A classic game. Look, I know not many are going to buy a Gameboy Advanced game in 2016 but hear me out. If you’re looking at this cartridge and scrolling through the reviews right now it means you’re interested. It means you wish to rekindle the love that you once had with your GameBoy Advance device. If this is you, then you should pick this up. You shouldn’t need me to tell you. Your mind has brought you here, so it doesn’t make sense to not leave with what you came for.As for the game itself, it’s well done. A challenge for sure, but it offers you something that recent releases have yet to capture. When you achieve something in game, it feels good. It feels good in a way that doesn’t exist with many games on the market today. Even if you’re not here to rekindle love, please just pick up this game to remind yourself that gaming wasn’t always like what it is today. At one point, it was straight shooting, challenging and creative. At one point, innovation was the engine which drove video games. And here is a piece, even esoteric for its day, that you can own and play to remind yourself that games with DLC’s are the equivalent of a high schooler asking for an extension on a term paper.

The GBA once again flexes it’s vast library by expanding into another great port of the SNES classic – The Lost Vikings.True to it’s original form, this game plays as well today as it did back in the 90’s!Excellent gameplay designed around action puzzles, this side-scroller is worth a replay!

Now I have to be honest here, and tell you all that I had never even heard about this game until I started to see reviews and “Greatest gba games of all times” awards on sites like GameSpy and IGN.It’s also made by one of my all-time favorite game developers: Blizzard (of World of WarCraft, WarCraft 2 and 3 and StarCraft fame; then known as “Silicon and Synapse”) you see, this gba title is apparently the port of a snes title from way back when. (Which explains why I’ve never heard of it: I didn’t get my hands on a SNES until high school, still have it, tho.)One part platformer, and three parts puzzler, Lost vikings will have you pulling out your hair at the difficulty of the game, but it’s one of those, “Gotta try again” types of games.The Lost Vikings puts players in full control of three Vikings lifted out of their cozy Norwegian village by an alien who’s looking to add a few new humans to its collection. But these Vikings are extremely skilled, each one honing a few special techniques of his own.Erik the Swift is the fastest and the only Viking that can jump. Baelog the Fierce wields weaponry, both up close and distance. And Olaf the Stout carries around a shield that can block most projectiles, and lets him glide to safety if he holds it above his head. Players can only overcome the specific obstacles by having the Vikings work together. If even one Viking bites it during the level, players will have to restart since they can’t finish a level without all three Vikings at.

Simply a great, fun game! All three Vikings have their own talents that you must use in conjunction with one another to make it through each level. This makes you have to think just a little, but you don’t have to be Einstein either, so it allows for a lot of fun. The graphics are very nice and bright. Fun and witty game!

I remember playing this game on my Genesis years ago, and thankfully The Lost Vikings has been brought to the GBA almost seamlessly. You control a trio of vikings named Erik, Olaf, and Baleog; all of whom have been abducted by aliens and dropped into room after room after room of obstacles containing everything from enemies, traps, keys, secrets, and more. To navigate through the challenging 37 levels you must control all three vikings as a team to perform different tasks. All three vikings also feature their own unique abilities that will come in handy during the game. This feature was what attracted me to The Lost Vikings all those years ago, it was different and challenging, and it was a pretty fun game overall. The graphics are nearly identical to it’s 16 bit counterparts and doesn’t take on the GBA’s horsepower at all. The audio is average GBA fodder with a few humerous soundbytes, but the control is pretty tight though it will take time to master when you need to make quick second decisions in the game. What’s disappointing about this GBA coversion of The Lost Vikings is that there aren’t any extras or multiplayer features that would have made the game even more fun. All in all, those who enjoyed the original Lost Vikings game will get a kick out of this, but younger gamers probably won’t like it as much.

Having never played The Lost Vikings before, my first encounter with it on the GBA has proved intriguing and challenging, although often perplexing. This is a game of successive levels with new puzzles to solve on each level where you learn as you go, often learning very slowly! Information on how to play is sparsely outlined in the manual, though hints are provided in early levels of the game through the use of "?" symbols here and there. I think the game’s playability for new players would have benefited either from more "?" symbols in succeeding levels or from more detailed hints in the documentation. As it is, for new players like myself the game is a very challenging series of puzzles that will not soon wear out. Solving the puzzles requires patience and persistence but solving them does give a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment; maneuvering the Vikings is fun, and it is a game whose enjoyment will prove durable.Though be aware before purchasing that the genre classification for this game is "puzzle" and the difficulty level is, in my estimation, "hard." Even though this is a port of an old 16 bit game, on the GBA the graphics are excellent, the sound is good … and well, hey, it’s a Blizzard game! The Lost Vikings has taken over my GBA and I am delighted!

I found this game when I was searching for a “viking” type of game for my husband…..who is 6’7, Swedish and usually loves ANYTHING having to do with vikings. I had never heard of this game before …..but I saw some reviews on other sites for this game and was surprised at how highly rated it was. I bought a cartridge and my hubby didn’t care for the graphics….as he plays the PSP and Wii and cares for more realistic looking games.HOWEVER…I decided to play The Lost Vikings myself and let me tell ya….this game is NOT easy!! You are playing as 3 vikings who each have their own talents, and you have to play each level inter-changing them to make it past obstacles. For example : One viking carries a shield. He usually has to walk in front of the other vikings in case of an attack. Another viking carries a sword and a bow. That one usually has to stand BEHIND the one with the shield and shoot the attackers. The third viking is the only one with the ability to jump…and also to knock down walls. He usually picks up the keys and extra health foods if they are on higher shelves that the others cannot get to. I’ll admit, I bought this game used (without the directions) so it took me a while to figure out the controls. The frustrating thing about this game (for ME anyway) is that you need ALL 3 vikings alive to pass to the next level. If even 1 dies….you may as well quit the level and start it over again. You won’t be able to finish with just 2 vikings. The co.
