Year 2142. Titan Planet... a young student, Conrad B. Hart met them. Who are they and where do they come from? Conrad knows the answers but he has lost his memory and his instinct pushes him into running away... A scenario worthy of a real action movie, a bustling character, stunning animation and neat settings: Flashback is set to be a straight off success, a real must-have among the games.
From the back of the SSI American release box:
The only science-fictIon action adventure with movie-lIke anImation!
24-FRAMES-A-SECOND ROTOSCOPING.
Flashback uses movie-making technology to the max. We filmed real actors in motion. Then we brought everything to life on the computer through rotoscoping, the digitization and retouching of live action film — at 24 frames a second!
What’s it all mean? Simply the smoothest animation ever! Run, jump, roll or stagger — with incredibly subtle and fluid movement. Fire your weapon and watch your body recoil and your enemy crumple with remarkable realism!
LIKE A GREAT MOVIE, Flashback combines an intricate plot, exciting music score, sizzling sound effects, spine-tingling suspense and dynamite action.
Step into this awesome cinematic experience as Conrad B. Hart, a scientist who’s made a horrifying discovery: Earth has been infiltrated by shape-shifting aliens bent on world conquest! To save Earth, you must fight through three fantastic worlds and 200 game screens! Solve dozens of mind-bending puzzles. Survive 50+ hours of nonstop fun, action and excitement!
OTHER BLOCKBUSTER FEATURES:
Over 75 fully animated cinematics, complete with pan-and-zoom effects, direct you through the twists and turns of the plot. An exclusive zoom-in mode lets you check out the action on the screen at over twice the normal size. The password feature allows you to resume play at different stages of the adventure.
Flashback. You’ll have to keep reminding yourself it’s only a game. Not a movie.
The year is 2142. The player takes control of Conrad B. Hart, a man who has lost his memory. After barely escaping from hostile aliens, Conrad's bike crashes on an unknown planet. Conrad finds himself in the jungle, and from that moment on his quest for survival and his lost identity begins.
Flashback: The Quest for Identity incorporates elements of platforming, shooting, and problem-solving. The game can be described as a "cinematic platformer" (commonly referred to as Prince of Persia style), following a design philosophy that was also manifested in Delphine Software's previous work, Another World. Compared to that game, Flashback focuses more on platforming and exploration of large levels.
While a large bulk of the gameplay is dedicated to running, jumping, and shooting enemies, there is also a considerable exploration element in the game, as well as some puzzle-solving. The player navigates Conrad through platform structures, performing various moves. It is possible to simply jump or do a longer run-and-jump, run, climb, hang off ledges, and pick up objects lying on the ground.
To defend himself, Conrad can shoot enemies with his gun and also use various objects (such as stones) to harm or distract them. Crouching and rolling are possible (and often essential) moves that can be executed during combat. The gun has unlimited ammunition; however, shields that Conrad uses to protect himself from attacks are depleted when he is hit and can be recharged at special stations. Though most environments in the game are hostile, there are a few locations that are devoid of enemies. The player is usually required to talk to characters, gather information, and complete tasks in an adventure-like fashion in these areas.
Most of the versions utilize cutscenes with polygonal vector graphics. The CD versions replace those with pre-rendered 3D animations. The Sega CD version also features voice-overs.
