Probably was a good game in its time
I can understand that why this game is revered by many retro-gamers. Graphics were pretty neat, considering the era. I did not get a chance to play this game when it was released in the 90s because it was not released in my country. So, my review may offend some of the hardcore fans as, my perspective is not governed by nostalgia despite the fact that I am a retro-gamer. The greatest issue I had with this game was that of pace of character movement and controls. Even the jump button does not work as expected (and this is my greatest complaint). It made me miss "Konami's Antarctic Adventure" (a lesser-known game you'd often find in 100 in one NES Roms but no one I knew ever played it) far more fun than this. At least, the its jump function was fun. Inventory system of Flashback does look cool, and indeed, I have seen quite a few recent games which are clearly inspired by the aesthetics of this one. But, I have to be brutally honest, there were several lesser known NES games which released 5 years before this game and which were faster paced and far more entertaining than this one. It comes as a surprise to me that this game was very popular globally in the 90s. Maybe its fanbase were the kids, who had too much time to kill. Well, we all have our tastes. Still, in my opinion it is a little overrated game. 8 out of 10 is the most suitable rating for this game. Neither less nor more.
