Snatcher (Sega CD, 1994)

About this product

Product Information

One of the best and most engaging point-and-click adventures ever released for any system, Snatcher puts players in the role of former Special Forces agent Gillian Seed, who must seek out and destroy cyborg killers. There are some shooting scenes, which involve using the control pad (or the Justifier light gun) to aim your weapon over a 3x3 grid, but most of the action consists of selecting from lists of text-based menu options (such as asking people questions or investigating objects). In a lesser title this could become tedious, but the gripping storyline, mood-enhancing graphics, and extraordinarily verbose voice effects make this a game players will want in their collection.

  • Accessible, intuitive, and ahead of it's time, Snatcher has aged like a fine wine.

    Snatcher is one of the best graphic adventures ever made and certainly the most compelling game on the Sega CD. Where so many of the games highlighted on Sega's ill fated CD add-on focused on full motion video, Snatcher instead uses the CD technology to bring the characters and world to life with terrific voice acting, an atmospheric musical score, and probably the absolute best pixel art of the 16 bit era. Where so many adventure classics of the past can seem clunky and obtuse, Snatcher is surprisingly intuitive. This game is easy to recommend to any fan of cyber punk, early graphical adventure games, or Hideo Kojima and his legendary Metal Gear games. While it is rare and carries a higher price tag, it's scarcity, popularity, and overall quality make it a worthy acquisition and a true grail in any gamer's collection.

    Good reproduction copy. Plays with no issues and looks pretty authentic even though I know it's not. Nice that the manual was printed smaller than OEM to fit into the DVD case, too.
