New Port: Flashback 2 for Mac
Another successor for today! This time of the game Flashback! We are happy to welcome Flashback 2 for Mac to the Porting Kit database! I played it for a while, and it’s quite fun. In 1992, Flashback revolutionized action gaming and gained legendary status, ranking among the 100 best video games in history. Today, Paul Cuisset, the creator of the original game, invites you to play again as Conrad B. Hart, the young agent of the GBI (Galactic Bureau of Investigation). In the 22nd century, the peace of the United Worlds extends throughout the Solar System — but this tranquility is threatened by the Morph invasion led by the fearsome General Lazarus.
About the Port:
The game is based on D3DMetal so it it only works on Apple Silicon Macs, when you at least are on Mac OS 12 Monterey or higher (will be working from Mac OS 10.15.4 and higher soon). Tested the game on my M1 Apple Silicon Macbook Pro and works nicely.
This game requires at least Porting Kit 6.7.0! While the update mechanism isn’t working properly at the moment, download the latest version from the Porting Kit website here…
