Hideo Kojima's Policenauts (in English)

[J T]

A couple years ago everyone on Racketboy was excited that the English translation to Policenauts was out and those who had always cursed Konami for not creating a localized English release had finally had their prayers answered. Sort of, at least. It required that you know your way around an emulator well enough to patch it.

I was excited about this at the time and I was downloading all kinds of crap to get my computer to run it, but it was having all kinds of compatibility issues and I could never get the damn thing patched and running. I eventually gave up and moved on to something else. So, I was very happy to find this link recently that leads you to a pre-patched English version that has all that dirty work already done for you.

If you've missed out on this great Kojima classic, now's the time to play it because it's a lot more accessible now.

I played it through last year and utterly loved it, its one of those games you think about well after it is finished, brilliant story, even more so if your into cyberpunk.

yeah the PS1 translation rules. I actually wrote a short piece about it in the GameSpite PlayStation retrospective book.

Looking at the picture in the OP I automatically have in my head "Ah Riggs, I'm getting too old for this shit....."

*edit* would like to check this out on actual modified Playstation hardware but looks like the file is 950MB. How can I get this on 2 CDs if its already combined?

After you extract the zipped folder you have 2 ISO files.

Its on my to play list JT, right after Snatcher... So I didnt finish it before Together Retro like I like to for the TR games. I always get halfway then feel like I want to watch Blade Runner, do so, then never finish the game. I still love it, it is just stuck in a loop for me.

Policenauts is an absolute classic. Snatcher may be the iconic Cyberpunk game, but Policenauts is Lethal Weapon in space!

Yep you are correct. Downloaded and I got 2 isos, one is 700MB the other is 500. Sweet!

I take it these files are meant to be played on a PS1 emulator?

Would be cool if there was a Bleemcast version so it could be burned to a CD and played on Dreamcast.

Did you guys get any CRC errors on extracting? I have 2 .isos, 736.376 KB and 599.437 KB but as I got errors unpacking I'm a bit worried something went wrong.
