There are two articles about this game, namely Flashback: The Quest for Identity and Flashback (computer game)...They need to be merged and one needs to be deleted. S Sepp 14:05, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC)
I have done large-scale copyediting. I have not added or removed any content. EDIT: I also removed stub status. S Sepp 21:57, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)
I don't think the external link to mobygames should be present. It is a commercial website which is not NPOV, and does not add much to the article. I have read http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/When_should_I_link_externally and have decided to remove the link. S Sepp 21:09, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
Is there a reason why game details are presented in a table rather than a game infobox? --jet57 ( u∴ t) 10:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC) 09:52, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
On the Reminescence site there seems to be no reference to Nintendo DS nor PSP ports, where does that information come from? -- GozzoMan 13:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I do believe there was a RISC-OS version of this game released, can anyone please confirm this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.147.19.128 ( talk • contribs) 07:12, 31 August 2006
I'll volunteer to add a section about Flashback Legends - with links from Delphine and Adeline pages - but will need someone to improve the language and edit that section, since I know next to nothing about Wiki editing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.105.170.105 ( talk • contribs) 14:38, January 6, 2007 (UTC)
Is the inspiration of the storyline ever mentioned anywhere? It seems like a nice merger of Total Recall and They Live. 115.64.93.18 ( talk) 04:39, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Image:Flashback menu Amiga.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hi,
I used to work at Delphine Software when we produced Flashback. The animation technique for this one, if I remember well was not rotoscoping but Motion Capture. Rotoscoping, a frame by frame animation technique was created by Disney for their cartoons and used on another Delphine title: Another World. On Flashback, we have used a MoCap system we have bought in Italy. It was brand new at this time, and so expensive. I hope this detail will be corrected in this very precise article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.162.28.36 ( talk) 13:14, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
I'm reinstating File:Flashback HD anonymous 2013 image Gameblog.jpg ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs), which was removed as part of an edit with no summary. Its inclusion is valid encyclopedic content within this article. -- Trevj ( talk) 05:58, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
little encyclopedic valueisn't the same as no encyclopedic value. It seems valid to me. Obviously the screenshot itself isn't notable, but it seems worthy of note in this article. Are there any concerns other than NFCC#5? -- Trevj ( talk) 14:36, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
Czar ( talk · contribs) renamed this to the 1992 game and then created one for the 2013 HD remake ( Flashback 2013 video game). However, as I understand it, it is just an HD improved game with little else being done to change it, particularly since the same team is developing it. As such, there's little else to say on the gameplay, plot, and development, and thus we typically do not spin out HD remakes until they are shown to be notable. As such, I propose merging that back into here, and if so, moving this back to Flashback (video game). -- MASEM ( t) 22:48, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
