Overview
Description

Strategic ground‑movement lets you dodge enemy fire, while warp gates hidden behind some bosses open secret routes and lead to the final showdown. Master the rhythm of enemy patterns, manage your limited‑time upgrades, and clear each stage to progress to the next challenging arena.

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.
