There seems to be a lot of confusion here... Flashback is out both for the PC
and Genesis.

>From what I've played, here are my conclusions:

The animation is the smoothest I've ever seen in an arcade/adventure game. The
graphics are just as good. The music is ok.
The game overall has about 6 levels, and they're all extremelly hard. The copy
protection is very anoying, too.

Well, I hope that helped
