FLASHBACK™, the hit action-adventure game with over 2.2 million units sold, is back on Nintendo Switch™!

2142. After fleeing from a space ship but stripped of all memory, the eminent scientist Conrad B. Hart awakens on Titan, a colonised moon of the planet Saturn. His enemies and kidnappers are snapping at his heels. He must find a way back to Earth, defending himself against the dangers he encounters and unravelling an insidious extra-terrestrial plot that threatens the planet…

On its 25th anniversary, rediscover this classic! It was one of the first games to use motion capture technology for more realistic animations, with backgrounds that were entirely hand-drawn and a gripping science-fiction storyline.

In addition to the original 1993 game, this version includes a Modern mode, with:

Post-FX graphic filters
Completely remastered sound and music
A brand new "Rewind" function, variable according to the level of difficulty
Tutorials for those who need a boost!
See if you're up to the challenge with all the demanding gameplay of the period!

    They released this on the iPhone years ago! Was such a good port but removed it for some reason! Great on the switch too but was so good to have on the phone lol

    I ran into a bug in the final level where you can go up a lift and it doesn't scroll the screen and it autosaves. Then you can't do anything other than start the whole game again to finish it. But I'm assuming that most people will just do level 1 then never play it again. The developers weren't interested by the way, didn't even reply to me. (edited)

    94p for one of the coolest Amiga games… 94p!!!

    I remember playing this whilst Bernard & the Genie was on BBC1. Today you can play this on your Switch & watch Bernard on Youtube like its 1992 again! youtu.be/E05…yw0

    When you download Flashback its default settings have a graphic smoothing option, and the animated intro looks all wibbly, not as good as the Amiga version, and the sound is different… but you can change all that in the settings and have it looking like the Amiga game in seconds if that’s your thing.

    Great deal, and hopefully Another World will drop down to to a similar price sooner or later. In the meantime, its portable Flashback! (edited)

    I can remember being hyped for this game back in the 90s reading articles in Mean Machine. Got this on release for Megadrive and was blown away.

    What a game. A lot of modern games owe a lot to the cinematic nature of Flashback and Another World.

    Extremely influential games and still fun to play today, especially Flashback.
