If you want to play it again just download the iso of this game and use a PC Engine emulator like MagicEngine or Ootake. (I prefer the latter one, it's more reliable.)
The Sega CD version is still my favorite for a few reasons: the 2nd shot of the city in the intro, the conversation between Gillian & Jamie, the deep-voiced narrarator, the in-game music, the touched-up artwork, and the personalties/diction from the U.S. voice cast. I know it's not what Hideo intended, but I enjoyed it regardless.
That, and maybe the fact that I played the game when I was 10 years old when it first came out.
Thanks for uploading. It's great to examine the differences.
Forgive me for sounding noob, but is the 'Snatcher' thing a virus that turns people in robots? But just on the inside...? I read a feature on this game back in '95, but it only talked about the graphics changes when it was ported to the PSX.
Nope, it's not a virus. That's all I'm gonna tell you, if you want to know more you either watch Ronack's "Snatcher Run" videos, or, even better, you play the Sega CD version yourself, it's very easy to find an working iso of the game.
Because all the other versions were only released in Japan and the first version for PC88 which was released in 1988 had the date 1991. The Sega CD version was only released in USA und Europe and never in Japan and because it was released in 1994 and most western gamers never heard about Snatcher before, they changed the date, because at that time 1991 was already a little bit outdated.
Propably June 6th 1991, since it's a fictional story anwayay, there's no need to change the date of the catastrophe. Hideo Kojima wasn't involved in the US version at all, he wasn't responsible for the date change but if there would be a remake, Kojima would either direct it, or at least supervise it, so I don't think they'd make any changes to the story and dates.
Is there a good PC Engine emulator to play this game but with the original CD ROM? I´m planning to buy this version.

Nope.

And it's the PC Engine, which, despite it's name, is not a PC but a gaming console.

Oh! Thanks, not owning a Sega CD would have made the second one more...uh..effort-y...lol. Thank you! =D

There's a good Sega CD emulator, called "Gens". With that you can play Snatcher without problems on your PC.

I noticed that there's an extra scene in the Sega CD version where Gillian talks to his wife before he takes off. Just noticed that.

The PC Engine game is widely agreed among elitists as the definitive version...
Kojima-san has also said that he thinks this is the definitive version...as for me...AGREED!!!

Why do all the other versions say June 6th, 1991, but Sega CD says June 6th, 1996?

Because all the other versions were only released in Japan and the first version for PC88 which was released in 1988 had the date 1991. The Sega CD version was only released in USA und Europe and never in Japan and because it was released in 1994 and most western gamers never heard about Snatcher before, they changed the date, because at that time 1991 was already a little bit outdated.
But the canoncial date is of course June 6 1991.

I wonder what date would it be if they remade it for the next gen systems

Well if was made now I think that the date would be the the present time

And the birthdates to some of the chicks in the game were changed for sega cd.. Because they were jailbait
