Flashback
闪电侠：back
Flashback is an action game developed by Delphine Software International and released in 1993 for the SNES. Players control the protagonist through side-scrolling levels filled with platforming and combat challenges. The game features rotoscoped animation, giving characters fluid, realistic movement. Players navigate environments, solve simple puzzles, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with enemies. The control scheme uses the directional pad for movement and buttons for jumping and attacking. The game progresses through a linear sequence of levels set across various locations, each presenting increasingly difficult obstacles and enemy encounters.
