(Remember, these are hard men, well-used to terror.) Your mission, as the purchaser of this game, is to get them home by guiding them through a series of levels comprised of platform-based puzzles and traps.Īlong the way, you have to avoid or kill the mobile enemies who apear in the form of people from various zones of time and space (into which the Vikings are beamed). Needless to say, they badly want to escape and make it back to their homes, their ginger-haired children and their unsightly wives. How would you explain the lighting system to them? And the shortage of roll-mop herrings? Imagine their consternation to find themselves beamed into a large alien spaceship owned by the aforementioned Tomator. Ed.) were three harmless Vikings, if you'll forgive the oxymoron, lying in their beds minding their own business after a hard day's slaughter. Olaf the Stout, Erik the Swift and Baleog the Absolute Pan-Head Nutcase (Fierce. It probably gave him ulcers and guilty dreams. He probably didn't like himself very much for hyperspacing his way around galaxies 'borrowing' specimens, with a view to selling them back home to the interplanetary equivalent of Whipsnade Zoo. (There are also those large breasted aliens who Captain Kirk gets lumbered with teaching the meaning of love to, but we won't go into that here.) Tomator, the intergalactic life-form trader, was probably a good alien lumbered with a bad job. Just as there are different types of people, there are doubtless many types of alien good aliens, bad aliens and aliens who would be good but for one or two problems at home that they're trying to get their heads round. If one of the helmet-heads is all loaded up, give it over to his brawny bud.Īs my mother always said, aliens are just people with more eyes. However, you can switch items between Vikings. You can also pick up and use Bombs, Keys, Flaming Arrows (for Baleog), etc., but each Viking is limited to only four items apiece. Luckily, there's plenty throughout the stages to keep you going. If you happen to lose one of the little guys along the way, you must give up and start from the beginning of the level.Įach of the Vikes has three life bubbles, and you lose them by getting hit, falling long distances, or by stumbling into other mishaps. Most of the puzzles require the skills of ALL THREE Vikings. Solving the puzzles that lead to the exits is really most of the fun, although the dialogue in this game is Standup Comic funny, too. When a Vike falls, keep him close to the walls.If you're having trouble getting across lava pits, use Baleog to shoot the stalactites.


You try to help three Viking brothers - Olaf, Eric, and Baleog - return to their quiet Nordic life, which was interrupted by the intergalactic zookeeper, Tomator. The Lost Vikings by Interplay is a one- or two-player action/adventure/puzzler that really gets your brain matter going. If they wanna get home, it's gonna be a race.Īnd help to get the Vikes back on their Nordic Track! Norse by Norse-West By a no-good, alien, outta-space rat pack.
