Flashback is a groundbreaking cinematic platformer released for the SNES in 1993, developed by Delphine Software International. You step into the role of Conrad B. Hart, an agent of the Galaxia Bureau of Investigation who awakens in the year 2142 with his memory wiped. Renowned for its fluid rotoscoped animation and gripping sci-fi narrative, the game challenges you to navigate treacherous environments to uncover a sprawling alien conspiracy and save Earth.
How to Play
Your objective is to guide Conrad through complex, grid-based levels using a combination of running, jumping, climbing, and gunplay to solve puzzles and defeat alien threats. The default SNES controls in the browser are mapped as follows: use the Arrow Keys to move and aim, Z and X for primary actions like jumping and interacting, A and S to draw and fire your weapon, Enter for Start, and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Draw early: Conrad takes a brief moment to draw his weapon. Always ready your gun before entering a new screen or engaging an enemy to avoid taking cheap hits.
- Master the roll: Use the forward roll to swiftly bypass security sensors, avoid incoming laser fire, and quickly close the distance to enemies.
- Save your credits: You will need to purchase a work permit later in the game. Pick up every credit you find and complete jobs in New Washington to avoid getting stuck.
