Yeah, but you can get the database from the Private Collection disc (which is even better due to the addition of graphics, instead of being plain text), so that even things out. However, you will be missing one of the funnier scenes in Act 3.Jonathan Ingram wrote:And the graphics are better on the PSX, but the light gun support isn't there, and the info database (but unless you read Japanese, that shouldn't make much difference).

You mean the scene when Karen gets Jonathan's gun?? I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't there (and it was in the PC version from what I've heard). I liked the dream sequence though. That would be missed. Anyway, I did hear that the graphics were improved a bit for the Saturn version. I wouldnt mind so much if Kojima had just quit there, but he had the perfect oppurtunity to improve upon the PSX version when Konami added Policenauts into their Books collection about a year ago. That would've been nice. Then the PSX version would be the best, most complete version there was. And I wouldn't have to have purchased an import Saturn all for one game.Johnny Undaunted wrote:However, you will be missing one of the funnier scenes in Act 3.

It takes alot more effort to update a previously-released game than to simply just repackage the same software and sell it for a cheaper price. You just don't copy and paste code from one platform to another (especially considering all the extra stuff they added to the Saturn rev forced the developers to add a third disc to fit in everything).ReasonWhyNot wrote: I wouldnt mind so much if Kojima had just quit there, but he had the perfect oppurtunity to improve upon the PSX version when Konami added Policenauts into their Books collection about a year ago.
Anyway, good luck trying to run the PC98 version of Policenauts on your PC. I gave trying to find a decent emulator months ago and none of the emulation sites I've been has been helpful at all. Anyway, the PC98 version has the most recorded dialogue of all versions, since it's a "rough cut" (so to speak) of the game. If a later version had a "new scene" not in the previous one, it was most likely something they restored from the PC98 version.

Hey Johnny, you ever had any luck dumping the boot floppy?

hmm, yeah, it's hard to find info on the pc-98 emulators as they are pretty much all Japanese, and interest in the pc-98 outside of japan is minimal.
anyway, instead of worrying about saturn emulators and such, just pick up an old saturn for cheap and grab an action replay cart for import play. and yeah, the saturn version is the best i hear.
in any case, there are many other reasons to pick up a saturn if you missed out on one back in the day.
