Controlling The Game
FORGOTTEN WORLDS can be operated by a joystick or the keyboard. The player's character can maneuver in all directions by moving the joystick in the desired direction. The character can also fire the weapon(s) in a 360 degree arc, thereby maximizing the offensive capabilities.
If you move the character up, down, left, or right while pressing the fire button on the joystick, this will change the direction of his aim. If you wish to keep the direction of fire at one place, release the fire button before moving the character. With experience, this will become apparent.
Keyboard Controls:
Q - up
A - down
O - left
P - right
SPACE - fire
Or Joystick
Each player must press FIRE to begin. Player 1 always begins first. Once player 1 has begun, Player 2 can join in by pressing FIRE on another control device.]
Tips For Game Play
Look for the shops hidden among the ruins. With gathered zenny coins, you can purchase valuable weapons and healing medicines to assist you.
Don't get comfortable in one firing position, the aliens will be coming at you from all sides!
Each major enemy has a vital vulnerable spot. You must locate this to destroy them.

"A really great shooter with lovely and very colorful graphics and satisfying sound fx, very good scrolling and imaginative enemies. One of the better ones, though the rotation of the gun makes thing quite difficult!"

"All the thrills and spills of the arcade crammed into 64K... bloody marvelous stuff. "

"It didnt have the same detailed backgrounds as the arcade version but it didnt really need it as it is a very cool horizontal shooter with nice GFX and cool looking enemies to blast - gameplay is smooth and reasonably fast and it has a cool 2 player mode as well."

"Surprisingly deep side scrolling shooter. A slow burner this one that got better the more you played it and understood the shopping system. Really loved this."
