Overview
Description

After the Sixth World War, Earth becomes a barren battlefield. The Intergalactic Council sends a lone fighter, Aerostar, to protect humanity’s effort to rebuild the planet against thriving mutants. The game delivers fast‑paced, side‑scrolling action with a variety of weapons and challenging boss encounters, capturing the classic arcade feel of early‑90s shooters.

Forgotten Worlds is a classic arcade shooter where you pilot a muscular soldier through a devastated future Earth. Using a unique rotatable roll switch, you can move freely in the air while aiming in sixteen directions, firing an unlimited‑ammo rifle and a rotating satellite for extra firepower. Collect zennies to buy upgrades, health kits, and armor from in‑stage shops, and face eight powerful bosses across five stages. The game supports solo play or cooperative two‑player action, challenging players to defeat the evil god Emperor Bios and his legion of deities.
