Hiya, was just reading the SEGA-CD under-dogs.org write-up of snatcher. There's one thing they say "Be warned, though: the game contains some explicit scenes of violence and sex that some may find offensive. Two thumbs up, way up."
Don't remember any explicit violence or any sex... did I miss something?

Well, it was pretty shocking for the time. Resident Evil didn't come out until 1996, and even that wasn't as gruesome as the violent scenes in Snatcher. It wasn't really until 1998 when anything could compete with it for shock value.
