JESUS: Tale of the Dreadful Biomonster - Major Influence!?
Posted: Sun Apr 13, 2014 9:42 pm
I've never played this game but I recently stumbled across a review of this game on youtube. I think JESUS might have been a major influence on Snatcher after skimmingthrough some of a playthrough.
JESUS came out for the PC-88 in April 1987. That's a year and half before Snatcher's release on the PC-88 on November 26, 1988.
JESUS is a sci fi mystery adventure heavily influenced by Ridley Scott's ALIEN film. Snatcher is a Sci Fi Mystery Adventure game that is heavily influenced by Ridley Scott's Blade Runner film.
A small robot sidekick that helps you solve mysteries in both games!

Was JESUS a Giant influence on Snatcher or were all Japanese adventure games kinda like this at the time?
Thoughts?
