French maestros, Delphine Software International had a brief but memorable run in the video game industry. Their chance of making an impression was a short one; but it ran deep.

Active chiefly in the 90’s, several of their games have been the focus of groundbreaking and innovative moments in video games. Indeed, so groundbreaking that one of their games, Another World, popularized a sub-genre that’s stylish in execution and agony to master. Then there was the cinematic platform game Flashback, which bore a similarity to Prince of Persia, both in gameplay and in its use of rotoscoped animation. They were also known for their Moto Racer series.

In their short foray into developing under the Delphine Software International (DSI) banner, the crew behind one of the greatest developers worked tirelessly, passionately, and most importantly, with this intention and philosophy that art and games need not be two separate things.

Games like Flashback, Another World, Fade to Black, and Future Wars all corroborate this, and should a whisper of a doubt form in your head, you need only play few minutes of their masterpieces to erase it.

So for this video I wanted to look at history of Delphine and the games released from it's humble beginnings and to the sad end of the company's journey.
