I STILL remember the arrangement of the song that beings at the 7:20 marker.

Garudoh, you know this video upload is pure A-W-E-S-O-M-E-N-E-S-S, right?

^_~

[garudoh]

Going by the ratings and the view count, I wasn't so sure, but thanks for clearing that up. :P

I fucking loved this game when I was younger, definitely a personal highlight of my childhood. I would've thought more people had played this sweet title.

[LaMoncha]

Wow Thanks!!! How did you get this music?

[garudoh]

Downloaded it. You can as well, just watch the intro video on my channel.

Hey! The video is not the original version, is the CD version for PC, release in 1996.

[garudoh]

Aye, I put the original release date of the game, guess I should add the CD release date as well.

[SavageArms357]

This is the Sega CD version. The version your probably used to would be: DOS, Sega Genesis, SNES, FM Towns, and Amiga.

[whoopdeefriggindoo]

i always thought it was

[whoopdeefriggindoo]

@garudoh I have played and beaten this "sweetie title" you are speaking of - when i was a teenager at the age of 16. It came out for the 3DO and I LOVED every minute I gave to this game...i mean damn this quintessential game...i'll never forget the human like movements - this game was and still is EPIC...the 7:20 track AE spoke of is what made me google the music to this game...

great memories.... a BIG thank you for uploading this vid Garudoh

[KiiroBomber]

Don't forget the in-game music composers: Pierre-André Athané and Pascal Perino.

[vipernajem]

Thanks for the sweet childhood memories, dude. Flashback is a masterpiece. <3

[hazmat151]

now this is a true classic on here... my friend in kenya had this on megadrive and it was amazing at the time.

PS: 2:32 sounds like goldeneye even the effects.

[TheBelva85]

Hi there can you make one of "Fade to black" the 3d sequel? Do let me know!

[SavageArms357]

@reniisgod Comparing the different flashback versions is like comparing new and old cars. The people who grew up with old cars will of course prefer them, even though they handled like crap and got horrible MPG.
