SD SNATCHER

-

You can get the original Snatcher on MSX but you should really set your sights on the Mega-cd version instead. Not only is it in English, it also includes a bonus third act, way better visuals, music and lightgun controls. But SD Snatcher… that’s exclusive to MSX, and it’s awesome!

Konami’s final MSX game, SD Snatcher took the basic plot of Hideo Kojima’s excellent cyberpunk adventure and turned it into an RPG with cute ‘super-deformed’ character designs and a new third act that’s totally different to the Mega-cd one. It also boasts a fantastic battle system that rewards precision aiming. Shoot a robot’s legs off and it won’t be able to dodge. Hit it in the eyes and its aim will suffer. Enemies show visual signs of damage wherever you hit them, which becomes really fun when you battle a Snatcher and start shooting off their skin to reveal the cyborg beneath!
