Raphael Gesqua who made the very atmospheric music to the game was also known as "Audiomonster" in the amiga demo scene. For more music by him check out: http://www.modarchive.com/artists/audiomonster/ - You will need a MOD player for this...such as: www.modplug.com or you can use Winamp (Although it doesn't play the files 100%correctly).

Programmers might be interested in the fact that Flashback is one of very few games that used a screen mode with a width of 256 pixels. This implied that the address of a pixel on the screen could be comfortably stored in a 16-bit register, say AX. The X-coordinate could then be manipulated through AL, and the Y-coordinate through AH. This might have contributed somewhat to Flashback's impressively fluent animations. I warned you that only programmers might be interested... :-)
A bargin bin CD-ROM version of the game was released with new cinematic sequences. This version of the game came only in a jewel case (no box).

One of the materials in the box of Flashback is a coupon for a rebate on a Gravis Gamepad and a note to "try Gravis' Ultrasound 16-bit sound card". This is ironic because, amongst Gravis Ultrasound enthusiasts, Flashback is notorious for being incompatible with the GUS. :-)

Common misconception: Flashback is technically a sequel to Out Of This World because it has similar gameplay, and was released by the same publisher. But since the storyline is completely different, it is not proper to call it a sequel.
