Game Facts: Although you'd be hard pushed to find the credits, this version of Flashback was converted by Tiertex Ltd who also did the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) iteration of the game. Tiertex did a fantastic job on the translation of this classic to CD-i with all the animations intact and some improved cut scene screens in comparison to the original Amiga version. Unfortunately the game lacked the depth of sound offered by rival systems, in many points throughout the game where various sounds are overlayed the drawbacks of the limited sound channels offered by CD-i are quite evident. Another criticism was the incorporation of green borders either side of the screen possibly the result of saving CPU power for the intense use of complex animations on screen. |
