Now, way back in the late 90's, R.Talsorian released a Bubblegum Crisis RPG book that was the first foray into the Fuzion system. I've even written some fanfiction, but that's not the point. You know Bubblegum Crisis 2032? Anime babes in curvy mechasuits with transforming motorcycles fight an evil megacorp that makes Terminators? It's awesome, even if it's largely been relegated to the fate of many golden-age anime, namely anime nostalgia gifs on tumblr.

A similar, though perhaps less subtle, approach to interactive storytelling can be seen in many later Japanese Console Role Playing Games (see Computer Role Playing Games), including both Xenogears ( 1998) and its successor series, Xenosaga ( 2002-2006). While the choices available to the player at any point are quite limited, the careful selection of options and use of a genre within which the player's preferred actions are readily predictable give the actual narrative experience a surprisingly unrestricted feel.

The essentially linear plot (see Interactive Narrative) involves elements of greed, jealousy, love and humour in a somewhat melodramatic style. Most scenes are displayed as still images in a style derived from manga art. The most important aspect of Snatcher is its story, which impressively translates the typical concerns of sf Anime to an interactive form. The player can eventually uncover the secrets of their character's past, along with a madman who wishes to improve humanity by replacing first its leaders and then the rest of the population with a superior form of Android. Many classic themes of Japanese Cyberpunk are present, including artificial humans who are unaware of their own nature and a noir vision of the future city. Confused about his identity, he has separated from his wife and decided to join a special police unit which is responsible for tracking down and destroying the titular Snatchers, biomechanical Androids of unknown origin which kill and replace human beings. The player character is an amnesiac, drifting through life in Japan after being rescued from cryogenic suspension in one of the areas devastated by the disease. The game is set in the twenty-first century, fifty years after the accidental release of an experimental bioweapon wiped out half of the world's population, including most Europeans. Designed in Japan, it draws heavily on the style of Blade Runner ( 1982) and 1980s sf Anime such as Bubblegum Crisis ( 1987-1991) only the 1994 MegaCD version has been released in English. Snatcher is a menu driven graphical Adventure game with some real time combat sequences.
