Play Flashback on snes Online

Flashback came out on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993, developed by Delphine Software. It was part of that wave of cinematic platformers that tried to tell a more serious story, with rotoscoped animation that made everything feel a bit more real and deliberate than the usual SNES fare.

You control Conrad, an amnesiac agent, and your goal is to recover your memory and stop an alien invasion. The game plays out screen by screen, with a heavy focus on cautious exploration and environmental puzzles. You use a pistol and later a shield for combat, but fighting is often a last resort; you spend a lot of time sneaking, setting distractions, and timing your movements to avoid patrols and traps. It's a slow, thoughtful game, and the difficulty is punishing if you rush. Playing it feels like carefully assembling a fragile, dangerous puzzle where every mistake has consequences.
