Overview
Description

Fantasy Zone is an arcade-style shooter set across eight vibrant planets where players must destroy alien creatures and collect scattered coins. The game supports solo or two-player action, culminating each world with a massive boss battle.

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.
