In 1993, Blizzard (called Silicon & Synapse these times) released its first game on Super Nintendo systems, and a little later was ported to other platforms such as Genesis, Amiga and PC DOS among others. The Lost Vikings is a mixture of platforming with puzzle elements where you manage three vikings with different abilities, and they goal in each level is to reach the exit. Collaboration between the three characters is essential in order to survive.
Although this is a very consistent port in all platforms, there are some notable changes like parallax backgrounds in console versions, different music and interface changes.
The Windows 2014 version is emulation of the PC DOS, but there are changes in the title screen and we've included as well.
