Overview
Description

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.

In a post‑nuclear world, survivors use the God System to rebuild Earth, but a mutant entity named N hijacks the system, creating mythic guardians that threaten humanity. Players control Yukiwo, an artificial human with perfect dexterity, piloting a high‑tech jet to battle the guardians and restore the planet. The game blends fast‑paced shooter action with sci‑fi storytelling, featuring intense arcade‑style combat, futuristic weaponry, and a narrative of redemption amidst the ruins of a devastated Earth.
