  The Great Games - Snatcher - GameCritics.com
Snatcher for Sega CD remains to this day the only version of the game ever released in North America—truly amazing considering the game's importance in the development of video games as popular entertainment.
Snatcher was created by Konami's resident game brain, Hideo Kojima—the man now known the world over as the creator of Metal Gear Solid and the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 2.
Snatcher would be yet another game from Kojima that would make its debut on an 8-bit personal computer that was virtually unknown in America—this time for the NEC PC-8801.

  Snatcher Review
While many say that Snatcher, with the illusion of freedom granted by total stylistic immersion in a fairly point-and-click world, is easily the system’s best offering and a pivotal development to the industry, others, citing the same PC-game style and interface as redundant and limiting, call it overrated.
Snatcher was the brainchild of Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear fame, and first appeared on the PC88 in 1988 (a NEC system).
In the case of Snatcher, the year is 2047, the place, Neo Kobe, Japan, and the menace comes from the titular identity-swiping robots, complete duplicates of existing persons, bent on replacing very important people in society (that’s the actual criteria - must be a V.I.P. to be snatch-worthy).

We have to, as it is Boris Karloff's mellifluent voice that delivers the promise, and director Robert Wise has presented Gray up to this point as someone who could deliver on his sinister assurance even after the television has been shut off.

 Snatcher >> Policenauts : SoundtrackCentral.com
Snatcher is one of my favorite games ever, and I went so far as to buy the Japanese Policenauts game, despite not understanding a word of it.
Snatcher >> Policenauts is a collection of music from both games - taken from various other music CDs - also featuring a good number of arrangements specifically for this album.
Some of the arrangements are fairly close to their originals - "Bio Hazard" is still as eerie and tense as ever - but others take liberty, such as "Danger Dance, Justice All", which was originally a moody, atmospheric track but is turned into a very catchy song using a superb drum beat.

The soul snatcher was made from a harness that went around the legs, and one on the back, around the chest.
When someone was at the right location, the soul snatcher would jump from his perch, and fly down the line on a pulley, and land just short of them.
In some areas, the soul snatcher was too dark to see, so we taped a flashlight to the person's chest to point up onto the face, and that made them look even scarier.

 HonestGamers: Snatcher (Sega CD) Video Game Reviews Video Game Coverage   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Upon Seed’s arrival, it is this new menace -- the Snatcher plague -- that is tormenting the island city of Neo Kobe, five decades after The Catastrophe, and JUNKER is the task force designated with the responsibility of alleviating the problems.
Snatcher wastes no time in establishing its grimness, and Gillian will realize the seriousness of the threat being posed in short order: by the time you arrive, Gibson’s head has already been severed; his remains sit slumping in a pool of blood against a dark wall deep in the factory.
While Seed toils in eliminating the Snatcher menace, we’re also submitted to watching him realize where he himself came from -- an additional burden, considering the magnitude of the looming societal terrors and the emotional precariousness of having no idea of one’s own past, and slowly seeing that the two may be somehow intertwined.

 Meta-Review: Snatcher - Sega CD - racketboy.com
I can’t help but be drawn in by titles that the majority of gamers have only heard in passing, but genuinely derseve to be played to their fullest extent.
Snatcher is the classic example of a low-profile game that comes out during the final days of a short-lived console (actually an add-on in this instance) and is only discovered by hardcore gamers.
Instead of being a typical FMV game that was quite common on the Sega CD, Snatcher is similar to the graphical adventures of old on the PC (some gamers refer to it as a “digital comic”).

 Re: Snatcher translation...
Debugging is necessary to see what Snatcher is doing, save state is necessary to test translations without having to restart Snatcher every time: using the Snatcher save system is too tiresome.
Not just the texts, but also the menus, the animation scripting, the game scripting etc. Anyway, that's the impression I got when I was hacking at it, because I didn't understand all of it I cannot be 100% sure.
Fortunately, Snatcher uses 2-byte characters but also supports the display of 1-byte characters.
