👓 Lonster's Review:
This game is total chaos in the best way. The control scheme felt weird at first, but once mastered—it’s butter. The design screams 80s Capcom: detailed sprites, huge bosses, and killer tunes. Two-player mode makes it unforgettable.
🌟 Legacy:
Forgotten Worlds helped define Capcom’s shooter style and influenced future multidirectional shooters. The CPS-1 system became the base of many legendary arcade games.
✨ Cultural Impact:
The game’s art, voice lines, and control scheme gained cult status. It paved the way for more experimental arcade controls and unique character designs.
💭 Lonster's Final Thoughts:
Forgotten Worlds is one of those hidden gems that retro lovers NEED to try. It’s wild, weird, and unforgettable once you dive in. Capcom magic all the way!
