I'd easily pay $20 US for that game. I'd like to buy it sometime, and I expect it to be around $30. Gotta go learn Japanese first though. Walkthroughs are all well and fine but it's just not the same if I can't have the details. That's what always made me like the Kojima games.

Well, the PS version of Policenauts is the most common version of the game anyway (especially when you consider the two reissues), followed by the Saturn version. The 3DO version takes abit more effort to find, but can be had for a good price if you look hard. The original PC98 version is the most sought-after out of all versions (although, not as much as the MSX Metal Gear games).

Anyway, you owed it to yourself to get Private Collection too. It's a companion disc to the PS Policenauts (much like Document of MGS2), with behind-the-scenes info on the game and such. It's a bit harder to find than the game, but it's worth it.

How much did it cost you? Mine was only $20-25 IIRC.

Quick question about the 3DO version; Would I need a Japanese 3DO to play it on or would it work on a US model? Ever since I first heard of a 3DO version of Policenauts I wondered if it'd play on US systems.

All 3DO games are region free. So yes, it will work flawlessly on a US 3DO. I have tried mine in an FZ-1 model.

Damn I could only find Policenauts for 40 something $.
So I haven't picked it up yet.
Although Policenauts is a legendary game,I'm still trying to stock up on Suda51 games.

Keep checking ebay. Eventually you'll find one that goes for much cheaper than $40. I get my PSX version off ebay for $16 or so.
