It's been hard finding images for the MSX version of Snatcher.

I really love the low-fi look of the graphics. Almost "gritty" in a way.

Let's collect some good ones in this thread.

You must acknowledge that the translators' first language isn't english, I'm pretty sure it's Portuguese.

Well that explains it, I had the feeling English wasn't his first language.

As a matter of fact, I dumped the Japanese.. Takamichi translated it and Daniel implemented it. All separate actions without intervention by the other part =)

So the correct reply would be, he is Japanese, hence his first language isn't English.

I see you figured out how to post images.

I love the grainy look of the MSX2 version, it makes the game seem more gloomy and mysteries. :D

Yep, I use attachments :P
Some of the MSX version I notice requires a bit more exploration to progress. I did everything required to get past a certain part in the Sega CD and Gibson didn't call. So I then proceeded to harrass Harry. :P Also, when you go to give Harry Little John's memory, he can offer you to drink booze and Gillian can get drunk! XD

This is an interesting image from AwesomeBrand's imageshack page-

If this is translated correctly "Alphaville" is another Kojima reference. Alphaville is kinda the original cyberpunk/ futurenoir movie from the 60's.

On today's episode of "Snatcher MSX" we visit Gibson's home to mol- I mean CONSOLE his underage daughter and get any evidence. The Computer versions seem to have an extra puzzle involving a single key. Answer is the Home Key. Also a 4th wall breaker. OH THAT KOJIMA! :D

I feel bad. Either people aren't able to get the ROMs and/or play this themselves (which is strange as you can find it under this main site's links) or you are in high anticipation and have come to view practically every day and as a result can't. I feel bad because I haven't taken any new shots or even played for a few days! I'll be back tomorrow with pics, I promise! :C

On today's issue of MSX Snatcher shots, I deal with an LSD junkie and combat a couple. They all deserved it, I swear! Just as a warning, this part includes NUDITY! More than likely, however, this will actually make people WANT to look, but whatever.

Great stuff.

Are there shooting sequences in the MSX version?

Of course the MSX version has shooting sequences. I tend to not try and take pictures of those as I end up dead rather quickly. You hold shift to draw the blaster and use the num-keys to determine where in the grid you want to shoot. Anyway, MORE PICTURES! If anyone knows the main difference between Japanese and English Snatcher, they'd know the upcoming part has jailbait nudity! I actually missed the 2 more revealing frames of animation as I was using the fast forward function hacked in by the translators and zoomed right by the 1st one and was late for the 2nd one. To those who care, sorry.

So Gillian goes to Queen hospital, explores all rooms and finds a patient record along with matches of the Outer Heaven brand and... I don't know. I'm serious, I don't know what to do here. In the Sega CD version I go outside, try to call napolean, and then go on my way to O.H., but I can't get the event with the wolfman video to come up when I call napolean and am currently stuck. If anyone knows what to do and wants to pick up where I leave off then go ahead. For all I know I just have to show it to a bunch of random people in HQ then discuss it with them, but I feel that is a rather unnecessary step.

I've been busy on other games and worked on my playthrough of the MOTHER 1 retranslation (That you can find on the Youtube account "Sagesofl33t") and was actually planning on continuing this sometime, but I honestly would have forgotten all about this if I hadn't a certain feeling kicking me in the back of my head. In all honesty I wanted at one point to drop this project of mine, but I know that if I do someone could be disappointed, and even offered to let someone else take it from here if they desired. I actually thought someone would and am rather disappointed noone did! >:( Since I was getting reasonably close to the end anyway, as the MSX/PC88 version only goes up to act 2, and since I feel as if I let the community down, I'm going to take this project back up once again! Now to figure out how the hell to get to the next part of the game... :|

Super awesome!

I was thinking about doing a documented playthrough but thought I would just let the players here finish up. Funny huh?

Can't wait to see the news screen caps. Again I really dig the low-fi grittyness of these msx graphics.

Apparently I was right. You have to show the Memo to Harry, and he then suggests asking a chinaman about it, and Gillian remembers that Napolean is Chinese. Anyway, thus marks the VALIANT RETURN OF ME! Also be sure to check out the Youtube channel me and my friends share. After playing through Earthbound and Mother 3 I plan to do a playthrough of Snatcher (Sega CD version)!
