Generations Lost is a 1994 cinematic platformer for the Sega Mega Drive by Pacific SoftScape, and the only game released by the California-based studio.

Gameplay

Generations Lost is a cinematic platformer in the vein of Flashback and Blackthorne. Monobe is able to use his powersuit’s electrical rope to swing through stages, and can acquire additional projectile weaponry and shields. Later Monobe acquires the ability to warp between areas, although the game’s length doesn’t allow extensive such of it.
