In Japan, it was released on the [[NEC PC-8801]], [[MSX2]], [[TurboGrafx CD|PC-Engine Super CD]], [[Sega Saturn]], and the [[PlayStation]]. In North America and Europe, the game was released only on the [[Sega CD]]. The event was later known as The Catastrophe. ==Story== On June 6, 1996 a chemical weapon known as Lucifer-Alpha under development in Chernoton, Russia, is released into the atmosphere which killed 80% of Eastern part of the world. The contaminated area becomes uninhabitable for a decade, when Lucifer-Alpha mutates into a non-lethal form. Years later, a mysterious half-machine, half-human life form known as Snatchers started to appear and killed people of high class society and taking their place undetected. You play as Gillian Seed, a man who has the misfortune of having amnesia for the past three years along with his wife, Jaime, who starts out as a JUNKER, a force of people who terminate the Snatchers. As you get accompanied to your position at JUNKER HQ, fellow JUNKER gets murdered and Gillian takes up his investigation and investigates his murder. ==Gameplay== The game is an interactive adventure, you choose what to do and what to investigate. There are also battles in which you have to shoot enemies, the battle consists of nine grids where you use the [[Directional pad]] to choose a grid. The [[Sega CD]], [[Sega Saturn]] and [[PlayStation]] versions feature light gun support. ==Influence on Later Games== The game allowed [[Hideo Kojima]] to hone his skills for future games such as [[Policenauts]] and [[Metal Gear Solid]]. ==Gallery== <gallery captionalign="left"> Image:SnatcherPC88.jpg|NEC PC-8801 Boxart Image:SnactherPCECD.jpg|PC-Engine Super CD Boxart Image:SnatcherMCD.jpg|Sega CD Japanese Boxart Image:Snatchersegacd.jpg|Sega CD Boxart Image:SnatcherSAT.jpg|Sega Saturn Boxart Image:SnatcherPS.jpg|Playstation Boxart sipled4.jpg sipled5.jpg sipled6.jpg sipled7.jpg sipled8.jpg sipled9.jpg </gallery> ==See also== {{Hideo Kojima}} {{Stub}}
