Heh, don't worry, I was just kidding... mostly... Actually, those kind of artistic things often matter more to me than plot points. But I also don't really care about spoilers since the journey is more important than the destination to me anyway. If we wanted to get technical, though, I guess how much of a spoiler that was comes down to whether there's a corresponding scene in the console versions or not, because like you say most of us will never get the chance to play the PC98 version. But careful! You can't answer that question now!
EDIT: And yeah, just pulled out the Black Disc, and that is a very good mix. I do hear the differences. But I'm gonna go on record saying I like the original version even more. I like the "pluckier" strumming sounds.

Are you insane?! The 32-bit versions have that horrible cover where Jamie takes up most of the space, which wouldn't be a problem, but she looks like a guy in drag, for god's sake! My vote goes to the beautiful-looking PCE cover. Come to think of it, ALL of the Snatcher covers besides the PCE one are rather mediocre, in my opinion. Unless you count SD Snatcher- I want those dolls!!!!Henry Spencer wrote:[The Saturn version of Snatcher has] perhaps the best front cover for the series as well!

Heh, yeah Jaime looks fugly on it, but still, the rest of the artwork is good I think.
Oh yeah, the PC Engine has the best cover! I just forgot about that one for some reason (how silly of me). I still think the Saturn version is a great cover which includes a lot of characters on it, I like the artwork as well as I mentioned before.

Today I've been playing the PC98 version of Policenauts until I left the AMM in act 2.
And I thought, since the PC98 version is the least known version among western fans, I'd do a few screenshots while playing. And that's what I did, 307 screenshots, all from the PC98 version, covering the game from the beginning to somewhere in the first half of act 2.

There might be some spoilers, nothing major, but still, if you haven't played the game yet I recommend you stop watching after Jonathan and Ed reunite.
Oh, and you should unzip the files to make sure they're in the correct order.

I'm glad you guys liked it. I've continued playing a little bit, yesterday, I'm almost at the end of act 2 now. Expect the next package when I'm done with act 4. (Which shouldn't take too long, since act 3 is rather short, compared to act 2 and act 4 is ridiculously short.)

I've been playing until I reached act 6 and here are 279 new screenshots.

I shouldn't need to say this, but just in case...MAJOR SPOILER!!
You should only watch this if you've finished one of the console versions.

Now, how to extract it.... Hmm. Y'know, if you're the type to take souls, you could just eat the babies.Charlie Johnson wrote:I want your soul. Nothing more, just your soul.
The animation, I would bet, was in-house, a bunch of pixle-pushers in the visuals department working with proofs that Tomiharu Kinoshita would've ok'd past Kojima first (maybe). Even closer to the source~
Edit: Upon further inspection, this stuff is amazing. Just... amazing. Thanks for sharing all this with us, man.

Yes.snatcher1988 wrote: 1) In the PC98 version, are you given unlimited continues like in the home console versions of Snatcher?
I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't do that, except that you might want to wait for the translation patch and start with the PSX version.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?
But well...I didn't do it that way either.

No need to thank me, I just want your girlfriend. You can send her via UPS. Thanks in advance!
Re: PC98 Policenauts w/ pics (spoilers)
Wow, thanks a lot. (Had to.) After going through the PSX version, it was neat to see all the little differences.Charlie Johnson wrote:

Charlie, can I use these pictures as comparison shots to the PSX version on the SA forums?

Re: PC98 Policenauts w/ pics (spoilers)
Yes, of course.
Edit: Oh, and while we're at it, I have one question about a possible bug in the PS1 version.

I'm pretty sure - since I had to edit one of those graphics - they got it right, but I can double-check since I've got savegames pretty much everywhere. (I think I have 28 copies of memory card files all throughout the game.)Charlie Johnson wrote: Edit: Oh, and while we're at it, I have one question about a possible bug in the PS1 version.
If it is mixed up like you say it is, I can fix that pretty easily though.
