Play Forgotten Worlds (World) Online
You float through surreal alien landscapes blasting monsters in all directions, pausing mid-level to upgrade weapons before the next screen-filling boss tears you apart. Co-op turns the chaos up to 11—if you can handle the merciless arcade-style punishment.
Forgotten Worlds came out on the Sega Genesis in 1988, a Capcom port of their arcade shooter. It arrived early in the system's life, offering a taste of the company's arcade style on home hardware, with a visual and musical flair that felt distinct from many other shooters of the time.
You control a lone, jetpack-equipped warrior who can rotate and fire in any direction, moving freely across the screen to dodge enemy fire and projectiles. Your main goal is to survive through each side-scrolling stage, defeating waves of enemies and massive bosses. Two key mechanics define the action: collecting gold coins from fallen foes to spend in mid-level shops for weapon and shield upgrades, and the constant need to manage your aim and movement independently. The pace is relentless, and the difficulty is steep, demanding quick reflexes and careful resource management. It feels like a tense, chaotic ballet of destruction where every credit counts.
