Play The Lost Vikings on GBA Online
Swap between three Vikings—one jumps, one blocks with a shield, one stabs stuff—to solve puzzles where forgetting any of them means starting over. That crate you moved five minutes ago? Yeah, you needed Olaf’s shield behind it.
I picked up The Lost Vikings on Game Boy Advance back in 2003, a port of the old Blizzard SNES game published by VU Games. It was a different kind of puzzle platformer for the GBA, a system that had plenty of action but not many games that made you stop and think this much. You don't just run and jump; you plan.
You control three Vikings, each with a unique skill: Erik runs and jumps, Baleog attacks enemies with a sword or bow, and Olaf uses his shield to block attacks or create platforms. The goal is to guide all three to the exit in each level, which involves a lot of switching between characters to overcome obstacles. You might have Erik leap over a pit, then switch to Baleog to clear out an enemy blocking the path, then use Olaf to shield the others from falling rocks. The pacing is deliberate, almost slow, because every move needs to be considered; if one Viking gets left behind or dies, you restart the entire stage. It feels like directing a small, clumsy play where you are the writer, director, and stagehand all at once.
