The Lost Vikings
System(s): Sega Mega Drive
Publisher: Interplay
Developer:
Sound driver: Krysalis/Shaun Hollingworth
Genre: Puzzle

















Number of players: 1-3

The Lost Vikings is a platform-puzzle game developed by Silicon & Synapse (now Blizzard Entertainment) and published by Interplay for a variety of platforms including the Sega Mega Drive.

The game follows three vikings, Eric the Swift, Olaf the Stout and Baleog the Fierce, who have been plucked out of their own timezone by the evil Tomator, who is collecting lifeforms from all over the universe. It is up to the player to guide all three vikings through various periods in time to get back to their ship. Each viking has their own set of skills which are needed to progress through the stage. The player can only control one viking at once, but can switch between them at any point and share items.

As the Sega Mega Drive version came slightly later than the others (1993 as opposed to 1992), it contains five stages not present in any other version. The music is also slightly different. The game is compatible with the 6-button gamepad and the Multi-tap, allowing for up to three players to play simultaneously.

The game was followed by The Lost Vikings 2: Norse by Norsewest which hit the Sega Saturn in 1997.
