The Top 7... Precursor Games

Out of this World begat Flashback

Flashback: The Quest for Identity was Delphine Software's most successful titไle. Unless of course, you count the game that paved the way for the Flashback franchis𒉰e: Out of this World.

With nearly identical gameplay, the same silky smooth rotoscoping, and striking aesthetics, Flashback managed to milk all the important elements tha♛t made Out of this World stand out from its cartoony platforming co🧔ntemporaries.

Unfortunately, onꩵce Delphine Software introduced the third dimension to the series and deviated from Out ꦑof this World's design, the series lost its charm. Flashback's fast-paced action slowed down to a crawl in its sequel, Fade to Black, disappointing many fans.

Above: Flashback was great because its design was so much like Out of This World

Useless Facts:
- Although he got help with the music, Eric Chahi designed and developed Out of this World from on his own from the coding down to the box art.
- Both Out of this World and Flashback have identical endings with the protagonists flying into the horizon with the worlds 'THE END' flying toward the screen.
- Flashback also gives a nod to Out of this World with the use of the personal force field and the similar cinematic where Conrad gets his gun back.
- The scene where you see three female aliens bathing in Out of this World was too erotic for console versions. According to 🍎Chahi, the cracks on their bottoms were reduced by a three pixels.
