Re: So, 30 years huh...

Jumping off from the prior post, it got me curious how the Japanese version of the Sega/Mega CD Snatcher handled spelling "Jamie" when it hit me... They never did release the Sega CD Snatcher in Japan, did they? I always just kind of assumed they did, but I have never once seen any evidenc...

Re: So, 30 years huh...

I'm pretty sure "Jaime" is a misspelling. Her name in Japanese going back to the original is apparently ジェミ- which Google translates as "Jamie" (literally " Jemi - "). Funny thing is according to junkerHQ.net the instruction manuals for both the PC88 and MSX Snatchers h...

Re: Emulation questions/issues catch-all thread

To make up for posting so much, I thought I'd offer another TIP! Most folks who use blueMSX seem aware that you can adjust the emulator's CPU speed, which comes in handy to zoom through some of the slower parts of the game (at the cost of the music tempo being altered and some text disappearing befo...

Re: PC88 PC-8801 KONAMI KONAMI SNATCHER COMPLETE MML COLLECTION for MUCOM88

That's gotta be one of the most esoteric videogame-related publications I've ever seen. :lol: Even the synopsis takes for granted that the reader would know what an MML and an SSG, an OPN, and an MUC (not to mention a MUC+α) all are, but it does go out of its way to explain what Snatcher is and who ...

Re: Emulation questions/issues catch-all thread

I'll start off with a question of my own: Retroarch - blueMSX core Windows MSX I've got this one running seemingly perfectly right up until the end of the intros (I believe) and when the game asks the user to "Insert disk 2 and push space key." So I insert disk 2 (using the retroarch disk...

Re: MSX Snatcher Images

I love how it looks but man it needs an updated translation. Honestly I find the obviously non-professional ESL translation to be oddly endearing when combined with the 8-bit presentation and the knowledge that it's on an exclusive Japanese computer. That's easier to say since we already have an of...

Re: MSX Snatcher Images

Glad I could do some good! :) I think with social media covering more immediate conversations, web forums have kind of naturally morphed into more of a "ship in a bottle" role, more dedicated to posterity. So bumping a ten-year-old thread (that still serves its original function) doesn't s...

Re: MSX Snatcher Images

I'm committing blatant ancient thread necromancy here, but I wanted to bump this because it's such an excellent and near-complete gallery of MSX Snatcher images... possibly still the best on the web! An evergreen, timeless topic, I say!

Yes Merry Xmas fellow Junkers. Just remember if you encounter a Santa Claus on the streets of a Japanese metropolis who tends to sneeze a lot, he just might be your underground mystery informant! :wink: :-$

Re: New Here ;-) Have Alot Of Questions About This Game

I don't own the game ( It's crazy expensive on Ebay ) I don't know anything about installing a emulator ( sigh ) Has this changed at all in the months since you posted? Give it a shot, I say! Emulation can be a hassle but it's not as complicated or time consuming as it seems at first, and it's very...

That all said in my prior post, I'll take a crack at some of your questions! :mrgreen: 1. Jean Jack's Death - When he called Gibson for back up at the warehouse, did he know that the " Lisa " Snatcher was there too ? I'm guessing no. If we hadn't seen two snatchers with our own eyes, I'm n...

Hiya TiripsRoirraw, I'm new here, too. Honestly a lot of your questions never even occurred to me, mostly because they're so open-ended (they could have any number of possible explanations/ reasons) but I think also because even though it's a pretty linear game, playing it is still a different exper...

Re: Emulation guide for Policenauts (2018 and beyond)

I had trouble getting Saturn Policenauts to emulate on Retroarch (Windows), too. I could get it running on the Yabause core but at some point early on it would crash (it's been a couple of weeks, can't remember if it would freeze or what it'd do exactly, but at some point very early on it wouldn't w...

So that I'm actually contributing something beyond asking for help, I'm offering a little tip for folks that might've run into the same thing I did on another playthrough. This time it's: Retroarch - (various Sega Genesis cores); Windows; Sega CD I'd often run into sound issues when running the Snat...

Emulation questions/issues catch-all thread

Hi all, I hope it's alright a newbie like me makes such a "big" topic here but I figured it might be convenient for there to be an ongoing thread for those having trouble with emulation and for others to share what they know so it's easier for everyone to find. For everyone asking a questi...

Re: So, 30 years huh...

\:D/ \:D/ \:D/ And as of October it's been 30 years since the PC Engine (aka Turbografx-16) release of Snatcher! This was not only the first CD version of Snatcher, it was also Konami's first CD-ROM game release ever! (or should we say, "CD-ROMantic?" :mrgreen:) While I'm sure it's not the...
