I looks cool now. It’s graphics are quite unique, and so much stylized it’s timeless.

That’s the one I always think of.

I know that a few years later, 1984 or ’85, Charles Schulz and his TV animating team (I forget the guy’s name, something Melendez maybe) used rotoscoping on Snoopy in FLASHBEAGLE.

The graphics are really rotoscoped. It was Eric Chahi’s solo project. He worked on it for a very long time, mostly alone, without a dev group. There’s a ‘making of’ video on Youtube, he tells about the whole development, and you can see the original videos that got rotoscoped.

The game is punishingly hard, but very satisfying. The cruelest aspect of the game is that you can miss things you have to do, reach a checkpoint, get a code so you think you are on the right track, but you can’t progress.

After this, Eric Chahi went on to work on Flashback and Heart of Darkness, all three games are classics.

There is a sequel on Sega CD, Heart of the Alien. It has nothing to do with the original dev, and is much lower quality and overall much worse game.

Great game, good episode.
