The Lost Vikings is a puzzle platformer about three Vikings snatched from home by an alien collector. You switch between them to get all three to each exit: Erik runs and jumps, Baleog fights with sword and bow, and Olaf blocks attacks and glides with his shield.

Silicon & Synapse, the studio that became Blizzard, made it in 1993. This copy is Blizzard's 2014 free re-release.
