"All controversy begins with DOUBT."

Welcome to The Kremlin, a fansite dedicated to the cult-classic videogame, SNATCHER. This site just celebrated it's 8th anniversary online, and although the site has been going through some tough times as of late, I'm going to try and add some content to it over time from now on.

Another wall...

I put together another wallpaper, this time using the cover to the Playstation and SEGA Saturn version of the game. Speaking of that, I finally got my hands on a PSX version of SNATCHER. And I have to admit, it looks pretty good playing that game on my Japanese PS2 through the component cables to my HDTV. I still prefer the SEGA CD version, though.

Even more media...

I finally feel like I'm getting some work done around here. I added a videos section in the media section. Right now, there are only embedded YouTube videos from my own account, but I hope to have actual downloadable videos in the near future.

Yay for more media...

Added a new wallpaper in the wallpapers section featuring Gillian & Metal Gear. Nothing fancy, just something I threw together real quick after using the same image for a new signature for a message board I visit.

One can only hope...

Thanks to Mark Kennedy (...KENNEDY!!!) for sending this in. Apparently, a Snatcher remake has crossed Mr. Kojima's mind recently. I'm not about to get my hopes up, but I'm up for anything new with Snatcher (if only to give me an excuse to work more here). He also mentions Policenauts, a game I still have to play.

Fun with flash...

What the... IT'S LITTLE JOHN! Found that rather funny.

Beat me to it...

Hey, it's that month again... you know, the one where Snatcher takes place in? Anyway, I happened to stumble upon this little YouTube jem, which is one of the better reviews I've seen of Snatcher. I actually wanted to do something similar to this (and I may still) somewhere down the line, but I don't think I could have done it any better than these guys.

All except for... InTERsectors? Oh well...

Oh yeah, one more thing...


MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Still standing...

I guess I just can't keep away from this site for too long, because I spent a while cleaning up and enhancing a few spots here and there on the site, just to make it more presentable. Nothing too drastic or important, but still...

All good things...

I can guess some of you saw this coming considering the fact it's been about 8 months since I had a real update of any kind, but The Kremlin is officially closed indefinately. This is the second time in the history of the site that this has happened and it was restored once before (due to the release of the GENS SEGA CD emulator, which opened up a lot of possibilities), but the chances of that happening again are rather slim. The only thing I could see bringing this site back would be if Konami decides to rerelease Snatcher on one of the current platforms or if some form of a sequel was made (both are also highly unlikely of happening). It should be noted, however, that I will not be removing the site any time soon. If I have my way, it will always be up.

It was a fun run, but I think I've done absolutely everything I wanted to do with the site. Ok, not everything, but my initial goal was to give Snatcher the attention it deserves and to give those people in the dark about it some information and media they wouldn't find elsewhere. The great thing about doing a Snatcher website was that there weren't a million and one other sites about it, so I always felt that I had a lot of open space to be original and creative. And I have to admit, it felt good to come across a message board that would talk about Snatcher and at some point, someone would post a link to my site telling others to check it out to get info on Snatcher. It was things like that that made me keep working on this site for nearly seven years.

I still love Snatcher (still my all-time favorite) and I always will. I just think I've done everything necessary to get the news out about it and now it's time to move on to other things. So in closing...

Thank you for visiting and thank you to all who contributed, especially those at JunkerHQ.net and it's message board. You were all a constant source of inspiration. And thank you to the creator of the now dead The Snatcher Sanctuary (whoever you are). It was because of your site that I wanted to do a Snatcher fansite in the first place. And, of course, thank you to Konami and Hideo Kojima for making a game that changed the way I played videogames from that point on.

And with that, I'm out.
