Episode 30 - Snatcher

Before Hideo Kojima became one of the most well-known game designers in the world, he was simply a young developer who loved the cinema, and who wanted to apply cinematic techniques to the games he was creating.  One of his earliest titles was Snatcher, a visual novel adventure game set in a dystopian cyberpunk world filled with cybernetic clones determined to take over the human race.  Learn how the game was created, what influenced Kojima's early work, and how well the game holds up today.  Is Snatcher the newest member of our Classic Gaming Pantheon?  There's only one way to find out!
