History YMMV / SNATCHER

** The last sections of the church where you have to fight the Insectors in the Sega CD port. As stated above, they tend to go all over the screen in a rapid speed and it's hard to keep track of them before you die. Ironically, the snatchers don't really have much trouble, though this is because one pops up at a time.

* CultClassic: The game sold poorly outside UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}, but it's widely considered a pioneer both for VisualNovels and AdventureGames alike.

* TearJerker: [[spoiler:Harry's death.]]
** While you barely see the character throughout the game, it's played full on when [[spoiler:it turns out he's Gillian and Jamie's Child and he dies mere moments before Gillian figures it out.]]

* LoveItOrHateIt: The beginning of Act 2, where Chief Cunningham recaps everything that happened during Act 1. Some people see it as completely unnecessary, while others like to have a breather episode accompanied with nice, atmospheric music.

** Gillian's English VA Jeff Lupetin was later known for voicing Iam Hungry from McDonald's and WesternAnimation/TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcdonald, which is funny in hindsight as Gillian is a big eater.

* CultClassic: The game sold poorly outside Japan, but it's widely considered a pioneer both for VisualNovels and AdventureGames alike.
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Conducted in the LetsPlay discussion, due to the likelihood of spoiler information being passed about: [[spoiler: "Oh, as if Random could be taken out by anything short of [[KillSat orbital bombardment]]..."]]
* GoddamnedBats: The Insectors can become this during the shooting sequences, [[RubberBandAI depending on how well you do on your first visit to the shooting range.]] And ''especially'' if you're running the game on an emulator (which most every player probably is nowadays), where you'll either have a reticule that jumps all over the place as your fingers desperately try to keep up on the keyboard, or with an invisible reticule that shoots a lot lower than your mouse's cursor would usually indicate.
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Harry's death.]]
** While you barely see the character throughout the game, it's played full on when [[spoiler:it turns out He's Gillian and Jamie's Child and he dies mere moments before Gillian figures it out.]]

* TheWoobie: [[spoiler: Harry, on his way to death, admits to being alone for all his life, never knowing who his parents were, and did not have many friends. His only good friend, Jean, was killed, and he's been somewhat isolated otherwise. On top of that, he died ''without knowing that his own father was holding him!'']]
* {{Woolseyism}}: The concept of "Neo Kobe Pizza" was originally a dumpling dish in the original Japanese... [[http://kotaku.com/gaming/snatcher/neo-kobe-pizza-in-7-simple-steps-252441.php and son of a gun, it's really kind of tasty.]]
** One of the followers of Slowbeef's LetsPlay [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Snatcher/chapter26.html tried it with Chicken Noodle instead of miso]], with similar positive results.

* CultClassic: The game sold poorly, but it's widely considered a pioneer both for VisualNovels and AdventureGames alike.

* FunnyMoments: "My Neo Kobe Pizza! It sank just like the rest of this city's gonna!"
** Cunningham ranting at Gillian should the latter spend too much official credit on booze at Outer Heaven then go to see him.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: The adventure sections (that is 95% of the whole game) can be seen as redundant, slowing down the pace, and plenty of CaptainObvious moments. Even when there is something urgent going on, the characters like to take their time to '''look''' and '''investigate''' everything before doing something. As far as this troper knows, the only time look and investigate options become totally optional is after [[spoiler: Harry's death]], and the pacing really picks up by then (too bad you'd be 80% done with the game when it happens).

* WastedSong: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xyJvJEpxB8 The theme of Joy Division/Plato's Cavern]]. It's only heard while in that district of town, which becomes inaccessible after the first 1/3 of the game.

* FauxSymbolism: [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "My Neo Kobe Pizza! It sank just like the rest of this city's gonna!"]]

** While debatable when you barely see [[spoiler: him]] throughout the game, it's played full on when [[spoiler: It turns out He's Gillian and Jamie's Child and he dies mere moments before Gillian figures it out.]]

* GoddamnedBats: The Insectors can become this during the shooting sequences, [[RubberBandAI depending on how well you do on your first visit to the shooting range.]] And ''especially'' if you're running the game on an emulator (which most every player probably is nowadays), where the the lack of a gamepad can often lead to the reticule sticking in corners or jumping all over the place thanks to a misplaced keystroke.
