Flashback Longplay (Amiga) [50 FPS]

[@diliupg]

I can remember playing this game with my two sons, who were very young, sitting on either side. When they were of age to use the Amiga Joystick, they both played it. We three are still avid games 30 years on. :) I still have both my Amiga 500 machines and the Amiga 4000. Great memories. :)

[@TopperJordan]

I had the Amiga 500 when I was a kid then I sold it to raise money for the 1200 which I still have. Best years ever man!

[@CrazyGaming-ig6qq]

aw man that's just the greatest memories; you guys will never forget it!

[@Promethium666]

My mother, brother my myself have this same kinda memory, brilliant times!

[@Beer_Dad1975]

@@TopperJordan I did the same thing, upgraded from a A500 with a 20mb HDD to a A1200 with a 40mb HDD - then over time added a 68030 and 68882 board with 8mb of RAM and a 420mb HDD. Unfortunately I sold it in 2001 so I could buy a PC, which was very stupid of me.

[@whatevayalike]

The animations still impress me to this day :)

Prince of Persia, Another World and Flashback. Rotoscope for everyone!

[@alpyre]

@Wayne Daniel Michael Yes it was. Jordan Mechner actually rotoscoped the video footage of his younger brother doing the moves.

[@nickharvey7233]

With today's UHD graphics, it's hard to convey to my kids the impact of seeing rotoscope for the first time in Another World and Flashback had on me, together with that great 3D intro to Frontier:Elite 2. Many happy hours on my Amiga 500 (with 1Meg upgrade, of course!)

Stands the test of time for sure. Very cool

after 25 years, im so glad to be able to understand the plot :D thnks for playing this. So lovely memories of the old....

me too, i could barely read at the time ^^

managed to get past the level without having to confront my own insecurities projected onto an unknowable internet personality thanks to this

Sometimes you have to be carried above the ledge of introspection by a community of haters. Through the power of shared self-justification, we can ignore our growth!

[@stevebarnes8317]

This game pushed the Amiga to its limits... so beautiful.

[@bipbipbopbop]

Absolutely brilliant game. The first level was just magical. Though I think the death tower was my favourite part as there was loads of shooting!

[@markdavies8110]

Every level seemed to add something new. My favourite was the second with it's lite rpg elements.

[@akifkara5244]

I think this is the best amiga game. It is the product of the time when the games were made with passion. Back in the days game companies were racing to produce the most creative game. But now game companies only think their income.

[@MudderKuzz]

These games are so much more impressive than todays, because now you have all the graphics and memory in the world. I still remember when I had to limit my mp3 and divx. Amiga probably brought me more joy than anything

[@tigermunky]

As a 10 year old, I never got further than 7:51, so it's exciting to see what else was in store.

[@calypsopiter]

Never got further than 20:20 by then. The special leap I couldn't do was needed there.

[@Isaac-gh5ku]

PC games of that time feels like a different breed altogether than the arcade and home consoles at the time. And they are usually quieter than home consoles and arcade. This makes old PC games somehow more aesthetically pleasing.

[@ssg-eggunner]

PCs back then were notorious of having no hardware scrolling which is why doing static screens work

[@nemam83]

I remember playing this as a little kid... never got past the jungle area, but I still loved it.

[@raulos]

Amazing game. Played it about 25 years ago but still remember every detail (almost every) :)

[@aquillanto7521]

Another classic amiga game with eerily good graphics at the time!

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Fantastic game, one of the best on Amiga. Btw you played well because you know the move: run + release direction + hold button, not everyone knows this.

[@deg6788]

Had this game on the megadrive...though as hell but what a gem

[@parmdeepjagdev8395]

one of the best games of all time. loved this game... lots of fun and frustrated hours trying to finish this

Flashback Longplay (Amiga) [50 FPS]: Save Earth from the Morph threat in this gorgeously animated game from Delphine! Read the video description for my review! I've also got other versions of the game recorded/reviewed, so stay tuned!

[@tiagomiguelgoncalvessantar867]

I used to play this a lot on Mega Drive. I couldn't stop playing until I finished it. I played all night. I finished this game in all difficulty levels. Great game.

[@gabrielloko30000]

The intro music, is pure perfection.

[@sharifalhumaid8537]

Yea. The Amiga version is my favorite.

[@HarveyHirdHarmonics]

FLASHBACK and ANOTHER LIFE brothers!

[@yeraysantanaaday6827]

A revolutionary game in its time...incredible when we saw it first time...is in the memory of old good players..

[@nairocamilo]

Flashback was the first actual first sci-fi narrative I ever got in touch with when a kid, scrambling through the emulation folder that the computer technician left on the PC. Sega? Genesis? I had no idea how to work them out. Search the internet with minimal english knowledge. Find out how it works. First word that catches my attention: Flashback. I know that word. Let's check it out... ❤️ Love at first sight.

[@Voltomess]

When I played this game there was no internet..........

[@Baximus]

One of my favorite games from this genre. What makes this version superior nowadays is the lack of the phrase 'awesome sauce' said in an emotionless voice.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

30 years have passed. I'm desperately trying to remember how far I actually got

[@HeIiosphan]

I remember my Megadrive years, back in the days everybody had a PS2, i inherited from my cousin. Flashback was such a cryptic game, glad i can see someone paying it properly ! Flashback 2 will be released soon BTW !

[@davedavem]

I remember this! I also remember when Tomb Raider came out that the jumping and climbing was just like Flashback.

[@CrazyGaming-ig6qq]

The music, animations and the videos were so amazing back then, so futuristic and awesome. Also peculiarly the menu music somehow reminds me of the menu music from Unreal Tournament 99.

[@MuhammadIlhamuodd254512]

Conrad returns in Flashback 2 and will be coming in winter 2022 for those who came here or new to the series

[@andrewfernie3528]

Wasn't this related to Fade to Black on the ps1 as well?

Cool play through on a hard game....it was and still is a fantastic game...

[@sinam3347]

this game was totally inspired by total recall and I love it.

[@JJPHILLYLG]

This is nastolga at it's finest. I remember this game like it was yesterday. I'm so glad I can play it on my Xbox.

[@twisterwiper]

This was one of the most revolutionary games on the Amiga imo. It blew my mind when I played it for the first time. I still remember it to this day. I wonder if mocap was used for the movements. The most natural in any Amiga game for sure.

[@nickthelick]

Oooh, the nostalgia! 😊 And I've literally just this minute pulled my Amiga 1200 out of the attic! 😊 I hope it still works. It's been sitting in it's box for 25years! 😬 There was nothing wrong with it though.🤞🏼🙂👌🏼 Plus, I own Flashback too, so let's hope the disc are still good! Gotta find my Amiga 500+ up there too!

[@gbxgbxgbx]

WOW! I never actually thought this game was so long. I only got to about one third back when I played it in the nineties :D It was super hard comapred to Another World. Kudos to the creators!

[@MrDibara]

Another World was... _okay, not "straight forward",_ but what you needed to do you vould figure out by yourself with what was on the stage at the moment. A little more intuitive. Flashback has moments where you need to actually converse with characters (the New Washington stage) and that could get some of us off guard if we were still young kids barely learning how to read yet.

[@gbxgbxgbx]

@@MrDibara yes it was far more complex, AW was a straight story, not much figuring out. I couldn't really read English well back then so it was just too hard for me. But the execution of this game, man, the complexity, the short animations, frankly it was hard to believe Amiga 500 could have pulled it off.

[@xXxBUNDIExXx]

I loved this game when I was a kid. I absolutely sucked at it but loved it!! I still think it's a pretty game. Thank you for uploading this. Now I can see where I sucked 😉

[@Furzkampfbomber]

God, how I love this game and still do. And I still think that the Amiga version was the best. And the Ubisoft remake is actually nice, but not even close to the original. And I remember starting this game and just leaving it in the Start menu for hours, because I loved that short piece that played in the menu so much.

[@deceiver444]

[@alkanglnbr7287]

Great game, I remember playing this game for hours on my Amiga 500 and it still looks perfect.

[@billwells8447]

The keyboard controls for this were so difficult for me as a 10 year old. I'm so happy I found this and got to see the end.

[@leexin1984]

i love this wonderful game, i try hard but never get through it. it has so long a story line, i finally find the reason.thanks.

[@Skitizen]

I just finished this, the walkthrough helped me out in some parts. Holds up quite well over a quarter of a century (!) later. We take cutscenes, a storyline and a decent amount of gameplay for granted and Flashback had all of these. In an era where one-disk simple games were standard. Never got to try finishing it back in the day because the copy I had had a bad sector and crashed very early in level 2! I gave it a go on a SNES emulator maybe 15 or so years ago but didn't finish it. Amiga version definitely has better sound.

[@blacklegacyassets]

Finally found this game. Couldn't remember name just remembered seeing it in my game magazine as teen.

[@foxbomber5]

Now its getting a long overdue sequel.

[@johnbarber7131]

How do you make the jump at 18mins 38? So hard 😫 😭😭😭😭

[@MARC-FENIX]

I would like to know too!

[@MARC-FENIX]

You run pressing your direction stick to the right or to the left while holding the A button down (on xbox gamepad, for running) then as soon as you are on the edge you release the direction button while you still hold the A button pressed, then Conrad does an automatic jump which can reach higher points. ✌

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

This, Out of This World, Prince of Persia etc. They were glorious games at their time. I spent hours on them as a young teen...

Must say that the A500"500+" was a great for gaming+games was great then n still are to this day..Watch the look of this game n compare it to today n it still looks great compared to 2023... I myself 1st had a C 20 then a C64 then finally the Amiga 500+ with a 2mb memory inside it)size was about 1 cd but case so memory has come a hughe way since the 90s,But still remember that 2mb in amiga 500+ was enormously hughe back then for me!!!Yeas great games from the whole Commodore years that i still love n sometimes play even today... Thanks 4 this 1

[@vxrdrummer]

This game was like the holy grail when I was little. 5 discs and super realistic movements and stuff. I just never understood what the hell was going on haha.

[@Zerogriever]

Oddworld abes escape clearly took notes from this game 😂 the character animations are the same looking in that game (running, jumping, how Abe swings it hands when stopping from running etc). Also the level design looks similar (different enviroment aside)

The difficulty level of most games especially Amiga games would have most kids these days raging out and crying and rocking in a corner. Weak! It also taught you the need for sleep and letting your subconscious figure things out. Play a boss and die 15 times using up all your accumulated lives but go back the next day for another try fresh and you kill him first try!

3 different title screens : - The most recognisable is of course the artistic face touched by a laser beam from the first box visual on : Amiga, PC DOS, FM Towns, NEC PC-9801, Archimedes, Macintosh - Conrad on the lookout with his gun on : Megadrive, SNES - Conrad spinning around on : PD CD, Jaguar, CDi, Sega CD, 3DO

That second level looks tedious as hell. Just running back across identical environments to fetch a macguffin for a person that opens access to another person who needs you to go back again and get another dreary macguffin. No wonder I always stopped playing after the jungle level as a kid 😅
