The Story Behind The Lost Vikings
Console limits on the number of onscreen colors also influenced the game's color palette, with the game's artists favoring more vibrant colors to stand out on a television screen. The original concept for the title had players managing hundreds of tiny onscreen vikings with different skills to defeat enemies and conquer enemy territory. The following year, the company released versions for the Amiga CD32 and Mega Drive/Genesis.
Blizzard re-released the game for the Game Boy Advance in 2003 and in 2014, the game was added to Battle.net, emulated through DOSBox. Later in the year Interplay released versions of the game for the Amiga and MS-DOS. The Lost Vikings was initially released by Interplay for the Super NES in 1993.
How The Lost Vikings Plays
Every level is designed so that each Viking must contribute his unique skills to help the other two through to the end. The Mega Drive/Genesis version of the game offers a two-player cooperative mode in which each player simultaneously controls one Viking and is allowed to change control to the third, unused Viking at any point. In the main play area are the three playable characters (l-r): Olaf the Stout, Baleog the Fierce, and Erik the Swift.
However, the game offers unlimited continues. The Lost Vikings is a side-scrolling platform adventure where the player alternates control of the three Viking characters, guiding each of them one at a time (though control may be swapped from character to character at any point) from a designated start point to the exit. Similarly, to finish the level, all three characters must reach the exit point.
Why Players Still Load It Up
The game was initially released for the Super NES, then subsequently released for the Amiga, Amiga CD32, MS-DOS, and Mega Drive/Genesis. In the Warcraft III: The Frozen Thrones "Monolith" scenario, the names for the Dark Troll Commando hero are the same as those for the Lost Vikings: Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce and Olaf the Stout. Electronic Gaming Monthly in 1994 remarked of the Genesis version that "the music doesn't have the kick of the Super NES version (or the truly colorful graphics)", but it is generally a well done conversion of "a really good puzzle game".
Nintendo Power ranked The Lost Vikings the seventh-best SNES game of 1993. They must traverse various bizarre locations, and eventually confront and defeat Tomator, to find their way home. In the game, the player controls three separate vikings with different abilities.
