Before I Get Started...

Ok, so I was able to acquire a copy of Snatcher for the Sega CD. I'm quite excited about playing my first non-mg Kojima game.

A few quick questions:

I'll be playing the game with Kega. Anyone had any experience with this? I've been using emulators for many years, but I haven't used SegaCD yet. I've got the BIOS and everything.

I wasn't able to procure a manual, so is there anything I should know before beginning this game?

You can find the American version's manual here, although you're not missing much (the UK version's manual was more detailed IIRC).

Wow, where'd you find it? I have the darndest time finding it... ebay auctions nearing $100 are most of what I come up with. Way more than I can spend on a game :)

I have no experience with KEGA, but I can tell you that GENS plays Snatcher almost flawlessly (there are one or two audio issues during certain parts of the game, but nothing much).

Yeah, I picked up Gens and it's running beautifully. I love it so far (I'm not that far).

A friend is letting me borrow his non-manual copy that he found many years ago in a Record Exchange. Talk about luck!

:shock:
I always thought the UK manual was a bit rubbish. Didn't the USA manual come with a long b/w comic book in the begginning detailing the story more? Im sure it did.

bah! Us europeans always get the bad end of the stick. :x

U must b thinking of comic that was also featured on the Snatcher trading cards, it was included and translated in the American manual as far as i know, but nothing that special

Yah, donwloaded the manual.
US manual comes with a short comic, which is quite good.

The UK manual does NOT have this sadly, but it does have schematics of the vehicles and stuff.
Its also has a darker mood to it, with background art in the booklet.

I dunno, schematics or comic book, which would have you prefered with your SCD copy of Snatcher?

Though as a funny side story, I bought my copy of Snatcher mint for only £2 off some lady who was selling her sons collection of games while he was in college. :lol:
She put an ad in the paper, with many good games up for sale. I snagged 5 (total of £10), but didnt have the money for the £30 wondermega she was selling. :(

Ahh well, thats the story of how I got into Snatcher.

I didn't think the comic was anything special though I downloaded scans of it.
