Flashback is a critically acclaimed action platformer video game, originally released in 1992 by the French game development company Delphine Software. Widely regarded as one of the best video games of that era, it captivated players with its engaging gameplay and innovative design. The graphics were particularly noteworthy, as they utilized a unique rotoscope animation technique that brought a fluid and realistic movement to the characters, setting a new standard for visual storytelling in video games. The soundtrack, though minimalistic, was masterfully composed and added an atmospheric depth to the experience, making it one of my personal favorites and a memorable aspect of the game. The combination of these elements contributed to its enduring legacy in the gaming world.
In 2018, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, a remastered version of the game was released by the original studios on the Nintendo Switch. This updated version aimed to bring the classic game to a new generation of players while also providing a sense of nostalgia for long-time fans. The enhanced graphics and gameplay improvements were designed to offer an enriched experience. Below is the launch trailer for this release, showcasing the new features and updates that have been incorporated into this beloved classic.
