Flash Point - 1989 - Arcade - Shortplay | 4K CRT Monitor Simulation
0Shortplay + Attract mode of the game Flash Point, the puzzle arcade game by Sega.
GAME INFO:
Flash Point is an extension of Sega's 1988 version of Tetris (using the same Sega rotation ruleset and Tetrimino colour scheme), however rather than being judged by how many lines are cleared, the player is tasked with removing highlighted blocks from the screen (or "flashing points").
Instead of starting with a blank playfield, the player can choose from a number of pre-determined layouts. While points are awarded in a similar manner to Tetris, the big scores come from removing the highlighted blocks. Levels have a bonus timer which rapidly counts down at the bottom of the matrix; the faster the player clears the flashing blocks, the more bonus points they earn at the end of a level. There are a total of 90 levels.
De facto Sega mascots Flicky (Flicky), Alex Kidd (Alex Kidd in Miracle World), Opa-Opa (Fantasy Zone) and Princess Kurumi (Ninja Princess) make cameos in the game, wishing the player luck just before starting a level. In addition, all of the backgrounds are recycled from Fantasy Zone.
Flash Point was later re-released in the Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol.28: Tetris Collection in its original form. Also included in this collection is a previously-unreleased Sega Mega Drive version of Flash Point—the ROM of which has since been ripped and circulates on the internet today. It is unknown whether Flash Point suffered a similar fate to Sega's Tetris - dropped from the release schedule due to a lack of valid license for home console conversions of the game.
Zemina made an unlicensed port to the MSX and Sega Master System in some unknown year, calling it Flashpoint.
GAME RECORDING INFO:
The game has been integer scaled to 4k, without bi-linear filtering, and retaining the original aspect ratio (display aspect ratio, not internal resolution). And captured using a filter that simulates the image of a CRT monitor. I also use a image of arcade machines as a bezel above the game, to create a nostalgic atmosphere.
