![]() Though not the best graphically, we are treated to some Mode 7 in the SNES versionĪnother criticism is that the platforming and other skill-testing trials are not too difficult. To its credit this was an early SNES title, so to expect anything more might be a little unfair. Sure, it has a nice cartoony style, but the sprites are very simplistic, rudimentary – rough around the edges, so to speak. Let me just say, before I start gushing over this game, graphically it’s not the best. As such, this review will be a reflection of what has helped it stand the tests of time. ![]() I have ripped apart some childhood favorites of mine, however, The Lost Vikings has remained near and dear to me over the years. I admit some of the glossy sheen I see with this game could be slightly skewed by my nostalgic eyes, but I do my best to be objective. So with that said, let’s dive into this highly biased assessment and see why The Lost Vikingsreigns supreme! This is a very beloved childhood title amongst the favorites of my youth. The Lost Vikings is pure fun mixed with good-natured humor and colorful worlds and creatures to stoke the flames of your imagination. They’ve done a few other things since then, that’s probably why they sound familiar. The Lost Vikings is an action/puzzle game – perhaps the first of its kind – by a modest developer known as Blizzard (Silicon & Synapse at the time). So what are three clueless vikings to do aboard an alien spaceship when all they want is to be back in their safe, warm huts nestled in the heart of their beloved village? Use teamwork to find a time portal and bust on out, of course! I think anybody would feel the same under similar circumstances. So you can imagine the surprise – dare I say, shock, experienced by these three norsemen when an evil alien ruler from the planet Crouton abducts them for the purposes of adding human specimen to his collection of alien lifeforms. It’s the kind of day where you feel pretty confident an evil alien ruler from the planet Crouton won’t abduct you for the purposes of adding human specimen to his collection of alien lifeforms. ![]() And this is exactly what viking brothers Eric the Swift, Baleog the Fierce, and Olaf the Stout decided to do on this fine day with a breezy undercurrent of whimsical music to score a picturesque setting. ![]() Perfect for hunting and general camaraderie. ![]()
