There was a game on the megadrive which was like total recal but i cant remember what it was called... anyone remember it??

Was the first game that really looked like a person on the screen in the movements they made...

Keep wanting to say fade to black but i dont think its that one....

Got it.....

Flashback

Did anyone else play this? Im tempted to dig out my megadrive this weekend now...

I played that. It was the follow up to Another World (called something different on the megadrive I believe).

Prince of Persia originally brought lifelike animation to a computer game through one of the first computer game applications of rotoscoping. Mechnar also looked at the game from the point of view that computer games at that time were about as advanced as movies were when they were silent movies (chaplin, etc.) so it used simple graphics with beautiful animation, and crude cut scenes.

Another World then took that to the next level to match the technology at the time by introducing full screen movie style animated cut scenes on top of the realistic animation, and also added them in game as well as in between levels, etc. This was all executed around a movie style story line so it ran a lot like an interactive movie.

Flashback followed that up again by improving the graphics some more to match the systems at the time and following a similar pattern of movie style story line, realistic animation, and cut scenes.

Wasn't a big fan of Flashback personally (although I can appreciate everything that made it what it is), and enjoyed Another World a lot more.

i think i've still got flashback on my amiga.
never really played it much.
another world was good.

    ^top

flashback was easier than another world, you can get them on the pc as abandonware now

Out Of This World it (Another World) was also called. I just fired up my SNES emulator to get the title. Don't know if the Megadrive version had the same title though. Great game though.

You don't need to dig out your Megadrive.

I have loads of Megadrive games that I play on my PC using emulators and ROMS, and they work and look perfect.

You want GENS 2.14 and then you can download the roms from here

Dead easy to use. Just make a new folder in program files or whatever, then extract the downloaded ROM to that folder and put GENS in the same folder, then open GENS and click load ROM.
