About the peculiarity of the Snatcher game engine, I think it's fair to say that's because MSX version should had been a rough port of the PC88 version.
PC88 was a Z80 machine which was made on a totally different architecture from MSX. PC88 had poorer graphics (only 8 colors at a time) but better sound. PC88 made much bigger success than MSX in late 1980s as a game console, I think. Here's a collective fansite; http://www.pc88.gr.jp/ I personally know almost nothing about PC88, however.
