Not a major discount, but think best price so far (only on steam 2 months)? It's a classic oldie.
I asked Microids if they had plans for Future Wars, Operation Stealth and Cruise for a Corpse, since some were also Cuisset games, but they had no plans (yet).
Also tweeted mister Cuisset himself on twitter, but he doesn't seem to be very active.
Never knew he was also behind https://store.steampowered.com/app/322970/Subject_13/ although very mixed reviews.

Ahh the memories...of how I sucked.
Never had a console so I could never get into it long enough to get stuck in

Future Wars is one of my favourites point and click games EVER. Also, the story could make an incredible Sci Fi movie.

Same, underrated game, and just loved the intro. (Roland-FM seems to be better as many of those old adventure games).

"Funny fact", The pirated version in circulation was badly cracked (back then there was also a crack program called Rawcopy that sometimes would break a game) at the part where you had to take a pill to become invisible to get past the guards but that wouldn't work, but that happens near the end of the game, and not really showed why.

And the almost thrill when a Future Wars came to steam to find out it wasn't the same. :/

I played these games on my Amiga - what wonderful times back then. I hope they put these classics all on PC.

The intro was intriguing as hell. And the music is great. I still have to give a playthrough to the rare CD-DOS version that is around.

I used to play it on the non-cracked version. But lost the codes, so was trying and error with the colors. Ended remembering most of them by heart.

Yes, CD seems to have to music throughout the whole game.

Picking 2 right colors out of a multitude, was a lot of trial and error. ;)

Just a warning if you are not an english user: the italian translation is ABSOLUTE crap. It doesn't make any sense, they clearly used an automatic tool but the result is soo poor that Google Translate could do much better, it's just a bunch of random words put together with no sense. I know by reading the steam community hub that the french translation is embarassing too.

The sad thing is, you can't change the language of the game to english if not by changing the language of your OS to english as well, because those devs thought hardcoding the language change to the OS was a good idea. Even if you change the language via Steam the game will always be in the same language of your OS (if support, if not it's english).

I purchased it and refunded it immediately after 10 minutes, if they will fix this issue by allowing the language change or providing a fully functional italian translation I'll get the game again, otherwise I won't support this release.

Thanks for the warning, weird they done that, must say i also don't like the filter but atleast you can turn that off.

I had Flashback on SNES, loved the game.
But I don't see myself paying to have it on Steam, to be really honest with you.
Since it's just a port, I'll just use the ROM if I ever wanna play again.

Yep, I'd rather emulate the real thing
