REminiscence is a re-implementation of the engine used in the game Flashback: The Quest for Identity made by Delphine Software and released in 1992. It is a 2D platformer with similar style and gameplay to classics like Another World or Prince of Persia.

REminicence was first released by Gregory Montoir in 2005. This program serves as a cross-platform alternative to the original executable, and requires the game data files from the original versions of Flashback (DOS, PC-CD, Amiga, or Macintosh).

The executable also supports the Amiga protracker music and SegaCD speech files. English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese languages are supported.

Installation

You will need the original files, here is the required list:

FB_TXT.FNT
GLOBAL.ICN

*.OFF
*.SPR
*.MAP
*.PAL
*.ANI
*.CT
*.MBK
*.OBJ
*.PGE
*.RP
*.TBN
*.CMD
*.POL
*CINE.*

Put all of them in the DATA directory.

If you have a version distributed by SSI, you'll have to rename some files:

logosssi.cmd -> logos.cmd
logosssi.pol -> logos.pol
