MSX - SD Snatcher (1990) - Intro part 1

Video Description:
Super Deform Snatcher (SD Snatcher) is an RPG version of Hideo Kojima's "Snatcher" adventure game. It features the cartoonish 'super deform' caricature style for all the characters in the game, but is more than just a parody. SD Snatcher explores and continues the original plot, sometimes slightly joking it.
The first game intro narrates the rise of the Snatchers, mysterious artificial, robotic lifeforms that pursue the destruction of the human race. They are able to take over a human form, usually after killing the original human. It also introduces the game's protagonist, Gillian Seed, who suffers f
rom amnesia and embarks on a quest to find out his past. Kojima, famous today for his Metal Gear Solid saga, is known to be a huge fan of Hollywood movies. This game is another exhibition of that. The Snatcher game is inspired by the movie "Bladerunner" (Gillian even looks a little like Harrison Fo
rd and a lot more characters from that movie have resemblances in the game. Also, the J.U.N.K.E.R. agents are called 'runners') and the Snatcher robots take inspiration from "The Terminator", in which future robots fight mankind and are able to masquerade like humans. This theme is also present in s
cifi movies like "The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" and John Carpenter's "They Live". The Snatchers faces look a lot like those of the aliens in that last movie. SD Snatcher is one of the last games from Konami for the MSX computer system and arguably one of it's best from that era. Contrary to m
any other games from Konami, this game was released on 3 floppy disks and not on a cartridge; it was accompanied by a cartridge that contained the so-called SCC Soundchip, a basic 6-channel soundcard. Many Konami games at that time were enhanced with this type of sound system. The original game is
fully Japanese; a few years after it's release a fangroup called Oasis translated it into English. Opening credits - Production: Yutaka Haruki - Planning: Yoshihiko Ohta, Hideo Kojima - Mechanic design: Masashi Sakurai - Character design: Tomiharu Kinoshita, Kayo Yoshimoto - System programming: Hi

the game rocks...
Still, it does feel odd to see the stars of my high school nightmares in SD, even lovable to a certain degree. Guess I'll just have to watch the rest and see if a snatcher mini-me has as much teeth as the original.
