Forgotten Worlds (Kixx)

Personally, I don't like this game very much. But who am I to argue with overwhelming popularity? A horizontally scrolling simultaneous two player shoot-'em-up with excellent graphics and sound is all very well. But for me, the awkward control method ruins it!

The joystick alone moves your man up, down, left and right. With the fire button pressed it then controls the direction of your firepower. Er, that's it. Still, I'm renowned for being crap at games so I imagine a game this polished would be rather attractive to the majority of blast freaks.

Frame Rate

A slick and highly accurate arcade conversion that is slightly marred by awkward controls. Still worth a second look though.
