Flashback: The Quest for Identity, released just as Flashback in some countries, is a cinematic platformer developed by Delphine Software of France, a now defunct company, and published by U.S. Gold in United States and Europe, and Sunsoft in Japan. The game is listed in the Guinness World Records as the best selling French game of all time.

[edit] Story

You play an agent named Conrad B. Hart in the year 2142, who has just discovered that a group of aliens disguising themselves as humans are planning to destroy Earth. Fearing that you will be found out, you download a copy of your memory onto a holocube that you will need to retrieve later on. Upon being captured, the aliens blank out your memory and dump you on a planet from which they hope you won't escape from.

[edit] Gameplay

It is similar to that of Prince Of Persia. You must guide your hero through several different environments using precision movements and jumps to and across platforms. You are also equipped with a laser pistol with which you can use to shoot alien agents and other obstacles.
