[AMSTRAD CPC] Forgotten Worlds – Longplay & Review
Xyphoe
Forgotten Worlds longplay / walkthrough and review for the Amstrad CPC!
This popular horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up from Capcom had a rotating method using a large fire-button you could twist around to change your angle of firing (a nice change from the awkward rotating joystick that Ikari Warriors, Guerrilla War, etc used) – so how will they implement this on the home computers? And generally how will the Amstrad version compare to the arcade original?
Note – shame about the strange sound distortions between levels and in the shop – I think this is just a bad dump/emulation issue as I don’t remember this happening when I played this on my real Amstrad. It may have even meant to be music that has corrupted (on the 128k disk version) perhaps? Who knows!
