Just beat the game, better than I thought actually
This game was pretty amazing, especially the history. Wasn't this 92-93? I had this on genesis back in the 90s but I never got out of the jungle. I use to think wow look at these graphics but then couldn't figure out what to do. Beating it now I think a lot of it had to do with the controls being more PC friendly than console friendly. A lot of the game revolves around shift manipulation and I think at the time this was a foreign concept to me. Holding down one button to do a multitude of functions was alien to a kid who is use to pressing one button to just instantly do things. So it was a curiosity, a cart that looked cool but I got nowhere in. On genesis I wasn't even fully aware what the inventory and items all did.

Beating it now, its even better than I at first thought. The pixel cutscenes are imo amazing for their time and beautifully animated. The gameplay mechanics are very well animated as well. I think this should be hailed as one of the most impressive PC games of its day. Yes doom had a great intro level and theme, but I still feel like the animation in doom is stiff compared to this, and that the guns feel a little weak. The gun in this fires very authentically and looks awesome the way the bullet casing flies out of it. Its just a really impressive game, and the way everything was animated in it.

The last level was trippy as well, I guess my only complaint is 5 levels weren't enough and that it left me wanting more out of it. Which isn't really a negative at all. After beating it I'm now interested in the Ubi remake and part 2 that's being released. Not sure about another world, looks kind of hard to me but I already watched a playthrough of it on ytube. Also an impressive game for its time.

92, made from the same chappies that made Another World, which is a sort of spiritual prequel.

This was definitely on of my favourite games on the Amiga 500.

You are right about the inventory, to this day, 31 years later, I still abysmally fail at using the force field.

Another world looks great I'd buy that on steam for a buck, or 2, or 3.
Also tried blackthorne but it feels a lot more difficult than flashback, also flashbacks hard difficulty broke me on the 2nd level. The mutant mission was just to much of a gauntlet and I could not get the shield timing right.

The thing is we don't have basic Joysticks like we used to, these days they are all over complicated.
