Ok, so is there a game like Snatcher but with some RPG elements tacked on? And don't tell me about that chibi Snatcher RPG that already exists. I'm asking about basing all the gameplay on commands, first person, no transitions between change of scenery, investigative gameplay & puzzles, but with some turn based fights, exp and so on. I don't care if it's retro or not.
Sierra Quest for Glory series?
Rance 1
Shadowrun on SNES
SD Snatcher. It actually has a really, really fucking cool battle system. Since no one joins your party, Konami tried to come up with ways to make the battles interesting with only one person fighting them. Their solution was to have each adversary (Insectors, mostly, but also other robots and shit) be composed of multiple parts, like a giant Final Fantasy boss. But the kicker is, depending on what part of the enemy you attack and destroy the course of the battle will change. You can, for example, attack an Insector's legs to slow it down and/or prevent it moving (I don't remember as it's been nearly 20 years since I played the damned game) or its cannons/needle guns to prevent it from attacking that way. I think it's kinda an intradasting way to do it. The biggest downside, though, is that the gameplay otherwise kinda sucks, IMO.
Still, it's very much an RPG with a walk-around overworld, dungeons, experience, money, upgrades and NPCs to talk to.
probably the Mega CD Shadowruntranslation never

This fucking guy.

Dream Maze on the Super Famicom has a similar system and much more importantly, a translation patch.

Read the OP again perhaps

Whoops! Looks like I must have skipped a line while reading. It happens.

Re-fucking-dacted.
But I won't delete it. I must be shamed for this egregious mistake.

Um... so basically an RPG with an ask/talk about command when it comes to interaction with NPCs? Yeah, there are plenty, but they's old and mostly DOS-y and stuff, so I doubt you'll get'em running today.
Otherwise, FFII on NES/FC does that.
The Megaten series does the deeper interaction thing with enemies rather than NPCs. That might intradast you.

DOSBox is a thing that exists.

We were going to end up talking about SD snatcher anyway. I've never played it, so this thread is motivating me to give it a go.
If you're going to play SD Snatcher you should use the re-translated new version, but those assholes are charging for it. I remember some anon here uploaded it here though, and I ended up reuploading it for another anon, but I think the hard drive I had it on is fucked. Maybe if you dig around a bit for it you could come across it again.

Nevermind, I dug around the archive sites and found my old link to it:
