In this episode of PC-98 Paradise I play the original version of Hideo Kojima's "Policenauts", for the PC-9821. Long before Death Stranding, before Metal Gear Solid, Kojima made another unique adventure game in 1994. How is it different from the 3DO, PlayStation, and Saturn versions released later?
I want to give a special thanks to Bowl of Lentils for lending his voice for the Kojima quotes in this video. Subscribe to his channel if you haven't already! https://www.youtube.com/@bowloflentils
