| Ho sbagliato senz'altro la storia del megacd jap e me ne scuso. Senectus ipsa morbus. Non esiste per megacd jap, ma su psx e sat, censurate in più punti. La versione PAL a quanto mi risulta non subisce i tagli sotto descritti.

The first release of Snatcher was in 1988 for the NEC PC-8801 and MSX2, both on floppy disks. In order for consistent sound, the MSX2 version included an audio cartridge. Both versions ended at Act 2. The PC Engine version added the 3rd Act in addition to improving graphics and sound thanks to the CD-ROM's expanded capabilities.
The Sega CD was the first iteration to support any type of light gun, utilizing Sega's Justifier. Only acceptable if this girl is 18 years or older.
Some of the main changes in the English localized version of Snatcher were the result of different censorship policies in each country. The American version saw Katrina's age changed from 14 to 18, likely due to a shower scene and Gillian's treatment of her. At one point in Japanese version, a bare breast was shown, and it was covered up in the English version. Certain animations were also cut, such as the twitching of decapitated corpses in the game. The English version also saw customers at Outer Heaven dressed as Konami characters, while the Japanese title had the guests dressed as sci-fi characters, a change made to avoid legal problems in the west. Another change to avoid legal problems was the appearance of the snatchers, who got an overhaul in appearance so they did not too closely resemble The Terminator robot. Gillian's eye color is changed from brown to blue in the English SEGA CD version, most likely for aesthetic purposes.
Another great change was to Act 3, which was originally very uninteractive. While it still has much less player interaction then the other chapters, player interaction was added to involve the player in the final chapter of the game. The ending was expanded, and a longer intro scene was added.
Oddly enough, Alice's death in the Japan-only PS1 release of Snatcher was censored, when compared to the Sega CD version; while the Sega CD shows Alice's corpse from the front, her guts leaking from her torso, the PS1 version shows her from behind, only showing a pool of blood.
