This game is such an oddity. Depending on how you count it, this is Hideo Kojima’s second game (after Metal Gear for the NES). And it’s basically Blade Runner but legally distinct enough to not get sued. Yet they also decided to make one character look exactly like Sting from the 1984 Dune movie for some reason:

And the game was later re-released as ‘SD Snatcher’ with the Chibi “super deformed” look:

It’s all just so weird.

The game was ported to a bunch of different systems so I’m curious for those who have already played the game… does the version matter? Is the PS1 version good enough or do I need an MSX2 emulator to get the “best” version of the game? Also, have any of you played SD Snatcher? Is it worth playing?

Here’s the intro to the game if you’ve never heard of it.

    Snatcher is the halfway point between Blade Runner and The Terminator. It’s fantastic.

    As for versions, I’m not sure about the differences between them, but I played the SegaCD version FWIW.

    They’re not really versions but in some ways entirely separate games. The most complete versions that embody the story coherently are they SEGACD and PS1 releases.
