Flink, sometimes referred to as The Mis-adventures of Flink, is a 2D scrolling platform game developed by Psygnosis, reliant on the then still fairly new CD-ROM media to store large levels, highly detailed graphics and atmospheric music (with the obvious exception of the Mega Drive/Genesis version, which is a cut-down version of the game). The game is very colourful and cartoonish, and is comparable with UbiSoft's Rayman, released 2 years later. One main difference is that Flink is, while still very colourful, much darker in places.

Flink is also notable for being one of the few Amiga CD32 titles not to see a release (cut-down or otherwise) for the Amiga home computer system, on which the CD32's hardware was based. The majority of titles released for the CD32 were essentially the versions developed for Amiga home computers, taking only minor advantage of the CD-ROM medium with extra levels, CD audio, and/or FMV sequences.
