[VAR] Forgotten Worlds

[Staubhold]

Forgotten Worlds, originally titled Lost Worlds in Japan, is a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up game by Capcom.

Forgotten Worlds was first ported to various home computers in Europe by U.S. Gold in 1989. Versions were produced for the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and IBM-compatible PC.

A Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version, produced by Sega, was released in Japan on November 18, 1989, with subsequent releases in North America and the PAL region in 1990.

An emulation of the original arcade version is included in the 2005 compilation Capcom Classics Collection Vol.1 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, as well as in 2006's Capcom Classics Collection: Remixed for the PlayStation Portable.

Set in a distant future, an evil god known as Emperor Bios has destroyed most of the Earth, turning it into a desolated wasteland known as the "Dust World". Two nameless super-soldiers are created by the people to defeat Bios and the eight evil gods who serve him.

My BFF and I played numerous versions of that great co-op game!

BTW...

The Player 1 character appears in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes as a "helper character" assisting the main fighters, under the name of "Unknown Soldier".

The two Unknown Soldiers, as well as Sylphie the Shopkeeper, are playable characters in Namco x Capcom. Their theme is a remix of the first level music.

The War God boss of Forgotten Worlds appears in Guy's ending in Capcom Fighting Jam!
