FLASHBACK: THE QUEST FOR IDENTITY OPENING SEQUENCE Conrad B. Hart is running for his life. He is being chased by thugs of the Interplanetary Security Agency (ISA). As he runs through the corridors he hears the sound of a jet bike motor. He rushes toward the sound, dodging gun blasts, finds the bike and makes a bid for freedom. Conrad jumps on the bike and makes for outer space, but the ISA are pursuing in a large hoverboat. Dodging the hoverboat's laser blasts, Conrad heads into a jungle. A near miss knocks out the jet bike, so Conrad grabs the gun and jumps free before the jet bike crashes.... Waking, Conrad grasps for the holocube and knocks it over the edge of the terrace. Now Conrad is under your control. It is up to you to find out why you are being pursued by the ISA...and save the human race! PURPOSE OF THIS WALKTHRU Instructions are given for each level. However, explicit step by step actions are not supplied. Solutions to specific problems are given, along with directions for finding vital articles which you need to progress. Note that this walkthru: 1. Assumes you are playing the game on the Easy setting. If you play the game on the Normal or Expert settings you will encounter many more enemies. Otherwise you should be able to use this walkthru as is. 2. Assumes you have read the game documentation thoroughly, and know how to perform all the necessary actions and how to avoid dying! 3. Recommends that you save at the save pillars in order to avoid replaying the same sequences more than necessary. 4. Recommends use of the FLASHBACK trainer (FBTRNS.ZIP in Gamers' Forum Action/Arcade Games Library) to maximize your shield count. LEVEL 1 Fetch the holocube that you knocked off the terrace by climbing down a few levels. Climb back up and make your way to the right. When you see the guard, go down and kill him. Go left and continue until you find and pick up the Stone. Climb up and take the credits. There is a guard below and to the right of the Stone. Be wary of the motion detector to the guard's right which opens the gate he is next to. Kill him. Take the Magnetic Cartridge. Go down to the right, drop down as far as possible and continue right. Use the ledge over the Disintegrator Zone, continue right, jumping over the first Electrified Ground. Jump up and take the elevator up to the Energy Generator. Here you should view your Holocube, charge your Magnetic Cartridge and recharge your shield if necessary. Climb up to the left and kill the guard on the left. Continue climbing up, activating the elevator using the motion sensors as needed to get to the top. Then go right and down to the wounded man. He will ask you to find his Teleport. Retrace your steps to the left until you reach the Cartridge Lock. Use the charged magnetic cartridge in the lock, then make your way to the left. Avoid the first Electrified Ground and take the elevator up. Go left and climb up to the elevator activator. Use the Stone to stop the elevator on the level you are on. Fetch the Teleport from the elevator. Return to the wounded man, and receive an ID Card in place of the Teleport. Retrace your steps, to the left again, continuing on past the elevator. Use the save pillar and then go down and open the gate using the ID Card in the card lock. Go right, then jump down catching hold of a ledge to prevent falling to your death. Jump down and kill the two guards and avoid the blaster. Go right and meet the old man. He will offer to sell you an Anti- Gravity Belt for 500 credits. Return to the elevator that took you up to the Teleport device. If the elevator is "down," take it up, go left, drop back down one level and proceed to where the elevator was. Jump down and kill the two guards. Go right, and switch off the Disintegrator Zone. Continue right. Shoot the guard (after drawing his attention away by throwing the Stone to the right) and continue right. Pick up some small change in credits and a key along the way. Shoot the guard below the energy generator. Climb up to the generator and then up to the 500 Credits. Take the credits! Retrace your steps and return to the old man. Pay him 500 Credits in exchange for the Anti-Grav belt and use the Anti-Grav belt to descend the hole into the next level. LEVEL 2 (Code: COMBEL) On arriving on level 2, make your way up to the two guards and Ian. Kill the guards and then talk to Ian. Ian will recover your memory for you. You now know that you have discovered evidence that aliens have infiltrated the human population. The ISA then kidnaped you, but not before you had taken precautions by storing your memory in the holocube. Ian tells you to must win a ticket on the Death Tower game show in order to travel to Earth. First you must go to the bar and ask for Jack. Go right and find a fused switch. Go down to the right, kill the guard and retrieve the fuse. Mend the fused switch. Use the switch and take the elevator up to New Washington. Go left and obtain a map from the man at the checkpoint. Use this map to find your way around New Washington throughout this level. Go left and activate the elevator with the switch. Go down to the subway. Take a train when it arrives. Take the subway to America and go up to the Bar. Talk to the barman, then go right and up to talk to Jack. Jack needs 1500 credits for the false papers. He suggests you go to the Employment Office. Go left and back down to the Subway. Take a train to Europa. Go up and left to the Work Center. Here you are told to go to the Admin. Centre for a Work permit. Go right and back down to the Subway. Take a train to Africa. Go up and to the left to a desk where you will be directed up to the Admin. Center. Talk to the administrators at Windows A, C and B, in that order, and they will let you see the Boss. The Boss will give you a work permit in exchange for your ID card. Return to the Work Centre at Europa, going left to the Mission Screens. Accept a mission using the Work Permit and perform the mission. Repeat performing missions until you have 1500 credits, as follows: MISSIONS ======== TAKE PARCEL FROM SPACE PORT (ASIA) TO TITAN TRAVEL (AFRICAN) Go to Asia. Go up and right. Speak to the woman at the desk and she will hand over the parcel. Go to Africa. Shoot the guard at the top of the elevator on the right. Go right to the man at the Titan Travel desk. Hand over parcel in exchange for 100 credits. CONDUCT A VIP SAFELY TO THE RESEARCH CENTRE Go to Africa. Go right and meet VIP. Go right and down to elevator. Bring it up to VIP's level and take it down again. The VIP will go with you and follow you but you will have to take side excursions to clear the route for him. Go right until the way is blocked. Leave the VIP and climb up and over to activate the gates. Continue right, climb up and jump over the bomb. Climb down and return left to pick up the VIP. Take the elevator down with the VIP. Climb up to the guard. Kill him and pick up the key. Continue to left, kill the guard and use the key in the lock. Continue left to the room with two robot laser blasters. Destroy the two robots with your gun and fetch the key from the top level. Return to the VIP, unlocking the final gate with the key. Take the VIP down to the Research Centre on the elevator and receive 300 credits. You are immediately teleported back to the Work Center. ANNIHILATE A RENEGADE CYBORG Go to the bar (America). Talk to a man at the bar and go to Restricted Area One and talk to the policeman. Return to the bar and go to the far left. Kill the guard, and talk to the man. Go back to the policeman and kill him. Fetch the key. Go back to the far left of the bar and use the key in the lock. Climb down and kill both cyborgs, earning 400 credits. You will Teleport back to the work center again. REPLACE COMPUTER BOARD WITHIN 90 SECONDS Teleport to the Computer Centre. Avoiding all the death traps and going as fast as possible make your way to the computer terminal. Run to the far right, and activate switch. Go down a level and run to the left. Go down both the elevators, then go right to the elevator shaft. Climb over ledge to activate elevator. Take the elevator down to computer room. Go right and repair terminal by taking a computer board from the first lower terminal position and using the board in the third position from the left. You will receive 600 credits and teleport back to the work center. CLEAR OUT MUTANTS FROM RESTRICTED AREA There are no real puzzles here. Explore everywhere. Be very careful. Avoid falls, be prepared to shoot a mutant at any time. Pick up the keys to unlock gates to other areas. Pick up some credits. Receive 600 credits for the job. Pick up a photo from the slot machine using your extra credits. Go to Jack and receive the forged papers in exchange for 1500 credits. Take the papers to the man at Death Tower TV show desk and enter the contest! LEVEL 3 (Code: ANTIC) The Death Tower is circular. There are eight levels; level 8 being the lowest, level 1 being the top. You must make you way around each level until you reach the elevator up to the next level. Of course, each level is fraught with enemies. Gun 'em down! When you kill the last enemy on level 1, you win the contest. You are awarded a trip to Earth. Several hours later you board the vessel that takes you to Earth. LEVEL 4 (Code: NOLAN) On arriving at the Earth space port, use the elevator on the right and go down to the man on the desk. Hand over your papers. Exit on the left via another elevator. Shoot the two guards. Take the elevator down to the exit of the space port, killing guards and robot laser guns and make your way to the taxi stand on the right. Take the taxi to the Paradise Club. To get into the club, make running jumps using the upper ledges. Break the glass at the club entrance with the gun. Go right into the club. Go down on the elevator. Go right and shoot the guard. Take the elevator up and climb up to the platform hanging by chains from the ceiling. Break the glass panel on the left by shooting at it. Jump to the left and pick up the key. Go right, shoot the guard and enter the bar. Go through the bar and use the key in the lock in front of the Disintegrator Zone. Go left and up, using the elevators, to the switch guarded by a rolling robot laser gun. This deactivates the Disintegrator Zone. Return to where the Disintegrator Zone was and take the elevator down. Jump onto the hanging ledge and wait for the elevator to arrive. Go down several floors. Climb up to the open gate on the right. Go through it and fight off a guard and two floating robot guns. Pick up the key and get out of there quickly, on the left. You can get trapped in here! Go down to the next floor and go right and operate the switch to turn off the Disintegrator Zone. Now go up to the top floor and activate the switch on the right. Go left and go down to the bottom floor. Go right and open the lock with the key. Take the elevator up. Go right and down. Go down on the elevator. Go left and up to the switch. Go right and pick up a key. Take elevator back up and open lock with key. Before going right, go back and make sure you use the save pillar in the trap door area to your right. It is tricky but by rolling in from the right you can get in to the save and recharge area. Go right, destroy a floating robot laser blaster. Continue right. Once you pass the mine you will have to run, shoot the floating robot laser blaster to open the door and roll out before the moving Disintegrator Zone kills you. (Alternatively, when you find you are being chased by the moving Disintegrator Zone, try a running jump over it, to the left, to get behind it. Once clear, continue right, destroy the floating robot laser blaster and the gate will open. Roll through the tunnel.) You will now witness aliens plotting to destroy the human population. Unfortunately, you inadvertently land in their midst, and get put in the dungeons! LEVEL 5 (Code: ARTHUR) Quick! Race out of the dungeon, before the guard kills you, and get the gun that is below, next to the save pillar. Kill the guard. Pick up the key just to the right of the save pillar. Go right, and up one level to operate the switch that opens the door on the lower level on the other side. Go down one level and open the lock with the key. Climb up until you see the moving Disintegrator Zone. Avoiding the "Zone" climb up behind it and run left and down to the guards. Avoiding an intermittent Disintegrator Zone, go left, kill the guard and pick up the Teleport Receiver and Remote Control. Once again avoiding the "Zone," climb up to the other guard, shoot him and pick up the key. Retrace your steps to the top level on the right, then throw the Teleport Receiver to the right. Activate the Teleport Remote Control. (Alternatively, quicker but riskier, perform a running jump from the top level to the right.) Use the key to open the lock to the right and down. Throw the Teleport Receiver down the chasm on the right, and activate the Teleport Remote Control. Destroy the flying robot laser blaster, and go left. Kill the Morph alien and pick up the Teleport Receiver. Go right, through the now open gate. Kill the Morph alien. Go left on the lower floor and through the gate beyond the save pillar. Moving left, avoid the moving Disintegrator Zone, and destroy the flying robot laser blaster. Climb up, then down and stand under the large Teleport device. Looks like you've been accidentally teleported to the Morph home planet! LEVEL 6 (Code: SHIRYU) Kill two Morphs. Go up and to the right and activate the switch. Go back to the left and down, and climb up to the right to the elevator. Take the elevator down. Get past the gun and go further down. Kill the Morph. Get the Stone on the floor at the far right. Place the Teleport Receiver by locked gate. Get the mechanical mouse. (This can be used to activate or and/or deactivate anything which is operated by a pressure pad. But I found no need for it.) Replace the mouse with the Stone to keep the Disintegrator Zone deactivated. Open the door using the far left activator below the gate and Teleport to gate. Go through the gate toward the man. Activate the switch above the locked gate. Shoot out the gate below the man. Activate the switch. The man will be wounded by a Morph. Collect the Atomic Charge from him and carry on to the left. Kill the Morph. Pick up the Diary and read it. Activate the elevator and take it down. Go to the right, kill the Morph, then run and jump to the ledge on your right. Take the elevator down. Kill the Morph. Go down past the colorful long-tailed and fast-moving creature. (You can kill this guy, but don't have to!) At the bottom, go left. Pick up a Stone. Continue left and up, through the upper gate. Then go down and right through the lower gate. Kill the Morph. Get the key. Stand under the green light and you will Teleport to the platform above. Return to the colorful creature. Wait for the right moment and climb up past it. Climb on up to the elevator and take it back up. Go right until you reach a locked gate. Use the key to open it. LEVEL 7 (Code: RENDER) Go right as far as you can. You will have to stop by a locked gate behind which is the entrance to a space ship. Remember this location. Return to the left and take the elevator, near the save pillar, up. Kill the Morph, then climb up on the left. Keep climbing, and then go right until you reach an elevator above a locked gate. Go up on the elevator. Don't touch the switches at the top, or you will cause the elevator to go down and you will get stuck here. Climb up, and dodging the automatic cannon (see alternative below), go left and down to the switch. Kill the Morph and operate the switch. Return to the elevator under the automatic cannon, and go down. (Alternatively, activate the switch to send the elevator down. This turns off the cannon. Continue as stated above and then return to elevator shaft. As the elevator has returned to the bottom, you have to carefully climb down the elevator shaft.) The gate at the bottom is now open. Go toward it, kill the Morph, pick up the key and open the lock. (You may have to try a different key in your inventory to unlock the gate.) Climb up to the elevator and go up on it. Climb up. _Stop!_ Take only one step past the save pillar. Watch the Disintegrator Zones carefully. You can get past them if you wait until each has gone off, then walk to the next one, wait, until you are past all three. Take the elevator down. Open the lock with the key. Throw the Teleport Receiver down the chasm, and activate the Teleport. Pick up the Teleport Receiver, kill the Morph and kill the auxiliary brain. Throw the Teleport Receiver down the chasm, and activate the Teleport. Pick up the Teleport Receiver. Go right and leave the Teleport Receiver by the locked gate next to the space ship. Go left until you can go no further except by taking the elevator down...down...down... Hope you enjoyed the ride! You are now near the planet core. Go right to the master brain. Kill two Morphs, then climb up to first platform on left and shoot the brain. Then kill another two Morphs, climb up on first platform on right and shoot the brain. Repeat this sequence until the brain is dead and no more Morphs are produced. Go right and operate the switch to bring the elevator down. Take the elevator up. Go right and down. Then go up and pick up the Exploding Mouse. Kill the Morph. Pick up the key and use the key in the lock. Take the elevator on the left down. Go right and kill the two Morphs. Now perform a running jump over the Disintegrator Zone and leave the Atomic Charge on the far right. Now operate the switch. If you want to make a dramatic exit, race back to the space ship the long way. Otherwise Teleport! Go to the far right and take the elevator up into the space ship. ENDGAME Conrad is safe, and has told his story, but he is in an uncharted galaxy far from humankind. He lays down in his cryogenic chamber expecting to be drifting in space for a very long time...
