Only a thing: Please, if you're planning to put Moonsound music into this
'new' Snatcher (or in any game), please don't forget us who has only
MSX-Music, SCC and/or MSX-Audio, most of us don't have enough money to buy
a Moonsound.

Well, pretty nice option!

But there's 2 problems:
- We need to read the CD - which filesystem does it have?
- Which gfx format are being used?

No please, I don't have a GFX9000!
Please, do it 4 MSX 2+ or T-R (V9958)... Why now 2 versions of the same game?

Yep, I know... But there isn't anything that a really good graphic
converter can't do, like Image Alchemy.

Sure, BMP is a one of the easiest file formats I've ever seen.
