About the game:
Flashback, released as Flashback: The Quest for Identity in the United States, is a 1992 science fiction cinematic platform game developed by Delphine Software of France and published by U.S. Gold in the United States and Europe, and Sunsoft in Japan.
Plot:
In the year 2142, amnesiac Conrad B. Hart is chased by mutants and crash-lands his hover bike in a jungle on Titan. He finds a holocube which fell from his pocket. It contains a recorded message from himself, telling him to meet his friend Ian in New Washington. He makes his way through the jungle and purchases an anti-gravity belt in order to enter New Washington via chasm.
He finds Ian being attacked by police. After he kills them, Ian uses a regenerator to restore Conrad's memories: For his "end of year thesis" he had built glasses which measure molecular density and inadvertently discovered that shapeshifting aliens called Morphs, distinguished by their high density, had mixed into the human population. The Morphs realized he was investigating and targeted him.

About the run:
Flashback is one of Oceans best games ever developed, it a true Amiga classic which still holds up very well today.
Still there are a lot of tiny mistakes I did in this run, but overall I am super happy with my time, but I am sure I can lower that by some more minutes.
I died one time on purpose to recharge my health, this turned out to be not necessary in the end, but the time lost is very small so its okay.
I really screwed up the last section of the game and even have to charge my shield again because I was afraid to die on the very last enemies (it was super close).
My DeathTower (Level 3) could also be faster in certain areas, because not all of my tricks did work out.
I am aware that there is a Glitch you can utilize to beat the game in sub 30m, but I didnt wanted to do that so I just play the game as fast as possible the normal way.
