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.

Gameplay
is for jumping, 
is for physical attacks while 
uses the powersuit's glove to operate devices or release an eletrical 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.
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 eletrical rope.
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.
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.
Glitches
- It's possible to pass through walls and doors by swinging through them.
Trivia
- 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.
- The game seems to mix elements from Flashback and the C64 classic "Sacred Armor of Antiriad"
- This was Pacific SoftScape's only game.
Passwords
- AGES
- DUTY
- HOPE
Version differences
