Forgotten Worlds (フォゴットンワールズ) is a shoot-'em-up developed by Capcom in 1988 for their CPS arcade system. It was ported to the Sega Mega Drive by Sega in 1989, and to the Sega Master System in 1991. The Master System version was not released in North America or Japan.

Gameplay

You are a team of two guys (a white guy and a black guy; one-player mode has only the white guy) trying to stop a giant blue gorilla with gold jewelry from taking over the city. You use the D-pad to move your player around and B to shoot (there is an Auto Fire option that makes this unnecessary). Shooting is done through a satellite gun that spins around you to aim; rotate in the appropriate direction with A and C.

This is one of the few games which are known to act up when the system playing it contains a 6 button controller or if the game is played on a Sega Nomad in its default 6 button mode. The effect is that as soon as the moment the player starts, instead of normal gameplay, it immediately skips to the game over screen. There are 2 ways to alleviate this problem:

1) Remove any 6 button controllers from the system and replace them with a standard 3 button controller. 2) Hold the Mode button on the 6 button controller (or Nomad) while turning the system on.

The Master System version had some stages removed and others combined into one; an underwater stage which did not appear in any other version is also present. It is one-player only and has the auto fire always on, with buttons 1 and 2 being used only to move the satellite clockwise and counter-clockwise.

All versions have a shop system in which the player can purchase weapons or items by spending "Zenny", blue objects that can be used for currency. Shop items are mostly identical except for a few differences.
