Alive ... for how long? Engines did not hear - I think I'm prematurely buried. Well, seven deaths will not happen ... Head aches ... Oh, bad sound. It seems, fell golokub that always with me - should make it a rule to open the eyes first, and then wave your hands, checking the integrity of its own. Good news: this planet all littered soft vegetation, and I'm still in one piece, just a little ripped off. By the way, what is this hole? No sign of civilization ... Where am I, dammit? What kind of people were chasing after me? Why? Why am I running? Who am I, anyway? What to do now? Need to get out of here and look for help. But how to choose? And where to look? Too many questions at the patient's head ... We must try to reconstruct the course of events. Stop! Golokub! It must be answered. Hmm ... maybe I - secret agent, one of those that is all recorded in reserve just in case? I feel more will only "chudesatee and chudesatee" ...

These thoughts are probably climbed to my mind, if I were in place of Conrad B. Hart, a man with an erased memory and unknown people shot down over the surface of the semi-wild the planet Titan while trying to escape in a stolen aircraft. Fortunately, Hart foresaw the possibility of memory loss and pre-recorded on the proposed plan of action in this case is a device called "holocube." Further history specials. agent (and Hart really is an agent) you will learn in the process of passing a miracle platformer called "Flashback" (an expression that represents the story of events that happened before the story, described the purpose of giving any explanation.)
On execution of "Flashback" is close to games such as "Prince of Persia", "Another World". Stop-motion technique manual image processing applied to them, allows you to give the characters movements are graphically represented pitiful handful of pixels, amazing plastic. In my humble opinion, it is in the "Flashback" rotoscoping technology appeared in all its glory. This smooth, dynamic and athletic movements of the hero, perhaps, was not anywhere.
However, "Flashback" is strong not only and not so much the technical implementation. This game - in fact, an interactive science-fiction novel. And it is very interesting, I must say. The plot moves dialogue (yes, not at anything that moves, to shoot) and very small (by modern standards) number of videos. This, in my opinion, is quite enough to understand what is happening. To tell the story - to spoil the pleasure of passing. I'll just say that what is happening is least pretentious epics, despite the fact that the world (no, not the world - only the Earth) still have to be rescued. A feeling that Hart - forced hero.
Flashback CD intro
As has been said, "Flashback" refers to a very special group platformer in which there is incredible jump from their seats, and collecting coins for the bosses at the end of levels. From the very beginning of the game you will have a gun and a kind of force field device designed to absorb the damage. And in the ammunition you are not restricted (leave apple picking Aladdin), and the force field can be recharged from an infinitely special stationary power plants located on the levels. Often in the process of passing you will have to solve various puzzles. Usually by the proper application of various items from the banal, like keys to a very interesting, such as a bunch of "teleporter receiver."
It is recommended to familiarize all lovers of old games (and others here and does not happen). "Flashback" is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the best-selling French game.
So, the hero returned home...
