  • wow great atmospheric soundtrack.

    does anyone know if there will be a re-release for xbla or something?

  • God, I wish. I don't see it happening though, considering it really didn't sell well upon its initial release.

    It's a shame, because this game has aged really well and I'm sure a lot of younger people would still dig it. Plus, it's Hideo Kojima and cyberpunk. They'd have my Microsoft spacebucks in a heartbeat.

  • gotta say, I kinda like the music but I'm so used to sega CD. I don't recognize a single piece of music. did they change ALL of them?

  • Most of the Sega CD tunes are rearrangements of this soundtrack. I think there's only one new track in the SCD version, used for the intro sequence. I'll be posting that one soon enough though, so you'll be able to compare.

  • I thought Masahiko Ikariko (Ika-chan) had composed the music for Snatcher, back in the days of the PC88 version and the port to MSX2. The melodies are the same.

  • You're right, this is an arrangement of the MSX tunes, so I edited the description. Thanks for the heads up, I made another vid with the real Sega CD soundtrack (and one for SD Snatcher while I was at it).

  • What the fuck are you talking about? Totally different genre, game play, setting, story direction... what the hell is wrong with you? Also, this game rocks my face off.

  • Wow talking about running into something bad for me. Just hearing this music makes me want to buy a sega cd... just for this game. I think it would easier to get an immulation, but hot diggity dog, this game looks so damn good. I need more video games to waste my life for me!!!!!!!!!!!

see all

  • Someone already mentioned 4.48 sounds really much like Chrono Trigger's Battle Theme?

  • This isn't the Sega CD or the MSX2 Soundtrack, it's the PC-8801 version.

  • 3:16 was my favourite tune from snatcher

  • 1:58 godlike

  • Masterpiece. Especially the last one. 

  • hehe i like how metal gear is intergrated in this game... funny shit ^^ is it for download somewhere? i heard rumors

  • so sick soundtrack

  • If TG-16 CD can be on Virtual Console, Sega CD should be on Virtual Console (and thus this and Sonic CD)

  • Excellent soundtrack. I never had a chance to play this game as a kid. This makes me wanna give it a shot..

  • I'd have Snatcher over Metal Gear Solid 4 anyday! Besides the great music, the whole game is very atmospheric and cool anyway.

    I have not yet seen your list entirely, but what has happened to the great Commodore64 music, like in Parallax, Internation Karate+, Zoids, Commando, Pirates!, etc.?
