Title: Does anyone remember this game?
Post by: ##RaCeR## on November 10, 2003, 04:16:08 PM: I remember playing a game on Megadrive I think called \'Flashback\' or \'Flashdrive\' or something. I remember I could never finish it cause it was so hard.

Have they made a re-make or something of it?

Edit : The intro was more atmospheric on Another World though. I remember thinking how good it looked!

I loved the later parts when you were being chased by those hulking aliens with lasers, so you were running away, trying to find the correct thing to do time and time again, as they gunned you down. :p

They were both Delphine but one was distrubuted by Virgin I think, corrct me if I\'m wrong. I remember them being a while apart, I owned Another World on my old Amstrad PC and Flashback on the SNES and Megadrive.

Edit : The only thing I can think of like this is Goldeneye/Perfect Dark on the N64, PD was virtually a sequel with just a different skin over the top, they even crammed in a load of weaponry from Goldeneye too.

I remember that was like the first game I got for PSX.

Post by: FatalXception on November 11, 2003, 08:49:53 PM: I consider them a sequel in that flashback was a very-beefed up out of this world. Simmilar idea, controls, etc. I dunno... it just had that "flavor" when I played it. Although I suppose there was no real linking of the stories, other than the interdimensional thing, and the odd appearance of a few ..... heh.

Post by: ##RaCeR## on November 12, 2003, 03:19:27 PM: I didn\'t like Fade To Black because it was 3D. Should have stuck with 2D.

Post by: Ryu on November 17, 2003, 09:43:54 PM: Fade to black was horrible. "You must follow the way of the oracle." UGH! DIE!

Flashback was genius. In fact, I won an auction for a brand new SNES (Worst) copy sealed. Something like 15 bucks total after shipping. Can\'t complain.
