'''''SD Snatcher''''' (Super Deform Snatcher) is an [[RPG]] adaptation of the [[Visual Novel]] ''[[Snatcher]]'' released for the [[MSX|MSX2]] in 1990. In this version, the cast of characters turns cutesy and [[Super-Deformed]] and the storyline is slightly altered.
 
An English [[Fan Translation]] by a Dutch group fond of [[Bilingual Bonus|Bilingual Bonuses]] is now available.

* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: <small>JUNKER</small> must be on a shoestring budget, because you're now expected to ''pay'' for your own ordinance and health restoration.
Line 12:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Jean-Jack Gibson. He's partnered with Gillian at the beginning, though given this game's penchant for [[Let's Split Up, Gang!|splitting up the heroes]], don't expect much in the way of backup.
* [[Blackout Basement]]: Queen Hospital.
* [[Bloody Handprint]] / [[Stay Onon the Path]]: In order to navigate a minefield, you have to follow Jan's footprints and (later) his trail of blood. A similar sequence happens while following the wounded {{spoiler|Cunningham}}'s blood trail through the caves.
* [[Bond Gun Barrel]]: Gillian in the opening cinematic.
* [[Coat, Hat, Mask]]: After Gillian gets sacked from <small>JUNKER</small>, Jamie gives him a fedora hat and surgical mask to wear, so he can stay on the case without being noticed..
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Metal Gear Petit Mk2.
* ~[[Don't Touch It, You Idiot!~]]: {{spoiler|Cunningham's painting. If you inspect it, he bellows at you to get lost. (Unlikeunlike in the original, the picture conceals a [[Secret Underground Passage]].)}}.
* [[Dual Boss]]: Naizu &and Kashu, and (later) {{spoiler|Rob &and Lisa}}.
* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]
* [[Evil Knockoff]]: Jamie's Snatcher.
* [[Evil Redhead]] / [[Sinister Minister]]: {{spoiler|Rob ''and'' Wesley Crumpton.}}.
* [[Forced Level Grinding]]
* [[Frame-Up]]: {{spoiler|Rob tricks Gillian into shooting his brother, Wesley, by claiming he's a Snatcher}}.
* [[Game Within a Game]]: "Snatcher Headhunter", a Whack-A-Mole arcade game in which you hammer the Snatcher heads as they appear.
* [[Gecko Ending]]: This was made after the original release of ''Snatcher'', but before any of the remakes added the planned ending. As such, this game has an ending of its own.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: {{spoiler|Wesley Crumpton. He has an excuse: Snatcher-Rob lobotomized him}}.
* [[In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves]]: The Snatchers are more self-righteous in this version, believing that humans pose a threat to the planet's survival.▼

* [[Send in Thethe Clones]]: The [[Very Definitely Final Dungeon]] is crawling with clones of {{spoiler|Jamie and Cunningham}}. Amusingly, the latter will say "[[Ironic Echo|Making progress yet?!]]" before attacking.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Quite a few, particularly with the tongue-in-cheek fan translation. More overt shout outs include the opening cinematic (which copies ''[[Akira (Manga)|Akira]]'' establishing shot) and <small>JUNKER</small>'s agents, who are called "[[Blade Runner|Runners]]".
* [[Shows Damage]]: Enemies show visible damage the more you hit them. Hitting certain parts also decreases specific stats.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/SDSnatcher/Update%2029/27-scr03052.gif "No way, dickhead! not while Gillian Seed is alive!!"] (NOTE: pic contains spoilers)
