A major gameplay feature is due to the fact that the player controls three different characters (although only one at any given time), and must make use of their individual abilities and work as a team to solve puzzles and progress. The goal is to guide all Vikings safely through each level. The main characters in both games are three Vikings, Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce, and Olaf the Stout. The games' music was composed by Glenn Stafford and Charles Deenen. Instead, they were handled by Beam Software. However, Blizzard was not involved in the creation of these 32-bit ports. It was released by Interplay in 1997, featuring a new super-deformed style for the characters (the original version kept the same art style as the first game) as well as voiced dialogue samples. Ī 32-bit enhanced version of The Lost Vikings II was developed for the Sega Saturn, PlayStation and PC, known in the United States as Norse By Norsewest: Return of the Lost Vikings and in Europe as Lost Vikings 2: Norse by Norsewest.
The games are considered as classics of puzzle/ platform game genre and were critically acclaimed by press. The sequel, The Lost Vikings II, was developed by Blizzard and released in 1997 by Interplay for the SNES. The first game, The Lost Vikings, was released in 1992 by publisher Interplay Entertainment for DOS, Amiga, Sega Mega Drive and SNES among others. The Lost Vikings is a side-scrolling puzzle/ platform video game series which was developed by Silicon & Synapse (later Blizzard Entertainment).
