This game crushed my soul back in the day. It was so hard. Great run!

[@jamesquiggins]

My favorite game of all time

[@loquitran1]

This runner is very funny, great commentary and impressive skills. The people on the couch were great too. All in all, it was a great run!

[@brokenhalo22]

Modern day me probably wouldn't give this game more than 5 minutes due to the janky controls. Childhood me was stuck, because this is the game I picked out for my birthday and I was going to get my moneys worth come hell or high water. Needless to say I beat it on hard and loved every minute of this weird game.

The "Holocube/Memories Implant" theme is one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed on the SNES. It's an actual banger. This was a big game in my childhood just personally for me. I have many memories trying to overcome certain things, such as the 1500 credits, and the pursuing disintegrator section.

[@mathprodigy]

and jesus christ the very first glitch is mind blowing to me lol I never knew about this going through walls thing

[@TyBraek]

The animations look more realistic than some AAA titles coming out now.

[@arturstatkiewicz6360]

Looks like Prince of Persia from the same era.

[@StrongKickMan]

I was 10 years old in Germany. I never been able to beat the game but I always did remember it. 2 days ago I saw a clip of it and literally had the biggest flashback

[@willmdrelmtopper9767]

This was great game. I loved playing it back in the day. Thanks for showing it.

[@shinmiroku]

Great job, and you may be the funniest runner I've seen.

[@tecrubio]

One of my favorite classics

[@charleygordonFFA]

Never seen that game before, looks really cool. Nice run!

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

Love this game

[@silentdebugger]

Easily one of the most entertaining runners I've seen at a GDQ.

[@TheGraviox]

Man. This brings back memories.

[@PANTYEATR1]

i still own this game and its very well done and has aged well...almost like the Schwarzenegger movie "Total Recall".

[@Chizzoide]

Oh this game

[@betterinsodapop]

This game always reminded me of Out of This World. I think this game was a little more straightforward and playable, though.

[@rumney90]

I played this game back on the SNES and then a few months back I got it on the Switch it is still a fantastic game to this day

[@mooncake6146]

looks like the abes odysse movement :O nice run

[@davidbowser3181]

With a game title like this, how could it not have been on the GDQ list.

[@vaxen805]

I never got passed the first level.

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

Awesome game, played this first on the Amiga and got to death tower but never made it to the top (didn't know about the wall glitch back then) played on remake in the PS3 years later and not as good as the original but then nothing is.

[@ironryan2009]

Awesome, I know the wall glitch but how do you get straight through the closed green doors?

[@Chronopie]

The movement reminds me of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Though Abe doesn't have the on-demand wall clip.

[@Obiwan1994Kenobi-iv4jf]

Did this game have a sequel called Fade To Black?

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

yes it did :), they just announced flashback 2 the other day, cant wait.

[@rumatriolet4232]

How does he walk through walls I tried doing same movements it doesnt work

[@OriginalPiMan]

I thought this might be by the same devs as the 2D Prince of Persia games, but no. Must merely be inspired by it.

[@richardgesegnet5481]

Ah the originality of scifi parkour and puzzler

[@kennikitty]

Walls are a suggestion.

[@Koettnylle]

Cool run. What console is this?

[@betterinsodapop]

Genesis
