Ricochet Lost Worlds: Recharged is a singleplayer flip screen and side view paddle game in the Ricochet series.

Ricochet Lost Worlds: Recharged used to have a feature where players can download and share player-made levels all across the world for several years, however on December 7, 2017, all forums for Ricochet were shut down due to the servers not being sustainable to run anymore, assuming that the player today is interested in downloading custom made levels, there is an unofficial website where the player can choose to download said levels and install them manually.

Issues fixed

Game has graphical glitches on newer Windows versions

If the game is played on newer Windows versions, the game will constantly leave ghost effects on objects that move fast
Use DDrawCompat or dgVoodoo[1]
  1. Choose the wrapper you want to use for the game, once you've picked up a wrapper, go inside the folder of the wrapper and look for the ddraw.dll file, on DDrawCompat it should be simply within the folder itself that you downloaded, for dgVoodoo it should be inside dgVoodoo2_78\MS\x86
  2. Copy the ddraw.dll file then paste it into the folder location of the game, do not copy it into any other folders, it should be in the same location as the game executable.
  3. Open the game afterwards, the graphics should now be fixed.
