This includes visiting various places in time, meeting strange creatures, and working their way to a final confrontation with Tomator. After getting abducted by the Croutonian alien lord Tomator, the three Vikings set out to find their way home. The game introduces us to the Vikings in the beginning, giving a demonstration of their abilities in the opening scene. Each character has their purpose, and you’ll alternate between each one to progress in the game. You’ll play as three Vikings: Erik the Swift, Olaf the Stout, and Baleog the Fierce. At first glance, The Lost Vikings would appear to be a platforming action game, but in reality, it’s actually a puzzle game. This was how I first experienced The Lost Vikings, and to be honest, I was too young to actually “get it.” Thanks to the Blizzard Arcade Collection, I now get another chance to play it, and with my collective experience, I finally understand this game. It was at a hotel with a Super Nintendo that allowed occupants to rent games for an additional charge. My memory of The Lost Vikings is vague, but I have played the original SNES classic once before. With that in mind, let’s take a look at each of the individual games of the collection. I suppose it makes sense with the licensed tracks, but it’s still a strange look. There’s even a music player, though oddly, Rock n’ Roll Racing is completely omitted here. On top of that, there’s even behind-the-scenes videos and artwork for fans to partake in. Regardless, the fact the collection offers so much is rather impressive. Oddly enough, these only apply to the original games and not their Definitive Editions. The Blizzard Arcade Collection offers elements like save states, filters and even a rewind feature. While some games hold up better than others, this is still a great way to experience the early history of Blizzard’s work. Collecting The Lost Vikings, Rock n’ Roll Racing and Blackthorne into one package was already a welcome idea, but Blizzard went beyond to deliver not only all the original versions of each game, but a definitive version as well. The Blizzard Arcade Collection delivers a throwback to those that were there from practically the beginning, the Silicon & Synapse days.
Not exactly to their fans of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo or Overwatch, but instead to their longtime fans. During BlizzConline, Blizzard made a surprising announcement to their fans.
