Policenauts Pc98 English
Homage to Blade Runner = Good Idea / Homage to Lethal Weapon = Bad Idea
If there's one thing the Japanese love above all other things in the universe its a special police unit: not a normal police unit remember, but a special division seperate to the conventional force; one perhaps involved in the piloting of an experimental flotilla of combat Wanzers or the covert investigation of an insipid attempt by alien deamons to controll neo-tokyo by winning a highschool fashion show. Within said unit there will be a fat character, a naive female hotshot, a butch (or attractive ice-cow), a straight character (who is actually insane) and a charcter with shades: garnished with a smattering of mysterious pasts and witheringly inane childhood memories.
Here’s a complete and patched English translation for the Sony PlayStation version of Hideo Kojima’s last text adventure masterpiece, Policenauts. This comes with the proper.cue files as well as a.m3u playlist for multi-disc functionality in OpenEmu and any other emulators that support multi-disc.
If you’re new to the world of PC-98 emulation, here are some tips. First up, a small explanation of the PC-9800 series of personal computers. What you’re emulating is a really old Japanese computer, basically. It comes with floppy disk drives and hard drives, which are the main methods you use to actually load up games and other software. Policenauts is a graphic adventure game and the spirtual successor to Snatcher.Some will debate whether graphic adventures and visual novels can even be considered games in the first place, but there is no question that they helped define the PC-98. I just started a project, in parralel with LOH project, of translation of Policenauts in french and english. I did the opening for now! Quite hard, but interesting! At the time of its release, Policenauts was advertised as “The Next Generation of Snatcher“. While Snatcher was released in English for the Sega CD, it gained a cult audience in America and Europe, although the sales were beyond dismal, mostly due to it being.
From the same team that brought you the cult Mega-CD classic Snatcher (concerning a special Junker division of the Neo-Kobe policeforce used to combat the snatcher menace) comes Policenauts: concerning a special division of the terrestrial police force sent to inforce traffic regulations onboard 'Beyond Coast' mankinds first fully functioning(?) space colony. Despite the usual anime bunkum this game exudes quality with a sensational space jazz soundtrack and some classy direction from everyones favorite bioroid: Hideo Kojima.

Recently a full English PS1 translation patch was released by Policenauts.net to coincide with Hideo Kojimas 46th birthday (24th of August). This ranks as perhaps the most anticipated English game translation since Secret of Mana 2 and having taken some three years to accomplish the script is of a high quality and the patch bug free. There has never been a better time to forsake your conventional police unit!
