Created by Arc Developments and published by US Gold in 1989, the ZX Spectrum port of Capcom‘s side-scrolling arcade game is an excellent late-stage shooter that demonstrates the Spectrum punching well above its own weight.

Forgotten Worlds can be played by one player, or two players simultaneously, and comes in 48K and 128K versions. Cooperative play is really where the main fun is at, but the single-player game is no slouch either (and probably suffers from less slowdown).

The Spectrum port has got excellent presentation, graphics, and sound, and decent playability. The bug-fixed disk version (by “SG-Team“) is the one to find and play.
