, you can hear a Snatcher tune playing in the background on one of them. Cannot remember the name of the song or what is being said by the person. I think Policenauts makes references to practically every game that Kojima has made before it (even "Penguin Adventure"; the first game that Kojima got credited on).

It's the background music from Outer Heaven's club in Snatcher.
