msx snatcher from konami english version

this is the opening of snatcher for the msx 2 the game uses the scc cartridge.
the msx version was officialy only released in japanese but later on an fan named (Daniel Jorge Caetano) translated the game :) and he did an great job at it.
in my opinion the new and improved sega mega cd version of snatcher will always be the superior one.
but an true snatcher fan has to know its roots, and thats what makes the msx version of snatcher still an very interesting and enjoyable title.

check it out :)

I really like the "rawness" of the MSX2 music. It builds a much more creepy atmosphere than, for example, the MegaCD version.

Why go to all the trouble of penetrating MSX2 Snatcher's nearly impregnable code, slaving away for years at a loving fan translation, motivated only by passion for the game itself, dedicated to bringing the game to the English and Portuguese speaking world...

... if you're not going to let a damn native speaker proofread the English one?

Seriously. I have no doubt the Portuguese translation is top-notch, but the grammar mistakes in this are deplorable. Would it really have been that hard?

Is this the only English version!? They never got someone to proof read it? I mean anyone on the internet would have been able to help. :< TONS of fans out there would have been able to help.

while the designs obviously draw heavily from blade runner, i have to say this game reminds me heavily of Akira (1988)

@krosakikyo download the game, place "special cartridge" SCC (should be a default option in BlueMSX) in slot one then put disc 0 rom in disc slot 1 to start up game. Then after it boots up onto the title screen and the game gives a choice of Run or Install, press the numerical key that corresponds to run. It will ask for disc 1, so replace disc 0 with disc 1. I think I skipped a step or two, but this is the basic formula for getting this to work.

This should have been ported to the GBC/GBA. Damn it...

[lokakuu1985]

Which emulator did you use for this, if I may ask?

[MightyPinto]

What's happening? Are you getting stuck on the install screen?

[pentherapy]

Damn good point, actually.
