Cruise for a Corpse
A 1930s murder-mystery aboard a yacht. Real-time character schedules, multiple suspects, and an atmosphere lifted from Agatha Christie.
Flashback
Paul Cuisset's sci-fi action-platformer, selling two million copies. Fluid rotoscoped animation, a Philip K. Dick-flavoured plot, Raphaël Gesqua's moody score. A landmark.
Flashback (Mega Drive)
Often considered the definitive version: excellent sound and visuals, and the platform on which most players first encountered Conrad B. Hart.
Flashback (SNES)
The Super Nintendo version brought Flashback to Nintendo's audience, with some graphical and audio differences from the Mega Drive original.
Flashback (DOS)

The PlayStation port of the 3D Flashback sequel, making use of the console's hardware for its time-travel and action sequences.
Moto Racer
Delphine's surprise pivot to racing. A fast, well-reviewed motorcycle racing game that sold well and spawned a franchise keeping the studio alive through the late 1990s.
Darkstone
A late-era action RPG in the Diablo mould. Developed as the studio struggled to find new directions in an increasingly competitive market.
