Flashback (2013)

Flashback is one of my cult games of the years 90, so it's really a pleasure to find him today. On the other hand it is an adaptation of the console version, so goodbye the Amiga soundtrack that was great:( One has the choice between the classic "1993" mode which corresponds to the SNES version with pixelated graphics and catastrophic sound effects. Or the modernized version that applies a smoothing filter and improved sound effects that are not worth those of the Amiga version. It is possible to finely deactivate each option in the menu. The few cinematic scenes I have seen must match those of the SNES version I imagine, there are small additions but the rhythm is altered, so the cinematic effect is a bit broken:( I have not yet played enough to really judge the quality of the game, but I noticed that big shiny stars were added to win "Street points", so it is clear that those who adapted the game did not understand that it was a game where the atmosphere is very important. Another point: the music added in the console versions break the immersion and the agoning effect of the original game where it was only the ambient noises that were present. The big mistake is not having been loyal to the original version which was much better. But those who have experienced the game on consoles will be very happy to find the game in this State. Despite my disappointment I can only recommend this game for those who are not too watching.

It'S a boring Sunday afternoon and I see this on Steam "Flashback" the classic game of 90... I feel the call of nostalgia, and a unstoppable impulse forces me to buy this game, but not without certain misgivings... and if it is nothing more than the original PC game in a crappy DOSBox?... I said to myself: "If It is a dosbox I will return it with the same, and wait for this to €3 that is what really should be worth." And is that, that was a dosbox would not have forgiveness, but when today there is REminiscence [cyxdown.free.fr] (a sourceport achieved by reverse engineering in which it is possible to improve the original game, adding parts of other versions of the game, as the voices Of the Sega MegaCD version, the musics of the Amiga version, etc). Fortunately, my unfounded fears have not come true. We are facing Flashblack the classic game of 1992, adapted to modern times, with filters, graphic effects, better music and sounds, tutorials, etc, and also with the possibility of playing the original game as it was. All This makes him, a round game, and possibly the best version of the Flashback to date. If you're a nostalgic like me and want to feel the magic of this game again, go ahead, you won't regret it. The only negative point is that it does not include as a curiosity the screen frames that had the version of CD-I, the voices of the version of Sega Mega CD and of course the BSO and CGI versions of the cinematics, which came out for different systems using CD format (Sega Mega CD, CD-I, Windows95 and 3DO) The God of video games today I hear my pleading and award to my inner child with this game.
