I have a weird issue when I try to play Forgotten Worlds. It boots fine, and goes through the opening scene, but then when it goes to gameplay, the screen just flashes and then says Game Over. I've tried it repeated times, I've tried blowing on the cart and reinserting it, and I've tried it on two different systems, all with the same result.
What gives? Does this game somehow require a model 1 system or something (even though the TMSS is fine)?

Dude, that's how hard the game is! Nobody's ever been able to beat it.
You are playing with a 6-button controller. Hold MODE when you first turn the system on. Let go when you see the Sega logo. Send me $$$$.

Okay, I tried that just now and it works. Thanks.
That's really weird. Usually when games are incompatible with the 6-button controller, they just have messed up controls.

Wait. THAT'S the problem? I bought this and returned because I thought it was glitched. Damn.

We should have a list of games on this site that require to be played in 3 button mode. I know Ms Pac Man is another one of them.

Golden Axe II too.
Buy stuff at the Magical Game Factory, WaterMelon's crowd funding video game development site!
Do YOU have any games you want to get rid of that haven't been reviewed on the site and needs to be beaten for the sake of this project? Send 'em to me and I'll review and beat them! I'll pay for shipping of course. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Thanks to this post I'm not returning my newly achieved Forgotten Worlds as well...
I had no idea there were issues like this!

Strange. No input registers when I forget to switch modes. Do you use a Majesco 6-button pad or an official Sega one?

Wow I'm suprised there wasn't any angry flaming on this question. I know I'll sound like a total smart ass so please dont take it that way but I thought this was common knowledge here. It seems there is more then one member here with over 1000posts didn't know this.ekkk

Hmmm glitches in Genesis / Megadrive games...now that would make a good feature to write about!

Strangly the instructions that came with my 6 button years ago does not mention that. I recall a small piece of paper added that mentions it that looked like it was added at the last minute.
