Cover art of Kojima's first proposal for the PC-88/MSX2 version of Snatcher in 1987. This was written in a hurry as soon as he returned from his week-long vacation after the release of the first Metal Gear. The working title at this time was "Junker".
Underground map for a scrapped level set in the basement of Queen Hospital. The level was planned to be a 3D shoot sequence featuring a fight with a Snatcher.
