Man I will live in hope that I find one or it gets reproduced again 🥲
Wow! Blast from past. Admittedly I only played this on Amiga I never knew it even had a dedicated arcade !! Next you’ll be telling me battle chess did too.
So do Forgotten Worlds ever actually come up for sale?? I’ve never had the joy of seeing one in flesh to play let alone buy.

I'm sure a nice cover top for the axun spinner to reproduce the look of the original could be made with a little creativity
rare as hen's teeth. I've seen the pcb and control panel come up on Yahoo auctions in Japan, but the price was astronomical. Thousands.

Thanks for those links very nice
The button mounted type looks a really neat solution too..
I was thinking of that kind of solution
Nice quick fit in and out again ..

Eco fighters also uses it, I think
Ok now that just makes me want one even more now! Lol damn it
I think Eco Fighters uses buttons not a spinner, although someone has done a spinner conversion.
I always wanted to play Forgotten Worlds with a spinner, have the hacked version that uses buttons on my CPS1 Multi (as well as all the other versions) I remember buying the Amiga version of FW after seeing it in 'The One' games mag, yeah not good! Megadrive (60hz) version was good though

On the later levels of Discs of Tron it uses a push-pull spinner
Forgotten Worlds / Lost Worlds is expensive. There's one currently at $1300 pending payment on the AP forum.
I played it back in the day quite a lot and once FW stopped taking money the ops would have chucked the spinners in a box and in some cases skipped them.

The Hursit repro spinners were around £200 each . £400
+£150 for a custom sega cab panel
+£30 for joysticks
+£120 for the CPS1 A board
+£600 for the darksoft CPS 1.5 multi B board (for loading playing forgotten worlds)
+£50 for the multi compatible C board
+£200 for various adapters controller adapters and add-ons for the multi
Roughly around £1550 for the repro equivalent all in?
The original is great price for $1300 if it includes the spinners!

I don't remember the game causing much of a stir back in the day. Everyone remembers Midnight Resistance a little bit more (similar-ish if not spinners)

I was lucky enough to get a couple of spinners, and Forgotten Worlds is great fun using them.
Eco Fighters uses spinners too, but it requires a rather pricey and hard to get hold of CPS2 to spinner adapter board! Thankfully (i think/hope) someone is working on doing a repro CPS2 adaptor.
There's also talk of a PC/MiSTer spinner adaptor in the works, so anyone with Taito, Capcom or any of the other spinners are in for a treat
