History
It was Hideo Kojima's second adventure game. It was preceded by his first adventure game, Snatcher.
The Saturn version was at one stage advertised for a forthcoming release in North America (with a rough October 1996 release date), but this never materialised.
Included in the package is a picture book, complete with stickers to customise a Virtua Gun and Saturn Backup Memory cartridge.
According to Kojima in a 1996 interview, the Saturn version was the definitive version of the game.[1] The Saturn version includes an in-game glossary, Virtua Gun and Shuttle Mouse support, Saturn Backup Memory support, additional scenes and dialogues, additional character close-ups, uncensored breast animations, bonus videos, alternate ending credits, and full 24 FPS anime cutscenes (at the expense of slightly reduced video quality, compared to the PlayStation version's 15 FPS cutscenes). An English translation patch of the Saturn version was released at Policenauts.net in October 2016.[2]
