Policenauts (PC-98)

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Address the dialogue changes. Quite a bit of dialogue was reworked in the home console versions.

Before the PlayStation and Sega Saturn, and even before the 3DO, Policenauts made its debut on the NEC PC-9821 in what was Konami's one and only original game for the computer platform. The graphics in this initial version were made with conventional pixel art instead of the scanned animation cels used in the later console version, resulting in a style that more closely resembles the 16-bit console versions of Snatcher released around the same time.

Unused Music#

The PC-9821 release of Policenauts contains an unused full-length version of the opening title track "Old L.A. 2040". In the actual game, "Old L.A. 2040" is shortened and split into CDDA tracks 3 and 4 which are used for the opening cutscene instead.
