Amiga Format gave away a coverdisk containing almost all of level 1 of 
Flashback. After spending a week completing it, it was perfectly clear 
that I had to own this game.

My dad eventually purchased the ECS version. I've never played the AGA 
version, but it seems some of the cut sequences were much longer and 
more detailed.

Unfortunately, attempting to play the ECS version on an AGA machine 
results in the audio and video getting out of sync. (Apparently it's 
timed according to how fast the graphics can be drawn, so on a more 
powerful machine, the graphics draws faster and gets ahead of the 
music.) Bit of a pity. Oh, and it doesn't run on my Amiga with its 
updated ROM either...

That was a damned fine game. I adored the graphics of the opening level, 
although many of the other levels were much less graphically 
interesting. The final level was just awesome.

I don't suppose you even have the game any more, but where did you get 
stuck?
