In Blackthorne they are found in a secret snow level. In World of Warcraft the trio can be found in Udalman, and are featured more prominently in the Cataclysm and Warlords of Draenor expansions. Though The Lost Vikings was an early entry to Blizzard's portfolio, it has remained special to them, and has been featured in a number of their properties. There is no limit to the number of lives you can have, and each time you manage to kill a Viking, you'll watch a Viking funeral before beginning a new, with lightning bringing the fallen back to life to attempt the level again.
If you have managed to repeat a level more than a few times they'll comment on having a strange feeling of déjà vu. They banter between each other at the start and end of each level. What really stands out is the humor and dialogue between the characters. Baleog the Fierce is the muscle of the group, sporting a sword and a bow and arrow to take down enemies near and far. Olaf the Stout can block enemies with his shield, provide a platform for the other Vikings, and float with his shield like a hang glider. He can also run faster than the others, and use a head bashing ability. Erik the Swift is the only Viking that can jump. To solve each stage's puzzles, the Vikings must work together, utilizing their unique abilities. While making their escape from the spaceship they end up thrown through time, landing back in the stone age, and eventually making their way through different time periods. They're light-years from home, and faced with technology far beyond their bows and arrows. The only problem is they've been kidnapped by the evil alien Tomator, emperor of the Croutonians. Three Vikings are kidnapped from their homes after a long day of hunting, and have to find their way back home. The Lost Vikings captivated me as a child. The studio first focused on ports for other studios, before breaking out with their own games, Rock n' Roll Racing, and The Lost Vikings, a puzzle-platformer. Should any character run out of health points, he dies gameplay will then continue with any remaining characters, but the level becomes unwinnable, and the player will eventually have to restart the level and try again (the game offers unlimited continues).Long before Blizzard was making World of Warcraft, Diablo, or even Warcraft, it was once a company called Silicon & Synapse. The characters each have three health points which they can lose by getting hurt by enemies or by falling from great heights. Similarly, to finish the level, all three characters must reach the exit point with the three items in possession. Every level is designed such that each character must contribute his unique skills to help the other two through to the end. In the two-player cooperative mode, each player simultaneously controls one character and is allowed to change control to the third, unused character at any point. Control may be swapped from character to character at any point. The game predetermines which characters are available in any specific level. The Lost Vikings 2 is a side-scrolling platform adventure in which the player alternates control of three of the five playable characters, guiding each of them one at a time from a designated start point in each level to the exit, collecting three specific items along the way.
