Play Lost Vikings, The (Germany) Online

I first played The Lost Vikings on the Super Nintendo back in 1993, a game developed by Silicon & Synapse, who later became Blizzard. It stood out on the SNES not for flashy graphics or action, but for its clever, methodical approach to puzzle solving in an era full of platformers and RPGs.

You control three vikings, each with a distinct ability: Erik runs and jumps, Baleog fights with a sword and bow, and Olaf blocks attacks with his shield. The goal is to guide all three safely through each screen based level, using their skills in combination to bypass obstacles, defeat enemies, and collect keys. The pacing is deliberate, almost slow, demanding careful planning and timing. It feels like orchestrating a miniature, slightly chaotic team through one clever hazard after another.
