Carl Williams writes, "Snatcher is a game that, at the time of release in North America, was one of the first of a small genre which has not progressed much in the two plus decades since. We covered Snatcher in our second issue of Retro Gaming Magazine, along with many other worthy titles. While visual novels/digital comics are still not a huge subgenre of the adventure category, there is still a following for them. Today, way back in 1988 Konami released Snatcher on the MSX2 gaming computer. What we got in North America is almost a different game than what originally hit in Japan, MSX2 versus Sega CD version at least."

Carl Williams writes, "There simply are not enough two, or more, player games available on retro platforms. Sure, today gamers have online multiplayer everything from racing to shooters to role playing games. Retro gaming fans have had to resort to actually getting in the same room with each other to battle it out (of course, there are emulators that remove that requirement). There was no hiding behind an obscure screen name as you called out your opponent with expletives and comments that would make Quagmire on Family Guy blush. That stuff didnt fly because as soon as you crossed the line you probably got punched. Why am I saying all of this stuff? Because that is the usual result of going too far in a heated bout of Bomberman, doesnt matter which one they all can get frantic and over the top as adrenaline starts flowing."

TouchArcade: It's always kind of sad when a game stops being updated and stops working. When you combine the chaotic and unpredictable effects that an iOS system update can have, along with the fact that updating a game might not be worth the time and resources to actually do so, sometimes games just die off. Sometimes developers and publishers pull the games, or just leave them in the store, and caveat emptor. Look at Geometry Wars: Touch [$0.99], for example: it's got issues on iOS 8.1, which is sad as it's got all the cool modes from Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2. Some may have thought Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light [$4.99] was consigned to a similar fate. It even disappeared off the App Store at one point, and hadn't been updated for three years. Well, out of nowhere, the game's been resurrected and updated for compatibility in 2014!
