Description of The Lost Vikings

The 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

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

Vikings are well known for their war-like pillaging and conquering, so it might come as a surprise to find that this Viking themed game isn't about slaying your enemies but more about solving puzzles. Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce, and Olaf the Stout have been abducted from their village by aliens. The trio each has a different skill and they must work together in order to escape. Only Baleog can attack, for instance, while Erik can run and jump and Olaf can block anything, even alien laser beams, with his shield. By switching between the three characters the player must solve various puzzles and ensure all three of the Norse warriors make it home to their village.

Installation

Lost Vikings is a DOS game and so requires DOSBox to run on a modern computer. For those of you who have the original game in your collection, it is possible to use the original media, however it is quicker and easier to simply download the game from Blizzard Software, who have very generously put it as a free download on their website. Click this link to download it.

Once downloaded, all you need to do is copy the files from the zip folder to any directory on your computers hard drive. You can then start the game by clicking on the 'The Lost Vikings.exe' file inside the directory.

Configuring controls

Lost Vikings Mac

The Lost Vikings does have basic support for game controllers. However, if you have access to a copy of Xpadder, we strongly recommend using that instead. Below is a screen shot of our Xpadder profile which we created for use with our Xbox 360 controller while playing the game.

With this arrangement, the controls work like this.

A – Select menu option, Primary action (Attack, Jump or Shield, depending on Viking), Skip cutscene

B – Secondary action (different depending on Viking selected)

LB – Select previous Viking

RB – Select next Viking

Start – Pause (Pause menu also gives you the option of restarting the level)

D-Pad or Analogue stick – Move Viking, select options

Once you have Xpadder set up, you're going to want to start Lost Vikings and remove the existing joystick control bindings. Hold down the control key on your keyboard and press F1. This takes you to the remapping screen. Remove all bindings for Axis 1/2 and 3/4. For more information on how to do this, see our DOSBox tutorials here.

With the game installed and controllers configured you're all set to play. There are some visual settings you can tweak but they are entirely optional.

Tweaking visual quality

As with all DOSBox games, there are some visual quality settings you may wish to alter depending on your preferences. In the Lost Vikings folder there is a file called 'dosbox.conf'. If you open this file in a text editor you can make some changes. Find the section that begins [render] and you can add a scaler option for instance. For information on how these scalers affect graphics quality, see this page.

So for instance if you like the scanline look* you could add the following line:-

scaler=tv3x

Make sure to save the file when you are done. The next time you play the game your chosen graphical filter will be active.

*Yes, before anyone writes in, I know old DOS games didn't have scanlines, but I first played this game on the Amiga on a 15khz display that DID have scanlines and I just like how it looks.
