Isnt Snatcher a super cd game? Did it ever get released outside of japan for the pc engine? I sort of want to play the chibi mx verson one day.
We get around one of these threads each week, usually without any specific preferences and while glancing on my phone, I thought this was the last one people were kind of responding to (
so i listed games I really like that aren't usually suggested).

You can get most of these for under $20 if you know how to shop. The few that can go as high as $30 are worth it. Holding out for "complete" copies can make many of these no longer a good value.
However, it's much more worthwhile not to waste any money on a handful of HuCards and instead save up for a CD setup. If you're impatient in the meantime, the Turbo Everdrive is the best way to go and you can then at least make an informed choice before purchasing any hard copies.
