I used to love this game as a kid. I passed it with the "nintendo power" magazine, which is what I used when I couldn't pass a game. "flashback" was another one of my all time favorite snes games.
@redxmg333 If you don't know what you're doing and just kinda feel your way through the puzzles it shouldn't take more than an hour. The game has many auto-saves, a novel feature for the time.
Ohhhh okay... woww.. I didn't know you had to shoot the light off hanging from the chain in order to free our pal! Perfect thank you sir and what an epic game! This brings back memories. I used to have the DOS version of this game on the old school huge ass floppy disk! Hahaha my oh my how times have changed.
The dude won't come and give me a hand up the hatch!! WTF! Is it bugged or what? I've tried over and over, shootin aliens forever and still no rescue from my pal! Anybody else having this problem?
@GreatAmericanHero206 If you can see your alien buddy in the air ducts in the previous room that means he's still alive. In the grate room you have to go all the way to the right wall to trigger him to open the room.
The dude won't come and give me a hand up the hatch!! WTF! Is it bugged or what? I've tried over and over, shootin aliens forever and still no rescue from my pal! Anybody else having this problem?
This is one of my all time favorite SNES games. It's a hard bastard until you find out what you need to do in each part. Nice run by the way, that took skill.
They don't make crazy creative games like this anymore. companies still have great ideas but they are too afraid of a flop.. too much worrying about money and too little on creativity
This game is one of the best games ever, the sequel is ruined everything but as chahi said, is not canon so is like an not official sequel, i considerit a fan made fucked up sequel of very bad taste.
wtf so you fly away with your gay friend on a dragon who will moleste you at the end . does anyone know how you got on that planet in the first place or who are you who is your friend and where are you going
@babyoilnhand flashback is a complete different game a has nthing to do with this, there was a little confusion but they are different and flashback is no a sequel or a prequel
Damn, nice work there! I tried playing this when I was probably 5, and I never even got as far as being captured. I just got a really good emulator for my vista so it was great getting to remember things from childhood.
I always thought it was too short; still, a great game though for what it is. I LOVE the freaking pwnage charged up blue shots from the guns! Kind of like Sabin's Aura Beam from FF3/6.
wow brings back memories i can remember beating this game back in the 90's when i was 12. messed up ending then, messed up ending now. (broken legs on an alien planet) lose-lose situation.
Lester is such a weak guy. He's having such a hard time crawling, running, swimming, and just about anything. If it were not for that gun, he would have been dead long ago.
And what the HELL was with that ending. I saw it a long time ago, but now it just seems really screwed up...Dude never makes it home or something. And his legs're broken.
I always kinda liked the ending... like, being carried by the alien and riding an alien pterodactyl into the sunset. "WE'RE FREE!!!" (Well, there's no Sun, but still)
The music for the ending on the PC version is very interesting; gives the ending a different, almost romantic feel.
Of course, then that blasted sequel ruined everything.
The sequel not only killed Lester, but denied the player any hope of him returning home at all, thus...making the game really pointless for some. Still, you did this way better than i ever could.
The first time I got to the "coliseum" stage I was like 'what the F is this?" Sooooo weird. Still not really sure what you need to od, press all the buttons until the flashing one appears then press it to eject?
It's been years since I've played this game, only to find out I made it to the very last sequence and was unable to figure out what to do... arrrgh! A very fun game!
Same thing happened to me, I played the game when it first come out, so of course no internet, and I got stuck too at the end, so I actually called the game tip hotline lol. The dude on the other end guided me on how to finish the game.
If you mean the 2nd room after landing I'm actually standing far enough to the left that fake lasers coming in from the left are preventing the real lasers from being shot (since only 3 enemy lasers can be on screen at once). If you take any steps further the left fake lasers stop and you can get shot for real from the guys on the right.
im stuck on the part where the alien dude pulls you up at the dead end. he wont come for me ! i fought of guards for like five minutes til i ran out of ammo and i stood under the hatch but he never came. i've tried like 10 times...;_;
i remember when i was little thinkin that guy who caught ya was ur mate and he just switched for some reason haha and i was like ''ahhh, thats why he was in prison, he's fukken mental!! fat prick!!'' haha
was this game made by the same guys who did the vintage prince of persia right? because the acting of the figure looks exactly the same, especially the jumping :)
"was this game made by the same guys who did the vintage prince of persia right? because the acting of the figure looks exactly the same, especially the jumping :)"
Wow, what a game. For some reason I have never heard of this game until a few days ago. After about 10 arduous hours of gameplay, I beat it. I swear I must of died about 30 times over and over in certain spots. Some of the puzzles I couldnt figure out so I view your vid as a cheat.
why was this game soooo hard. i played prince of persia, so i thought i'd give this a try cause they looked sort of the same, but noooo, this game is INSANELY difficult. (btw, when i play games, i usually know nothing about it except from pictures and what people say about it so i'm pretty foggy on the gameplay itself). god damn, first part itself took 8 deaths cause damn leeches, really stressful game, never beat it, and never want to play it again. but it was a memorable experience :D
You need to break the enemy shield while having one up of your own (otherwise he'll just shoot at you). Then you wait for 2 or 3 bombs to roll through to break the floor on the next screen.
i just completed this today. it took me 4 days of pain and stress from dying on the same bit one million times over and having to hear the same music sequence again again. all done and i feel a weight has lifted from my shoulders. but was brilliant
this game was really good im suprised i am playing it again i played it like in 2001 i didn't knew about it till then so i was like omg the game is so clear and the visuals im suprised it had to load that is why i like it at least they put a lot of hard work into it it is similar to oddworld but human and big looking cavemen but thats why i like it eric chache had a very good imagination i wish i could get in contact with him i hope he isn't to old because i want him to make number 3 :)
I remember reading about this in nintendo power and if I remember the article right they really didn't understand the game either... I was around 9 or 10 when this game came out... my mom got it for me as a surprise but she was pissed when I kept asking her what I needed to do... there were no instructions no hints nothing... you just land into the water and poof you start the game....
I played this game for the first time, and I do have to say although very short. I was quite entertaining. For those that don't know the back story. This guy is a Doctor who was working on a particle accelerator. Once he activated it, it sent him to another world (or out of this world lol) And well yeah. :)
i just bought this game for $10, lol. i don't care about the haters...thats what they do, is hate, great game still one of the best cuz its so weird and random
*restating comment* im not trying to hate on the game, i just dislike it. its my own opinion and if u dont like it, well too bad. its just n opinion. i do have to give props tho, because it had great graphics for its time, and once you get the hang of it, its pretty fun.
This game made no freaking sense to me when I was a kid, and now watching it again, it still makes no freaking sense to me. Totally no back story. Pretty easy game though. Long as you learn from your mistakes, check out the sequel, still no back story, still confusing.
This game is so damn hard for a 1st time player... i dont get how can one find out what to do without reading a manual or a walkthrough (or your video :P).
BTW, how are we supposed do find out which buttons to press in that vehicle, in the arena? Original game manual i suppose..?
I must say I find it impressive that they actually tried to make a game with this much visual depth and perspectives all the way back in 1991.
