About this game
Flashback is a remake of Flashback: The Quest for Identity and follows the same main plot as the original with enhancements in graphics, new dialogue, plot twists, and voice acting.
In general, the gameplay may be treated as identical to the original, but it is essentially enhanced as follows: wearing the goggles to access detective mode, where enemies and obstacles are temporarily highlighted; arcade air bike riding mission is introduced; aiming system is now 360 degrees; protagonist receives the experience for his actions to increase the character's level; level provides the points to improve one of three skills such as aiming, power, and vitality; 8 upgrades for each of 6 character's abilities are scattered on the levels; Virtual Reality missions allow the protagonist to master his combat techniques and get an extra experience; certain number of Morph Eyes should be eliminated on each level to gain a skill point; hand-drawn art from the original has been redrawn as 2.5D; achievements have been added.

About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Flashback The Quest for Identity for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
