The prehistoric world features many tough enemies, such as blue dinosaurs, giant hedgehogs, and mucus-spitting snails. You begin on a spaceship, which acts as the perfect tutorial stage. Each world is portrayed perfectly, and they all present exciting, new challenges. The Vikings will travel through the prehistoric times, the Egyptian desert, a workshop, a spaceship, and more. The stages are very unique and represent different time periods, ranging from thousands of years ago to the future (a pretty strange way to get back home if you ask me). The Lost Vikings consists of six stages that are made up of 4-7 levels each. It is a blast figuring them out and it makes you feel great once you have accomplished something. This may sound simple, but the puzzles will get a lot harder and more involved. Luckily Olaf is equipped with his shield to fend the fireballs away from the Vikings, allowing them to pass safely.
Other times there might be something shooting fireballs (or whatever) at you that Erik and Baelog can’t get past without taking damage. Now you must bring Baelog over to defeat the enemies so Erik can safely get the key. When you bring Erik over to retrieve the key your progress is halted by an enemy that he can’t harm. For example, lets say a key is located on top of a platform that only Erik can reach by jumping. You can only control one character at a time and switch whenever you want, and if you want to succeed you must you must utilize each Viking’s abilities to the fullest. Baelog might initially seem like the best Viking since he’s the one equipped with offensive weapons, but that’s not true. All of the abilities I just mentioned are put to spectacular use and no Viking seems to overpower the other two.
The creativity involved is what makes The Lost Vikings so awesome. He can also use it as a parachute or a stool for Erik to jump off of. Olaf is also slow and has no means of attacking, but is equipped with a shield that he can use to defend against almost anything. Baelog is the warrior he is equipped with a sword and a bow and arrows but doesn’t have the athletic ability of Erik. He is also capable of running very fast and destroying most blocks that stand in the way. Erik has no means of attacking or defending but is the only Viking that can jump. The three Vikings must make it to the exit of each level together, and by doing so they must work as a team. The Lost Vikings consists of nearly forty levels filled with enough puzzles, obstacles, and enemies to prevent one Viking from being able to get home alone. Unfortunately their home is not across the street from the zoo, so the Vikings must travel through several different time periods in order to return home so they can go back to slaughtering the innocent, or eat more food (probably the latter). Unsatisfied with their animal-like roles, the Vikings decide to escape and return home. Tomator, the alien who abducted the Vikings plans to use them as attractions in his zoo. Three Vikings by the names of Erik the Red, Baelog the Swift, and Olaf the Stout were abducted one night while hunting for dinner. The Lost Vikings’ plot is just as wacky as the concept. This peculiar concept is extremely effective and makes it one of the most enjoyable and unique games for the SNES. There is still plenty of action, but The Lost Vikings is really a puzzle game. The game’s protagonists are three Vikings, but there is no hack and slash action or anything else we would expect from Vikings. In 1992 Silicon and Synapse (now known as Blizzard) developed The Lost Vikings, but it is not at all what we expected it to be. Since videogames that contain a lot of hack and slash action always seemed to be selling very well, I am very surprised that there are very few games, if any that star Vikings. They were fierce warriors that were feared by almost everyone due to their unpredictable raids and Pagan beliefs (the beliefs weren’t popular at the time in an almost entirely Christian Europe). Vikings were known for a lot of things such as farming, trading, and exploring, but the trait they are best known for was their brutality.
