Forsaken 64 is a 3D six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) shooter released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998. Set in a dystopian future where Earth has been abandoned, you play as a scavenger piloting a hoverbike through labyrinthine, zero-gravity tunnels. Known for its intense, fast-paced combat and advanced dynamic lighting, the game challenges you to navigate tight corridors, dodge automated defenses, and battle rival scavengers in a fully 3D environment.
How to Play
Your objective is to navigate each facility, destroy key targets or gather loot, and eliminate enemy scavengers and security drones. Because you are in zero-gravity, you can move and look in any direction.
Default controls for the Nintendo 64: Use the Control Stick to pitch and turn. The C-Buttons handle your forward/backward thrust and strafing. Press A to fire your primary weapon and B for secondary weapons like missiles. The Z trigger is typically used for rolling. In the browser, the Control Stick is generally mapped to the arrow keys, C-Buttons to I/J/K/L, A/B to X/C, and Z to the Z key.
Tips
- Master strafing: Moving in straight lines will get you destroyed quickly. Constantly strafe in circles around enemies using the C-Buttons while keeping your aim on them with the Control Stick.
- Manage secondary weapons: Missiles and mines are highly effective but scarce. Save them for tougher drones or rival scavengers rather than wasting them on basic turrets.
- Watch your orientation: It is easy to get disoriented in the 360-degree tunnels. If you lose your bearings, look for light sources or distinctive architecture to re-orient yourself, and rely on your radar to locate threats.
