Flashback Preview

FLASHBACK: The Quest for Identity is a unique game, in that it is considered an interactive movie. If one were to glance at the game, they might think they were watching an animated film, not playing a game. The opening scene is of a young man being shot down over a jungle, who is on the run after stealing a ship. After regaining consciousness, you (as the aforementioned thief) don’t know who you are, why you are there, or where you came from. As you venture through seven levels on six different worlds, asking questions of others as well as of yourself, you realize that you’re also on the run from someone who wants you dead. The story, which is told with the help of 75 cinematic sequences, is a tale shrouded in mystery and suspense, and one that you will hardly believe!

Flashback is really an incredible flashback to 1990's cyberpunk awesomness

One of the greatest platformers.
Having a mixed story with huge references to blade Runner and Total Recall (The original one) and graphics/animations very well done for the time.
Flashback is one of the most compelling games I've played in a long time. And I've played a lot snes in my life, believe me.
The animation between scenes are a little slow, the same happens in some parts of the game. Typical of heavy and great games.

Two thumbs up for Delphine software.

If you like cyberpunk and platformers well made.
This is for you.

great story, and impressive graphics for its time.

Flashback” was a very fun puzzle-solving game for the Sega Genesis. The objective was to move the character through a side-scrolling, wonderfully rendered, future landscape in order to help him regain his memory.

Primarily puzzle-solving with a bit of shoot ‘em up thrown in for good measure, “Flashback” had a great storyline, and fairly impressive graphics for its time. Though there was a distinct lack of music throughout the game, brief snippets would play at key moments to add to the excitement, but for the most part all that was heard in the game were sound effects (albeit cool sound effects).

Flashback: the quest for Identity review

This is an excellent adventure game for the Sega Genisis system, it was released in 1993, the graphics and motion of characters is very realistic for it's time, and gameplay is full of suprises and challenges. I highly reccomend it to anyone who is into role playing games. I was so glad to find this game on ebay since I hadn't played it since 1994, and it's extrememy rare to see it in stores.

I love the game.

I love the game. In the summer of 1994 I was visiting my cousins home in East New Orleans, it was simply to congratulate him on the recent purchase of the house (they were having a party). Well me not being the partying type, I wandered off, and just went stroling around through the house, As I passed by his son's bedroom, he and several of my other younger cousins were playing a video game on their Sega Genisis (Flash Back). When they saw it was me, I was immediately asked to play. What was only intended to be a three hour visit turned into a weekend vacation. And during that weekend I must've ended that game at least five or six times. And I even to this day remember the password/code for the last board/level I played (INCBIN). Thank you.
