retrorussell Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Just had some fuzzy memories of a game I played for the Amiga in the early 90s. It wasn't Flashback but it kind of felt like it-- side action game with I think screen by screen action (ala Pitfall). It was perhaps a futuristic human city with tall aliens. You had an awkward-looking kick attack. The aliens could grab you with one hand and choke you. I couldn't seem to break out of their grip and I died. Does this ring any bells? I am pretty sure this came out before Flashback. Aliens didn't choke you in Flashback and I distinctly remember them doing that in this game. Thanks in advance if anyone has anything!

Daedalus2097 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Yeah, sounds very like Another World to me. A very atmospheric game, and the precursor to Flashback from the same developers, so in some ways has a similar fee.l. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorussell Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Sorry, I should have mentioned it's not Another World/Out Of This World. Would have been right around the same time though. I do appreciate the feedback however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prison looks interesting btw, have never played it before... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one seems to have a playthrough video on this but I was able to see enough to know that's it. Mystery solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbThumb Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Glad to help ? And from the manual: ”Rapidly moving the joystick from right to left will relase you from a strangle hold” I did not remember that part, I checked the on line manual just now, but I did remember the awkward looking kick. ? That partially gave it away for me Edited June 26, 2021 by NumbThumb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
