FUN TRANSLATION

Playing SD Snatcher in English

While SD Snatcher has never been released outside of Japan there are two fan translations that are available online. The first of these, made by a team called Oasis way back in 1993, is even believed to be the first videogame fan translation ever made! It’s a little rough around the edges but has a historical value all of its own. If you know what you’re doing you could even write the translated files to real floppy disks and play them on actual MSX hardware along with the sound cartridge that comes with the official release.

This writer once used an MSX emulator on the Amiga to do exactly that, which is a bit extreme but also feels kinda cyberpunk in its own way.
