DESCRIPTION

Fresh from winning the village hunting contest, the mighty Vikings Olaf the Stout, Baelog the Fierce, and Eric the Swift wallow in their hard-fought victory. Little do they realize their heroics have caught the attention of the vile and despicable intergalactic zookeeper, Tomator. Hovering above our heroes' abode, Tomator teleports Olaf and company aboard his spaceship. Thanks to a transporter malfunction, the Vikings materialize in the main hall of the zookeeper's craft rather than in his specimen laboratory. Speeding through the galaxy towards Tomator's home planet, the three Vikings are truly lost in space. Their only hope is to find their way, using various hunting skills, through time and space back to Earth.

Each Viking has different abilities and weapons, and you must strategically guide all three of them to the end of each stage in order to progress through the game. Once Viking alone cannot finish any of the levels; they must cooperate. You can alternate between the Vikings, or you and a friend can work together. As you play the game you will find helpful items such as shields, bombs, keys, flaming arrows, gravity boots, and food. Areas to explore include Preshistoria, Egypt, and Wacky World. There are 37 levels in all. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide

“Am I the only one that wishes Blizzard would resurrect this title? High def, next gen puzzle game along the lines of Maw. Blizzards ticket to the world of consoles right here.”

“Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but didn't they remake this on the PSP?”

“ Game Boy Advance I think...”

“@TheArtofBalance Yeah, was pretty sure the game was developed by blizzard...I checked out The Lost Vikings 2 and it does in fact say blizzard on it. Was Blizzard originally called Silicon & Synapse and changed names or did Blizzard purchase the property?”

“@tekchip You are definitely not alone. Besides the two TLV games, the Vikings do make cameo appearances in other Blizzard games. For instance you'll meet in Eric, Baelog, and Olaf in WoW. We still need another, proper TLV game.”

“It's got Vikings! How can you go wrong with vikin....oh wait....Too Human......THAT's how you could go wrong with Vikings. ”

“I'd settle for something as simple as some updated graphics and music with game play intact. But I'm sure if Blizzard put their minds to it they could bang out in short order an amazing full re-imagining of the game in 3D. Think Metroid Prime meets castle crashers with the same online co-op as the later. Challenge modes that focus on each individual characters traits. Think sonic style for Eric, some sort of king of the hill/ladder arena system with Baelog and may be either an eating contest(all you quaf) or some sort of defense based game with Olaf. I think it'd make for some amazing DLC and a damn good time.”

“hmm, kind of like the HD treatment they're giving Serious Sam and the TMNT titles. or should I say title. ”

“@wastelander75: I don't like how they gone for realism in Serious Sam HD :(
But I'd love to see HD remake of the Vikings (look at Trine! or Bionic Commando Rearmed)”
