What is the definitive version of this before I play it for the first time? PS1, Sega CD, Saturn, PC-88, or TurboGrafx?

Sega CD
Excellent English localization and no gore censorship.

Kojima's unsung classic is Policenauts. Snatcher is pretty well known and is properly regarded

Throwing in my love of SD Snatcher here.

>Chibified version of the original story with some of the same plot points plus plenty of new stuff
>Insanely original and fun battle system - gun battles against robots where you can aim at and disable parts of them to prevent attacks/techniques, wield different weapons with different areas of effect, and tactically pick apart your enemy
>Great, unique soundtrack using an additional MSX music pack
>Chibi Jean Jack Gibson getting chibi decapitated

Still sucks people charge for the 'enhanced' translation, I beat it with the Oasis patch which is fine despite the fontsize issues English localisations had back in the day - if you know the original game well you know the story anyway. The 'enhanced' one seems a lot more detailed and almost too serious given it's the Snatcher cast with huge heads in an almost parodic version of the original. Willing to try it if it's dropped though - a better version's still a better version.

God Policenauts sucks! It's like a really bad Visual Novel. And I don't know, seriously, VN are like the easiest thing in the world to design. So when you design a bad one, that is remarkable.

Like the entire story of Policenaughts is not only a pixel hunt, but you basically have to try everything, and then try everything multiple times. So if you don't know this, like if you want to know about some photograph, you ask about the photograph, and she tells you something, and then you have to ask the same topic again. So that photograph entry can occur 3 or 4 times. And then you have to start from the beginning and try them all again because the third time might have opened something new up. And you have to exhaust every single option. ALL OF THEM. Before the game will let you move on. That is HORRIBLE.

It's not like an oldschool adventure game. Because in an adventure game you don't have to look at and inspect everything on the screen multiple times. You're just sitting there, desperately wanting to move on with the plot, and then you're stuck trying to inspect every little thing over and over again, and asking people the same questions over and over again. Ah it's bad. And when it finally gets exciting, it gets exciting for 20 seconds then you're right back at it.

Is the plot interesting? Not really. You know what the story is? It is 5% Blade Runner, 95% Lethal Weapon. It's straight up Riggs and Murtaugh. It's not even subtle. He rips off whole scenes. It's amazing.

More like plagiarized

this tbqh

>>4103086
Snatcher is the same way, anon, except replace Lethal Weapon with Terminator and Blade Runner

>>4102909
Sega CD, it also happens to be the one that's actually translated.

>>4102909
Sega CD has better audio, translation, colors, etc. The only downside is it has a few nudity pixels censored that aren't in the PC version, but the other stuff makes up for it.

>better audio
>better colors

lol no

>>4103586
The MSX2 version got translated as well by some people in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

Kojima is a hack and all of his games are overrated and shitty.

>>4103947
Fuck off back to your board of frequent shitflinging.

SEGA CD has inferior audio and colors to the PCE version, but of course it's in English and also has extra gameplay in Act 3

PCE version might have an extra sidequest though, and it's not censored

>>4103956
PC-Engine CD version has inferior audio but superior color support.

for some inexplicable reason the part where gibson loses his head is actually way more gory in the sega cd version than any other

>>4103963
thanks for the spoiler

>>4103998
its at the very beginning of the game, it's merely the catalyst
