MSX - SD Snatcher - file 25: Master Snatcher

This is it. The final confrontation. Between Gillian and the Master Snatcher. He had taken Jamie hostage to force her to create the perfect artificial skin for the Snatchers. Now that his plans draw to a conclusion, submarines are ready to take off and launch the Lucifer-beta virus into the atmosphere, wiping out the human race.

After the Master Snatcher morphs into this gigantic robot, be sure to keep your health up at all times, even if that means constant replenishing. A window of opportunity will present itself when he misses a shot or uses Lucifer gas on you (which you can now automatically neutralize, thanks to the L-Angel you found). Focus on his weapons to reduce their strength. After a while you can get hit multiple times in a row before having to refill your health and thus you get more chances to hit him back.

how is it fair that he can take down half of your life in one hit

[oldskoolgamertje]

It is not fair. It does make for a challenge, though. Some of the Final Fantasy boss fights are like this.

[TMMQuicksilver]

Man, he went from cute to Rob Liefeld-hideous in no time flat!

Can you run out of L-Angel if the fight goes on too long?

[oldskoolgamertje]

No, the L-Angel is an unlimited supply. You can run out of patience, though, after he keeps draining your life with each shot. When he fires the Lucifer virus, it is your best window of opportunity to get a shot at him.

beware of the robo tyrant

[606Zodiac]

They should have made this a final boss in the other versions of Snatcher.

@poopskinTheLiar

Actually this translation is not right gillian seed never says that in the japanese version but more classic :"I have to stop you for hary,eilijah and for us". The translation in this version is terrible! Some sentences where taken away, some new were added and some like the one I show were replaced.

Darn,that Second form of MASTER SNATCHER is DEADLY HARD...Erk,better start buying SOME BETTER WEAPONS..

[corlenbelspar0]

Why is a being who's trying to destroy all of humanity going to fight fair with main person standing in it's way?

[poopskinTheLiar]

*TG-16 version or later remakes

[poopskinTheLiar]

"No way, dickhead! Not while Gillian Seed is alive!"

Oh my god. This badass line alone makes me look at Gillian in a whole new light. Too bad that wasn't in the TG-16 version.

[exammaster]

I tried to use a MSX2 emulator to run it but, The damn syntax kept making me po'd. I cannot figure out how to play it and I could imagine it being like Chrono Trigger. x3 God, Randam Hajile is my fave char. Thank god he survives in this one..

[chosentonessournotes]

I don't think it has random battles per se... It's more of a Chrono Trigger or Earthbound vibe where you can see the enemies and they attack you. Awesome game, and being a game based off of Snatcher, it's even better.
