A Flashback painting sparks nostalgia
A Flashback painting on Reddit caused a surge of nostalgia among gamers, as they reminisce about the iconic platformer and express their love for the Sega Genesis. From cool graphics to animations and atmospheric cinematic cut scenes, the discussion focuses on various aspects of the game. Some users even mention struggling with aspects like level design and inventory use. A few also express a desire to play the game’s upcoming sequel.
“I love this game so much,” one user writes. “The art style is fantastic, and the animations are smooth as hell.” From the game’s opening cinematic to the level designs, users express their love for Flashback.
“I’ve always liked the look of this game, but I never actually played it,” another writes. “I’m a little surprised by how good the animations look. It’s like the game is moving in slow motion. It’s cool.”
Others mention struggling with certain aspects of the game. “I remember this game being so hard,” one writes. “I couldn’t even get past the f***ing forest level.”
“I remember being really frustrated by the controls and inventory system,” another replies. “I don’t think it holds up today.”
“I never got very far in this game either,” another adds. “I remember struggling with jumping and shooting.”
“My mom helped me play this as a kid,” one shares. “Now I just want to play it with my son.”
“I remember playing this game and being frustrated with the level design,” another recalls. “I think I was also bad at jumping on platforms.”
“I’m so happy that I’m not the only one who remembers this game,” another replies.
“I was never really into this game,” one writes. “But I played the hell out of a Flashback-inspired platformer called Lunark a few years ago, so maybe I should give it another chance.” This sparks interest among users, who bring up the game’s upcoming sequel and Lunark.
Another user mentions the Flashback sequel and a game called Lunark, prompting another to reply, “Didn’t someone in a movie say that about Carnegie Hall?”
“The sequel looks pretty cool,” one writes, “but it’s hard to avoid the enemies.”
“I want to remake this game!” another replies. “Like, seriously, I want to remake Flashback and make it as good as it can be.”
“I remember being so disappointed with the Syberia remake,” another writes. “Hopefully they’ll do a better job with this.”
“The art style reminds me of another game,” one mentions. “I can’t remember the name but it was made by the same devs as Flashback.”
“It’s called Another World and it’s also amazing,” another replies. “They’re made by the same guys.”
Another user comments on recording the game’s cinematic cut scenes on VHS tapes, “I know exactly what you mean! I recorded them all on VHS.”
“I remember the protagonist’s name,” another writes. “Conrad B. Hart.”
The post concludes by mentioning the Sega Genesis and complimenting the artwork.
