Fade to Black

Fade to Black is a 1995 action-adventure game developed by Delphine Software International and published by Electronic Arts, serving as the sequel to the acclaimed Flashback. Released on MS-DOS and PlayStation, the game follows Conrad B. Hart in a fully 3D environment, making it a notable step forward from its predecessor’s 2D gameplay.

Six PAL variants are currently catalogued in the database, spanning original releases, Platinum editions, EA Classics, and a Value Series Black Label re-release. Countries with releases include the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and France, with language support across English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. All variants are housed in Full Jewel PAL cases containing a single disc. Original releases carry no hologram on the case, while Platinum and budget re-releases feature a hologram. The original launch edition is accompanied by an EA No. 1 Catalogue insert as loose paperwork. Released on 1 July 1996, the game generated enough sales to warrant multiple re-releases across different EA budget label series over subsequent years. For collectors, the original no-hologram pressing is the most historically significant edition, while the EA Classics and Value Series Black Label variants, sharing serial SLES-00209#, require careful examination to distinguish from one another.
