Flashback (フラッシュバック), known in the US as Flashback: The Quest for Identity, is a game developed by Delphine Software International and published by U.S. Gold. It is a cinematic platformer inspired by Prince of Persia and Delphine's own Another World.

Arguably Delphine Software's greatest work, the game was well received for its fluid, rotoscoped animations and stealth-like gameplay. Though it was originally developed for the Sega Mega Drive, it was first released for the Amiga in 1992. A version for the PC-9801 VX and PC-9801 UX was released exclusively in the Japanese market by Victor Interactive Software.

Story

In the year 2142, intelligence agent Conrad B. Hart discovers that shapeshifting aliens known as Morphs have infiltrated human society. He records a message to himself, but before he can warn anyone else, he is captured and his memory erased. He later escapes, but crash-lands his vehicle in a jungle, where the gameplay begins as he drops his recorded message.
