'''''Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony''''' is a Vertical [[Bullet Hell]] [[Shoot'Em Up]] developed and released by Final Form Games. It's the first game by the company, [[Doing It for the Art|done for the art]] and funded through the developers' own savings.
The game tells the story of a man named Walter Raleigh (''Sir'' Walter Raleigh, to be exact, if we can assume that this is the same famous explorer), an Englishman who has escaped from prison when he was about to be executed for an unknown crime (the actual Sir Walter Raleigh was executed for supposedly being in the Main Plot against King James). In an attempt to clear his name and earn the pardon of the British king, he travels to Jamestown, one of the British colonies in the new world, in hopes of earning glory and fame.

The game can be purchased on [[Steam]]. An expansion, ''Gunpowder, Treason & Plot'', was released on November 10, 2011, featuring four new playable ships (including one that can [[Ditto Fighter|mimic some of the abilities of the other seven]]).
