Two-dimensional adventure and arcade game, reminiscent from the strictly technical side of such programs as Another World (the same developer - Delphine Software) and Prince of Persia.

The game will allow us to play the role of Conrad B. Harta, a brilliant scientist who during routine research becomes the author of a terrifying discovery: the Earth has been haunted by alien creatures capable of changing their appearance. Our hero wants to share shocking information with the appropriate authority, but due to corrupt police action he has to flee the city. During the chase, an air motorcycle is shot down and our hero, with an amnesia after an accident, ends up in the jungle. As you can easily guess, it is us who will have the honour of saving the celestial planet from the cosmic race of Morphs.

Flashback is an adventure arcade game, unofficially called Another World sequel, which is a kind of a mistaken claim, because the storylines of both games have nothing to do with each other. On the other hand, the way of presenting the action (we see our hero from the side), as well as the control, although the latter has been significantly expanded in relation to the original. Conrad can perform a number of breakneck evolutions, both with and without weapons, which undoubtedly has a positive effect on realism. The game contains a large number of typically arcade elements, every now and then you will have to jump on various platforms and fight your opponents, although it would be unfair to say that the game boils down only to that. We have here many elements characteristic of adventures, such as collecting objects and their use, or conversations with encountered characters.
