Forbidden Forest is a game designed by Paul Norman, published by Cosmi Corporation in 1983 for the Commodore 64 and Atari 8-bit computers.

The aim is to move through a forest setting while eliminating various monsters, including giant spiders, bees, mutated frogs, dragons,[3] wizards and snakes, with the final enemy being the Demogorgon.

[1] The game has four levels of difficulty[3] (Innocent, Trooper, Daredevil and Crazy) which determine the number and speed of the monsters.

Paul rented a vehicle and drove the 30 miles to apply for an advertised position with a game he had created for the VIC-20.

This was billed as "OmniDimension 4D", as the game is a third-person shooter[10] that allows the archer to move (and shoot) in and out of the foreground, with scenery changing from day to night in order to represent time passing.

[13] This is a 3D adventure in which the aim is to explore an environment while searching for coins, collecting power-ups and facing recreations of villains from the first game.
