The best game of 1992.
The very definition of a good old game. GOG should make it its banner.

FLASHBACK™, the hit action-adventure game with over 2.2 million units sold, is back!
2142. After fleeing from a space ship but stripped of all memory, the young 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, all the while 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, consistently ranked among the best 100 games of all time! 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.
Travel back to the early 90’s and reunite with Conrad to rediscover this cult classic.

The game is unplayable
...by a hopeless control system.

Almost Perfect Update
This is the best example of how to update an old classic I've seen yet. All the updates have done is shine the game up a little and make it playable on modern systems while leaving the original game and what made it great intact. Another important touch is the ability to selectively disable the enhancements to play it the way you want. My only issue is that selecting the 8 bit sounds option didn't make the game sound exactly the same as running through Dosbox, which was a little disappointing as I would've prefered using them. Special mention for the CRT filter though as it's more important than people realise to recreating the look of a game designed for CRT screens as they had a natural blending/antialiasing effect that leaving old school graphics looking a little worse without it.

Fantastic Re-Release
I have been a fan of this title since the 16 bit era. I played it on SNES, Genesis, The remake on Xbox 360, the Switch release (Which is the same one here), this version. This version of the classic does make the game a LOT easier, but that isn't a bad thing. I have already beaten the title in some capacity over the last 30 years, so I know I am not missing anything when I just want to relive that amazing story. Controls are perfect, the visuals can be adjusted to your personal tastes, there is two version of the game audio (a familiar chip tune classic style, and a more modern version), among a few other quality of life alterations. The only shame about this game is the same issue from all the way back when it was first released...the sequel was a flop. How about a remaster of Fade to Back with some sort of real ended to whomever has the IP now?

broken
This game is just overflowing with bugs: items sometimes don't work which stops your progression completely (i had to replay the level to make the job permission card work). Combat is broken, it's really hard to predict when the game decides that you hit something, sometimes you miss 10 shots in a row, then die from backfire, sometimes you can get past enemies, because the same problem occurs to them. Stage hazards won't hit you most of the time, you can sometimes even walk over electrified floor without taking any damage. This looks like a really good game, but it needs some intense bug fixing. I really enjoyed "another world" so i would suggest getting that instead.
