Snatcher English translation
スナッチャー
Fudeba Software's English translation of the original MSX2 Snatcher, Hideo Kojima's cyberpunk adventure as it first appeared on Japanese home computers.
What's translated
Fudeba Software's patch puts the MSX2 version's text into English: the investigation menus, the conversations and the narration of Gillian Seed's case. It's listed as fully playable, even though its version number stayed at 0.6.
Why this version
The MSX2 release is the original form of the game, with its own graphics and the shorter story that ends before the final act later versions added. It's a good way to see where the cult classic started.
Playing it
The game spans several floppy disks, so expect to swap disks in your emulator when the game asks. Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese MSX2 release, following the instructions on the patch's page.
