There were fights during the nights, staff members felt ill, and we all cried when we saw the ending. On the other hand, it was also a profoundly memorable work. We were completely fumbling our way during development, resulting in many issues, and quite frankly, it was very troublesome. The original Snatcher for the NEC PC-8801 was our first adventure game.
That’s why there hasn’t been a sequel until now, but I was fortunate enough to had worked together with those key members on the same team.Īre there any anecdotes regarding the development of Snatcher? The team who worked with me on the original PC versions were pretty capable (laughs), but we ended up being split and scattered around to different departments. My projects usually end up having too much content, which gets people angry at me, but this time I could add to my heart’s content without worrying about storage capacity, which has been unprecedented in terms of development environment.Īre the developers the same people who worked on the previous version? There were talks about developing it for the Sharp X68000 or the Fujitsu FM Towns, but we ultimately decided on the PC Engine’s Super CD-ROM² add-on. The previous versions of Snatcher for personal computers ended with an unfinished story, so we received various comments, moreso from users than from within the company, that the story needed to end somewhere. Why was Snatcher chosen to be Konami’s first CD-ROM title? We interviewed him in order to learn about his thoughts regarding the title. Kojima, who also worked on the original version for personal computers. The person in charge of this new PC Engine version of Snatcher is none other than Mr. Hideo Kojima (game designer and writer) - The developer of the computer versions is now working on the PC Engine version himself. “I don’t want games to just be time wasters” A direct interview with the developer of Snatcher!
