'''''Generations Lost''''' is a 1994 action game for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] by [[Pacific SoftScape]] and [[Time Warner Interactive]]. The title screen indicates a copyright of 1993 as well as 1994; however, whether or not this is a port of something or ties into something from 1993 is unknown.

'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] sci-fi platform game developed by [[Pacific SoftScape]] and published by [[Time Warner Interactive]] in November 1994. Created by the same team which previously made ''[[X-Men]]'', the game is an action-focused cinematic platformer in the vein of ''[[Flashback]]'', and was the only title ever produced by small software studio.

This was the only game developed by Pacific SoftScape.

==Story==
 +
{{quote|How can you arrive where you started, and yet know the place for the first time? That is the enigma of Monobe, of the blood of Keptan, bold lone adventurer of ''Generations Lost''. Your exploring will take you through many intricate levels, strung across the six sectors of a troubled world. What you possess are odd clues and strange powers that you must grow to understand. What you seek is the truth. ''Generations Lost''. It's a quest for the identity not just of one, but of all. A strategy adventure enfolded in a riddle. And a gaming experience that will intrigue you... thrill you... and reward you like no other.|''US box''|ref={{fileref|GenerationsLost MD US Box.jpg}}}}
 +
A young man named Monobe is trying to learn about the origins and destiny of his people. He is told by his tribal elder of the stories of old and given a set of technologically sophisticated armor and an arm-mounted gauntlet that projects a strange energy. He leaves his people behind and wanders through jungles and temple areas in search of answers.
  
 
==Gameplay==
 
==Gameplay==
−
The game seems to mix elements from ''[[Flashback]]'' and the Commodore 64 classic "Sacred Armor of Antiriad".
+
The game combines the methodical, puzzle-based gameplay of cinematic platformers such as ''[[Flashback]]'' with the faster pace and combat emphasis of action platformers such as ''[[X-Men]]''. The player takes on the role of Monobe, a young man who is searching for answers about the past of his people. Monobe is equipped with an arm-mounted device called an "E-Rad" and what is believed to be magic armor.
  
−
The game's option screen is well hidden on the low contrast teleporter screen right after the title screen, push {{right}} and {{start}} to access it. {{C}} is for jumping, {{B}} is for physical attacks while {{A}} uses the powersuit's glove to operate devices or release an electrical rope which can be used for climbing, descending or even as a projectile. Crouching and thereafter pushing {{left}} or {{right}} can be used for rolling.
+
Monobe moves with {{left}} and {{right}}. He crouches with {{down}} and stays crouched until he stands up with {{up}}. While crouching, he can roll with {{left}} and {{right}}, which is sometimes necessary to fit through tight spaces. He jumps with {{C}} and jumps off platforms with {{down}}+{{C}}. He punches with {{B}}, which can be done while crouching or jumping.
  
−
There are golden nodes throughout the game that activate special abilities. These include the power to swing on ropes as seen in ''[[Spiderman]]'' by pushing and holding {{C}} again in mid-air and a temporary length boost for the electrical rope. There's a glitch which makes it possible to pass through walls and doors by swinging through them.
+
Monobe uses the energy ability of his gauntlet with {{A}}. At the start of the game, this shoots an "E-Rad" blast projectile, which can be used to destroy enemies. The E-Rad can also be used to generate an electric rope with {{up}}+{{A}} or {{down}}+{{A}} to climb up or down platforms. Using an energy ability expends the energy meter in the top-right corner of the screen. The meter quickly recovers, but trying to use an energy ability while the meter is low can result in no ability or a weakened version of the ability being performed instead. Throughout the levels, Monobe uncovers vaults that give him additional capabilities for his gauntlet and armor, which can be enabled through the inventory screen (accessed by holding {{Start}}). He opens vaults or doors pressing {{A}} while holding the D-Pad toward them. Monobe continues to have use of the energy abilities of his gauntlet when a secondary item is selected.
  
−
Progress is recorded through checkpoints and passwords. Health is restored by standing on healing platforms. Special items such as homing projectiles, energy shields etc. can be found hidden throughout the stages behind heavy steel doors.
+
Monobe's armor can sustain multiple hits from enemies and hazards (including water, which shorts out his suit). Its status is depicted as a circle in the top-left of the screen. It is initially green but changes to yellow, orange, and red as it degrades. Levitating platforms found in the levels can restore his armor. Monobe loses a life when his armor fails, restarting at the beginning of the level or at a checkpoint. The game ends if he loses all of his lives. There is a password system for continuing.
  
−
Later on you gain the ability to warp between areas, making the game pseudo-nonlinear, although the game's short length doesn't allow to make extensive use of it.

Generations Lost is a Sega Mega Drive sci-fi platform game developed by Pacific SoftScape and published by Time Warner Interactive in November 1994. Created by the same team which previously made X-Men, the game is an action-focused cinematic platformer in the vein of Flashback, and was the only title ever produced by small software studio.

Story

“ How can you arrive where you started, and yet know the place for the first time? That is the enigma of Monobe, of the blood of Keptan, bold lone adventurer of Generations Lost. Your exploring will take you through many intricate levels, strung across the six sectors of a troubled world. What you possess are odd clues and strange powers that you must grow to understand. What you seek is the truth. Generations Lost. It's a quest for the identity not just of one, but of all. A strategy adventure enfolded in a riddle. And a gaming experience that will intrigue you... thrill you... and reward you like no other. „

— US box[5]


A young man named Monobe is trying to learn about the origins and destiny of his people. He is told by his tribal elder of the stories of old and given a set of technologically sophisticated armor and an arm-mounted gauntlet that projects a strange energy. He leaves his people behind and wanders through jungles and temple areas in search of answers.

Gameplay

The game combines the methodical, puzzle-based gameplay of cinematic platformers such as Flashback with the faster pace and combat emphasis of action platformers such as X-Men. The player takes on the role of Monobe, a young man who is searching for answers about the past of his people. Monobe is equipped with an arm-mounted device called an "E-Rad" and what is believed to be magic armor.

Monobe moves with Left and Right. He crouches with Down and stays crouched until he stands up with Up. While crouching, he can roll with Left and Right, which is sometimes necessary to fit through tight spaces. He jumps with C and jumps off platforms with Down+C. He punches with B, which can be done while crouching or jumping.

Monobe uses the energy ability of his gauntlet with A. At the start of the game, this shoots an "E-Rad" blast projectile, which can be used to destroy enemies. The E-Rad can also be used to generate an electric rope with Up+A or Down+A to climb up or down platforms. Using an energy ability expends the energy meter in the top-right corner of the screen. The meter quickly recovers, but trying to use an energy ability while the meter is low can result in no ability or a weakened version of the ability being performed instead. Throughout the levels, Monobe uncovers vaults that give him additional capabilities for his gauntlet and armor, which can be enabled through the inventory screen (accessed by holding  START ). He opens vaults or doors pressing A while holding the D-Pad toward them. Monobe continues to have use of the energy abilities of his gauntlet when a secondary item is selected.

Monobe's armor can sustain multiple hits from enemies and hazards (including water, which shorts out his suit). Its status is depicted as a circle in the top-left of the screen. It is initially green but changes to yellow, orange, and red as it degrades. Levitating platforms found in the levels can restore his armor. Monobe loses a life when his armor fails, restarting at the beginning of the level or at a checkpoint. The game ends if he loses all of his lives. There is a password system for continuing.
