The Lost Vikings is about three Vikings, Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce, and Olaf the Stout, who live in the viking ages, who get kidnapped by Tomator and are sent into the future. and have to make your way out of his ship, and on your way home. But there is a twist. If any one of the three characters die during a level, you most likely won’t be able to finish the level. If Olaf dies, Baleog and Erik might be shot by a turret, killed by some monster of some sort, dying, and not being able to finish the level properly, and ultimately, restarting the level. But you get unlimited lives, and each character has 3 hitpoints. But if you hit a laser, you die instantly. There are certain levels (Every single level) where if one dies, the other ones cannot continue. I will not delve deeper, as spoilers would appear everywhere. Anyway, the Characters. Erik, is the only character who can jump or run. Baleog has a sword and a bow with unlimited arrows. Olaf has a shield, than can be used to block any attack, as a hang glider, or a platform for Erik. This game is rated by G4 as the Fifth best Blizzard Game ever created. The Lost Vikings is in a few of Blizzard’s other games, Such as the MMORPG World of Warcraft.

I'm not kidding.
