tthere's<br />
trouble brewing.<br />
And indeed there is.<br />
w<br />
o<br />
These two guys are on a<br />
mission to hunt down and de-<br />
d<br />
stroy an evil villain who is plot-<br />
uting<br />
the destruction of the en-<br />
dtire<br />
universe. Between you<br />
eand<br />
him are horizontally<br />
s scrolling levels that are<br />
fpacked<br />
with all sorts of hor-<br />
lribly<br />
aggressive baddies and,<br />
y of course. a huge end of level<br />
creature.<br />

When aliens are blasted,<br />

they sometimes leave behind<br />
t<br />
blue Zenny, the local cur-<br />
o<br />
rency which can be picked up<br />
and added to the player's<br />
cash total. Occasionally a<br />
shop pops up from underground.<br />
and the two fighters<br />

can enter and spend their<br />
dash on the latest weaponry.<br />
better armour or even extra<br />
energy to heal their battle<br />
scars.<br />
Although Forgotten<br />
Worlds is a very slick program<br />
which grabs you instantly<br />
and keeps you playing, it<br />
has two annoying little niggles:<br />
in two-player mode you<br />
have unlimited credits (which<br />
means you can finish it first<br />
go. even if you do gel a pathetic<br />
score), and if you play<br />
one-player, the game is just a<br />
little too easy on the standard<br />
setting. To get a decent challenge<br />
you have to set the difficulty<br />
level on the option<br />
screen to "hard', instead of<br />
'normal'. Why not have<br />
"hard" as the "normal" level<br />
and have the "normal" level<br />
as "easy'. so rubbish players<br />
could switch to it if they get<br />
ippottipik EEEEEEKI<br />
nowhere? Still, the action<br />
isn't ruined by these annoyances,<br />
and as long as you remember<br />
to select the hard difficulty<br />
level when you play,<br />
Forgotten Worlds is a superb<br />
shoot 'em up which should,<br />
keep Megadrive massacre<br />
maniacs more than happy.<br />

A very polished shoot<br />
'em up that Offers plenty<br />
of action and some great<br />
graphics and sounds.<br />
As long as you select<br />
the 'herd' difficulty level<br />
on the Options screen,<br />
it's a demanding blaster<br />
that should keep trigger<br />
happy players very<br />
happy.
