Flashback (1992 video game)
Flashback is a cinematic platformer whose gameplay resembles Prince of Persia and Another World. Each level spans many non-scrolling screens, nearly all of which feature multiple levels of altitude. Conrad exhibits realistic human running speed and jumping ability, and realistic weakness. He dies if he falls from a great height. Conrad carries a pistol with unlimited ammunition; a force shield, which absorbs a certain number of shots before needing recharging, acting as Conrad's health; and a portable force field with unlimited use, which can act as a temporary barrier to block enemies' shots. As Conrad progresses through the game's seven levels, he is increasingly presented with spatial puzzles, requiring the player to discover how to guide him toward his destination. Late in the game, Conrad receives a teleportation device, and is able to progress by throwing the device and teleporting into otherwise unreachable areas.
