SNATCHER
Retro Gamer
|Issue 263
AS HIDEO KOJIMA HAS BECOME A RARE CELEBRITY IN THE GAMING WORLD, SO HIS OLDER WORKS ARE INCREASINGLY REVISITED. BUT HIS 1988 CYBERPUNK ADVENTURE SNATCHER IS ALMOST UNPLAYABLE TODAY, LEGALLY, AND ONLY RECEIVED ONE ENGLISH PORT – WHICH HAS ONLY INCREASED ITS CULT APPEAL, AND COST

Raised on movies, his parents encouraging him to watch them by himself from a young age, Hideo Kojima quickly turned to making his own short films. He yearned to become a professional filmmaker – but ultimately joined the games industry and took his first job at Konami in 1986.
After working on Penguin Adventure, an into-the-screen racer with platforming elements, Kojima got to implement his cinematic inspirations in 1987’s Metal Gear, the stealth action pioneer’s gameplay based on what he’d seen in 1963’s Steve McQueen-starring blockbuster The Great Escape. After directing that breakthrough, he eyed something with far greater connections to the silver screen: Snatcher.

Do you like Worms?
I haven't been on the telly for about six years and the radio for five. I am very much what some people might call a 'has been'. But to quote Shakespeare, “Better to be a has been than a never was.” I still have tiny bits of I'm A Celebrity magic dust in my hair and every now and then I give my head a wobble and get really sweet gigs. One of them happened a couple of weeks ago when Chris Wilkins invited me to host a Q&A at his ZZAP!64 event in Kenilworth. I've written before about the lovely vibe at these meets.
