Flashback: The Quest for Identity

Hi everyone. I just registered here. Don't know if this resource is stil "alive" but in case it is.... I desperately need the CD version of Flashback. Actually there is a pege for the game already (http://macintoshgarden.org/games/flashback-the-quest-identity-cd-version), but the first link says "Temporarily unavailable" and the other one is dead Sad So could anyone please upload?
Thanks in advance

Well, it's rare, and exclusive as featurs higher resolution than the pc original. Google only finds some "virus-related" things, but nothing about the game, it's an old game, I need it for my collection, that's pretty much it...

Oh Ok, I was just curious about the expression "...desperately".

...Also, if you don´t find it before somewhere else,
you´re gonna have to wait a few months,
I have the original Macintosh CD, (the scan on the game´s thread is from my disc)
but I´m out of my home town and until I go back I´d be able to upload it again for everybody,
I was trying to look for it by google but I guess you´re right, I didn´t know it is a "hard to find" CD
So I´m starting to believe that I have a "rare" item, Smile
Well the first time I uploaded it, I took off like 200Mb of extra stuff that came in the CD,
Next time I´ll make sure I leave the whole disc intact and make an ISO file.
but until then...

Thanks in advance! Yeah, it is quite rare, I'm an "old-gamer" and a collectionner to make it worse, so I can't be calm when I don't have something... Yes, please upload the full cd, also, I'm not sure, but you think ISO is ok? Does the cd have redbook audio on it? (may be a stupid question, but I really have no idea) If so, cue/bin would be better! I'll be waiting!

It seems that Macintosh has the best graphics http://www.mobygames.com/game/flashback-the-quest-for-identity/screenshots .

Yes, it does have the best graphics than other versions,
but the actual game screen is kind of small (I use Basilisk)
if someone could tell me how to make the game windows larger
full basilisk screen (like A-10 CUba)
I use the 1024 x 768 windowed screen size on a 1600 x 900 VAIO Laptop

Since you are a collector, do you have anything not available here that you can upload?

That's why i prefer a real mac than the emulators. I have used a little the basilisk but it does not satisfy me because of the size of the screen and many times the music doesn't sound correctly. Most of these games look perfect on my Performa 6116 with macintosh color display.

Okay. I'm a collectioner of old games, not mac-related stuff, I don't have anything mac-related (Sorry). What's notable about mac version of this game is not the graphics, but actually the resolution (640x480), in comparison to all other versions (320x240). That's as much as I know, since I haven't played it yet (as I said it's hard to find).

I've posted Euryale's original upload at mega.co.nz, if that helps. (I know a lot of browsers choke on Mega, but it's currently the only upload site that affords me a decent speed, accepts large files, and doesn't delete them what feels like 10 minutes later.)

Thanks, Daxeria. Mega's proved good as for me.It will do, at least for now, since Euryale's stated it's not the full version. Thanks a lot.

Thanks to Daxeria for posting the game again,
I just want to clarify that the game is full with all the rendered cut-scenes.

What I took off the CD was ONLY all the promotional extra software (games, apps, etc..)
that comes with.
but next time I make a copy, I shall leave the whole CD intact with all the extra stuff for the archives.
