Invaders from another galaxy have nearly destroyed our planet in their attempt to add it to their evil Empire. Led by Lord Bios, the alien horde has crushed all opposition. YOU are the last hope. You must face their assault in personal, deadly combat. Equipped with an anti-gravity device and armed with photon gun, you will seek and destroy the minions of the Empire. In your attempt to overthrow the dark Lord, you will fight the strangest and strongest creatures from around the universe. Do battle with the lizardmen, the shapeless ones, and the fierce bronze dragon. But you're not completely alone in your quest for freedom. You can upgrade your weapons system at several locations scattered throughout the lands. FORGOTTEN WORLDS, the adventure of a lifetime! Controlling The Game FORGOTTEN WORLDS on the Spectrum can be operated by a joystick or the keyboard. The player's character can maneuver in all directions by moving the joystick in the desired direction. The character can also fire the weapon(s) in a 360 degree arc, thereby maximizing the offensive capabilities. If you move the character up, down, left, or right while pressing the fire button on the joystick, this will change the direction of his aim. If you wish to keep the direction of fire at one place, release the fire button before moving the character. With experience, this will become apparent. [Keyboard Controls: Q - up A - down O - left P - right SPACE - fire Joystick: Kempston, Sinclair Each player must press FIRE to begin. Player 1 always begins first. Once player 1 has begun, Player 2 can join in by pressing FIRE on another control device.] Tips For Game Play Look for the shops hidden among the ruins. With gathered zenny coins, you can purchase valuable weapons and healing medicines to assist you. Don't get comfortable in one firing position, the aliens will be coming at you from all sides! Each major enemy has a vital vulnerable spot. You must locate this to destroy them. ----- Hints ----- Towards the end of level one are a set of barriers. Shoot them a few times, then go into the top one. When you get to the end of level god, he will not fire anything at you.
