Forgotten Worlds (フォゴットンワールズ) is a shoot-'em-up developed by Capcom in 1988 for the arcade and ported to the Sega Mega Drive by Sega in 1989, and a Sega Master System port in Europe and Brazil in 1991. You are a team of two guys (a white guy and a black guy; one-player mode has only the white guy) trying to stop a giant blue gorilla with gold jewelry from taking over the city. You use the D-pad to move your player around and to shoot (there is an Auto Fire option that makes this unnecessary). Shooting is done through a satellite gun that spins around you to aim; rotate in the appropriate direction with and .

This is one of the few games which are known to act up when the system playing it contains a 6 button controller or if the game is played on a Sega Nomad in its default 6 button mode. The effect is that as soon as the moment the player starts, instead of normal gameplay, it immediately skips to the game over screen. There are 2 ways to alleviate this problem:

1) Remove any 6 button controllers from the system and replace them with a standard 3 button controller.

2) Hold the Mode button on the 6 button controller (or Nomad) while turning the system on.
