An excerpt from the video game review portion of Nickelodeon's Total Panic covering Forgotten Worlds on the Sega Genesis with host Greg Lee providing the voiceover.

Memory Lane I do remember seeing this on TV sometime in late 1989.

Very enthusiastic host...

Hot tip: If you haven't checked this out via the Capcom Stadium collection, do so. As it's finally a home version with twin-stick control which makes a ton of difference.

I didn't know that, thank you, that'd make it much more playable! I had it for my Speccy BITD on some US Gold compilation or other and loved it and I think I had it for the Mega Drive for a bit too (I maybe rented it for a weekend). I can't remember ever playing it in an arcade though.

There was a PS2 Capcom collection which also featured twin-stick controls for it IIRC, though obviously the more recent collection will appeal to more folks.

Well that's a revelation, what a difference it makes to the game Moot point, cos I sold it, but do you know if it had twin stick support on the XBLA version? I never really dug deep enough into it when I had my 360

Never even knew it was on the 360 (though according to Wikipedia the same PS2 collection was on the original XBox, and did support twin stick controls), so unfortunately I'm no help there, heh.

Capcom Classics Collection Vol 1 on OG XBOX and PS2 had Forgotten Worlds with twin stick control.

Capcom Classics Collection Remixed on PSP also had Forgotten Worlds.

I'm not aware of an XBLA / Xbox 360 version though.

Ah, yeah, I thought for some reason it was in Capcom Arcade Cabinet on the 360 too. Shows how much attention I pay to things

I've always enjoyed F-W on the Megadrive and the rotational play lends itself well to more tactile play.

It's quite a decent port too.

Flying speed!
