Just so there's no misunderstanding, Delphine Software was created thanks to Jean Baudlot, who convinced Paul de Senneville to set up a video game company.

Adeline Software was created 5 years later (1993).

@Gamrok @vga256 Oh dear — Flashback is one of my all-time favourite games. Fluid motion and atmospherics like nothing I’ve ever played.
