The Lost Vikings
DOS - 1993
The Lost Vikings by Interplay is a one- or two-player action/adventure/puzzler that really gets your brain matter going. 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. Lost Vikings is a side-scrolling platformer with puzzle elements and released early in the 90s for various platforms. Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce and Olaf the Stout are the three main characters of the game. They are three vikings who need to be guided to safety in each level.

Description of The Lost Vikings
Read Full ReviewThe Lost Vikings is one of the most charming and unique puzzle games you'll ever come across, despite some console-style quirks.
Three stalwart Vikings are accidentally sucked into an alien spaceship during one of their pillaging voyages... and find themselves in unknown land. It is up to you, of course, to guide them home. Gameplay in The Lost Vikings is best described as puzzle-based platform, similar to Lemmings or more recently The Humans: the goal in each level is to get all three Vikings to the exit.
To do that requires co-ordinating and timing the use of the Vikings' unique skills. Eric can jump, run and bash through walls with his tough helmet. Olaf has a shield which can block attacks, function as an air glider or as a step to stand on. Baleog can shoot things with his arrows or kill things with his sword. He can also flip switches from afar by shooting them with an arrow. You will have to use the three Vikings as a team, if you hope to get past the increasingly difficult levels and puzzles, switching back and forth between them as necessary.
Needless to say, each new level is more difficult than the last, and timing as well as reflexes (i.e. quickly switching between Vikings) become critical to success. Fortunately, help comes in various ways that keep frustration down to a manageable level. Hint buttons strategically placed throughout the game aid you through tough spots, especially in later levels. The Vikings have a 'health bar' which can be regenerated by eating food found on the level, and can sustain some damage from aliens' attack. This allows for multiple solutions to some puzzles; for example, you can run Erik past the shooting aliens if you can think of no way to get him past them (and Baleog and Olaf are stuck somewhere), hoping that he won't die before making it through. There is of course the 'optimal' way to finish each level without lowering any Viking's health, but the possibility of finishing it in different ways is a welcome feature that any puzzle beginner will appreciate.
As icing on the cake, there are many different, diverse worlds to explore, ranging from Prehistoria, to Egypt, The Great Factory, Wacky World and more. The Vikings come alive as they talk, bicker, and fight each other in humorous cartoon captions between levels. The only bad thing I can think of about this underrated classic is that the lack of in-game save splots. Some levels are very long, so when you get back to them, you may via password, you may have to backtrack a great deal. Other than that, the game's flawless gameplay and great graphics will keep puzzle lovers entertained for hours. Two thumbs up!
Note: Anyone who likes this game should definitely check out its superior sequel, Lost Vikings II: Norse by Norsewest, which Interplay is selling as part of the excellent 15th Anniversary Anthology

For those who may be dissuaded to download the manual because it is in French, good news: it is in English.

Super puzzle game. Gets progressively harder, until it seems impossible to win, but keep going, and you'll get such a sense of satisfaction after winning it.
This game was so good, I got Lost Vikings 2, and regretted it. I used the cheat on Lost Vikings 2, and still couldn't finish it!

@kid,
I operate on Windows 7 too, mate. Create a folder on a drive with the dos games. Then download and install 'DOSBOX'
Use the commands:
MOUNT F F:DOSGAMES
(if you've created your folder DOSGAMES on F drive.
F:
CD THELOSTVIKINGS
(the folder name inside DOSGAMES must be THELOSTVIKINGS
SETUP
then play

Since this is a DOS game you will need DOSbox to run it.

The Lost Vikings Review
The Lost Vikings is a puzzle and platform game in 2D that appeared first in 1992; more than 20 years later, Blizzard Entertainment has decided to distribute it completely for free.
In The Lost Vikings you control three different vikings, each of them with their own special abilities. Your mission is to escape the clutches of a mysterious alien race that has kidnapped you and your clan, and then go back home.
Thanks to the different skills that the three main characters have, you can face all the challenges in each level. One of your vikings, for instance, can attack with the sword and the bow; while the other can run and jump.
It's important to have in mind that you can't control the three characters at the same time, so you have to alternate them, and use them by combining their abilities.
The Lost Vikings was an excellent puzzle and platform game when it was first released, and it still is now that it is free. Besides, the emulation through DosBox, which is incorporated in the file, is almost perfect.
