It seems incredible that Konami's never released the original outside of Japan.
Hideo Kojima is best known for the Metal Gear series, and latterly Death Stranding, but among his early work are two standout games that have never really received much love from publisher Konami: Snatcher and Policenauts. These graphic adventure games are in loosely the same lineage, with the first being basically a Blade Runner riff and the latter a more ambitious adventure-conspiracy built around the notion of police astronauts: the individuals who keep order in humanity's space colonies.
In other words: if you like Hideo Kojima's work, you'll probably find something here to like. And even if you don't have time to play it, you can see at-a-glance how influential this game has been on Kojima's subsequent path: just look at the visual designs and how the contemporary Kojima Productions presents its mascot and mission. This game marks the first time Kojima worked with Yoji Shinkawa, who's defined the look of Kojima's games ever since.
The game remains stubbornly unavailable and your only real option for playing it is emulation, which seems bonkers: Konami's simply leaving money on the table with this one. What did it for Policenauts, though, was not its own reception so much as what came next for Kojima: 1998's Metal Gear Solid was such a hit that this series would dominate his output for the best part of two decades.
