SNES Longplay [093] Flashback: The Quest for Identity

[@Zaloomination]

Man this game was great. One of the most memorable games of my childhood. Awesome storytelling, and the motion capture was smooth and faster than Out of this World

[@josephforjoseph]

Could these be the most petty annoying and negative commenters in the world? This game is amazing! Incredible detail and back when sci fi was a mix of modern times with realistic futurism. Though this game was a pain at time. Thanks for uploading 😁

[@solarflare9078]

This game or rather port is NOT amazing. Try coming back to this game after playing the Amiga and Mega Drive version and you'll see how awfully stiff and sluggish the controls are, as well as how slow it is. This is unsurprising actually, because the worst game developers in the world, Tiertex, were behind this lazy effort.

[@professorpenne9962]

yes this game is amazing, it's still one of my favorite platformers of all time. the snes port just sucks.

[@badkarm4]

I loved it! :D I can half remember the codes lol..

[@Bloodreign1]

@@solarflare9078 He's entitled to his opinion, like you are entitled to yours. If he finds this good, then so be it, it is good enough for him. He didn't even mention which console he was talking about for this game before you just jumped on him about the game. Sounds like someone's a bit insecure, you shouldn't need to defend your console of choice if you weren't.

[@Realpoweronearth]

this is such a great game lots of fun but out of this world was impossible at times

[@crooksupremacy]

I've played this game over 100 times when it first came out, and I never thought about using the teleporter to get back to the ship.. damn it...!

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

I know right! the amount of fails getting back when it was so easy!

[@No1.OriginalTrilogyStarWarsFan]

How do you manage to survive jumping through the green stuff near the end? Every time I try to jump or roll through it I get killed.

[@illusiondrain]

One of the best games back in the time,cinematics was very good for that time and the gameplay was amazing,great role play.

[@conflictdiamonds]

The animations were so fucking rad back in the day. I use to just run and jump for the beauty of it.

[@Baximus]

The Anti-G belt jump music really disappoints me when compared to the Genesis version. So rockin'.

[@urosmarjanovic663]

On Amiga, that big jump with catching the platform above was sooooo difficult and frustrating. Nevertheless one of the best looking arcade platformers ever on Amiga.

[@foxmulder5150]

This game reminds me of Total Recall with a John Carpenter Score! Definitely one of my favorites besides Out Of This World

[@ticenits1926]

the cinematics in this game were so rewarding

[@RS4KING]

My favorite game for SNES. This game was amazing.

[@user-nx5nx9]

This game is gey

[@bludrugo29]

​@@Random_Person. shut up you flamer. This game was awesome

[@johneygd]

No wonder the snes version is sluggish and slow because of it’s slow 3,5 mhz cpu chip,but still this game gives a glimpse of what the snes cd & the now sd2snes is capable off,really am amezed of these animation cut scenes.

[@Bloodreign1]

Trust me, it could be done faster, people have started using something called an SA-1 hack (named after the chip used in some SNES/SFC games) that seems to speed games up properly. So far, only Gradius 3 has been done, and that game, when patched, runs 100% without any slowdown whatsoever. Young programmers these days have access to more tools than devs back then did, and they have been able to do more with the SNES than thought possible.

[@SNARC15]

Tiertex. That is all we needed to know.

[@atroise]

This Game is so unique, very good

[@John09887]

It's actually not. Look up the game "Blackthorne" made by Blizzard. Thank me later =)

[@atroise]

@@John09887 Thanks is a good one

[@BlackfootFerret]

Why does this remind me of Out of This World?

[@captainviggo4575]

BlackfootFerret Delphine Software, which has only published Out of This World, then developed Flashback greatly inspired by Out of This World gameplay.

[@Ostnizdasht206]

BlackfootFerret Same engine. Same developers.

[@LuigiBlood]

Blast Mode Processing FX 7 Definitely not the same engine, and definitely not the same developers. Another World / Out of This World was just published by Delphine Software and was made by one man. Flashback was made with like a team of 10 people, began development when Another World wasn't even finished yet.

[@Zaloomination]

I remember OotW as being so emotionally riveting, just a great game. Both of these are so different and yet have their aesthetic similarities

[@crumpetsack3909]

BlackfootFerret because dr phil said so

[@HsienKoMeiLingFormerYANG]

Aside old classic retro gaming, Flashback: Remastered Edition movingly on the *Switch* mode. Can I noticed WOLP play Flashbacks seven year ago?

[@LuigiBlood]

SNES and CD-i versions are the worst. Both were handled by Tiertex Ltd, so you can see why it sucks. Technically though you should compare to the Genesis version because it's actually the original version, Amiga being actually a port and released before the Genesis version because of the amount of time needed to be approved.

[@MickBim]

No it's not It's laggy as fuck.

[@kosmosyche]

Amiga version has the best music, but I hate the loading times for cutscenes animations and between levels. I prefer the PC version (especially with Roland MT-32 music), since it has no loading times. Genesis version is also very good, but the music is worse than Amiga or Roland (better than Adlib though). SNES version is simply atrocious, of course, only degenerates such as R GG can praise this abomination.

[@dommega88]

SNES FOREVER.

[@solarflare9078]

SNES is a good console, but this port is just awful, like all of Tiertex's work

[@No1.OriginalTrilogyStarWarsFan]

How do you manage to survive jumping through the green stuff near the end? Every time I try to jump or roll through it I get killed.

[@huberthans4312]

The CPU of the SNEs was to slow for such things. Did the cartdrige have any additional CPUs/ HW acceleration like most other games? Seems not the case here...

[@solarflare9078]

Nope. Then again, part of the reason behind this was Tiertex's usual shit tier programming.

[@SuperHns]

I love that music, even though the SNES soundchip is better, I think for this OST, the Sega Mega Drive sounded better.

[@solarflare9078]

Mega Drive is definitely better. Tiertex's minimal effort on this port is pathetic (then again, Tiertex's effort on every port was pathetic)

[@theimmortalvk9273]

Scariest SNES music ever!!!! O_O

[@AdiSneakerFreak]

ah the Amiga classic

[@QuestionableGamingOfficial]

Shout out to vector graphics!

[@admazorca]

i love this games.

[@antonioalexandrecampelo5668]

Amazing super nintendo game

[@firesocks2017]

The intro sounds like the theme from Big Brother

[@professorpenne9962]

the cube music being gone alone is a reason to hate this port

[@solarflare9078]

Wow. Tiertex makes THQ look like programming gods in comparison.

[@captainviggo4575]

Indeed, this is surely the worst version of the main systems of that time. I don't even know why, the SNES was capable of much more, even the sound effects are terrible for no real reason. To the player/uploader: contrary to what you say in the description (and to what most people think, including me until recently), the Amiga version is not the original one. The game has been developed for the Mega Drive/Genesis, and then ported to other systems. The Amiga port has been released first only because the creators had to wait for SEGA's validation on the Genesis version.

[@rorymccallum7578]

This game was amazing and was great for its time. Youre just spoiled and snotty. If you dont like it go somewhere else. I hate whiney bitches

[@JFJD]

Nobody's saying the game itself isn't awesome; it's the *port* to the SNES that's so disappointing. Skip to the end and watch Conrad's ship as it leaves the planet - there's supposed to be a deep *boom* sound that syncs up with the explosion of the cave, which there is in the Genesis version. Also, right as the cryo pod closes and the camera slowly pulls away from the ship, there's supposed to be a stirring march-type theme segueing into the closing credits. Instead, we get this techno version which pales in comparison to the original. Face the facts, scrub: Genesis did what Nintendidn't.

[@JFJD]

...this is a gimmick account or something, right? You have no activity on it. Interest...lost.

[@rorymccallum7578]

JFJD I dont need activity. Im employed and dont live on the internet. Get a job and quit stalking my account you creep

[@captainviggo4575]

Rory McCallum "I don't need activity. Im employed and dont live on the internet." And yet you're defending a 20+ years old game on KZbin, completely out of proportion when there is no need to defend it (I love this game but this port doesn't do it any justice, that's all). I really hope you're just a troll, even if it's the most useless and wasteful activity to have in one's life.

[@neovoltron25]

I thought about dressing up as Conrad Hart

[@Yser-w6lx7pe8b]

Hello. How to throw a bomb. I want to know how in this game. the bomb I do not have. Your channel's content is more than great, keep it up.

[@paxhumana2015]

You know what...I think that a much larger version of this game is honestly what the Jason Bourne franchise that Robert Ludlum made is precisely what that franchise needs.

SNES just didn’t have enough horsepower to run this game well stick to the Amiga and Mega Drive versions.

[@CarozQH]

The Jaguar version is much better and not as slow.

[@solarflare9078]

Funny, because Tiertex also developed that version....

[@WillScarlet1991]

Well I liked it :p

[@hazy33]

This might be sacrilege to a lot of people but the 360 remake is a LOT more playable than this.

[@testsubject157]

Genesis version is so much smoother and better sounding than this. Amazing game nonetheless

[@testsubject157]

Lol ok dude

[@testsubject157]

"Shitty Genesis" LMAO

[@solarflare9078]

It's because this version was made by the masters of piss-poor ports, Tiertex. Never EVER expect quality from them. They have never made a good port of any game.

[@Jellyfish60]

wow, this doesn't look good on snes at all...

[@NaldinhoGX]

Genesis, Jaguar and Amiga is more better.

[@musiclover9399]
