Developed by Delphine Software in 1992, Flashback: The Quest for Identity is a groundbreaking cinematic platformer for DOS. You play as Conrad B. Hart, an agent who awakens in the jungles of Titan with his memory erased, and must navigate a beautifully rotoscoped sci-fi world to unravel a conspiracy involving shape-shifting aliens.

How to play

The objective is to guide Conrad through complex levels using realistic, weighty movement to solve puzzles and survive firefights. You must carefully run, jump, and hoist yourself up ledges to progress.

Control:

Game is controlled by the same keys that are used to playing under MS DOS. For fullscreen press ‘Right Alt’ + ‘Enter’.

Tips

Master the running jump: Conrad’s animations carry momentum, so you must input the jump command a moment before reaching the edge of a platform to successfully leap across gaps.
Draw your weapon early: Always keep your gun drawn when entering new screens or dropping into unknown areas so you can react instantly to mutants or cyborgs.
Use your environment: Pick up stones to trigger pressure plates from a safe distance or to distract guards, allowing you to bypass hazards without wasting energy.
