Anyone remember an old game called "The Lost Vikings"?

[Onyx Oblivion]

and would absolutely love a Live Arcade/Playstation Store port with online co-op?

I say this, because I just found my old Genesis and a bunch of old games for it...Sadly, I appear to have no controllers for it. Somehow. I'm so glad they did the Gunstar Heroes port with online co-op. If they did that with Lost Vikings...I'd get it in a heartbeat.

I feckin' love that game. A true gem.

Instead of the weird cycling player control system, three or four players simultaneous Co-op!

Oh god, I haven't played that game in so long.

A port would be awesome.

I remember that. Vaguely. Some friends of mine had it, but we never played it all that much... Too busy with pokemon and stuff I guess.

It did kick ass though.

Blizzard's first game. There's even references to it in WoW.

I played the GBA version.
Really good, right up until the point one of my sister's moron friends wiped my saved data I'd spent HOURS on.

It wasn't their first game. It was their first successful game.

Yep, still got it on my dusty shelf with my megadrive. Those were the days...

Is it this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Vikings]?

Because in that case it looks fucking awesome

Yes. That is most definitely it.

If you liked the lost vikings you may want to get hold of trine then it's seriously just a fancy looking lost vikings.

I never played the first, but I played the 2nd one, the 3D(ish) version, and I loved it, to see that on Live would really make my day.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Yes. That is most definitely it.

...
Anyone know where I can get a SNES version?

If you got some cash to burn. New is ridiculous. Used is great here.

Spoiler: These lost vikings?

Riding, and riding, we search across the land
The snow, and wind, has frozen hearts of man
But we ride
We ride

Many days ago we left our homes
With swords to ride into the night
Fighting side by side to destroy our foes
And leave them without life

We stop, consider the land that we travelled
Our map's at home, direction unravelled
But we ride
We ride

Many days ago we left our homes
With swords to ride into the night
Fighting side by side to destroy our foes
And leave them without life

So much time has passed since we left our land
That we've become concerned
And we'll never find the battle
That we should have fought and won

But we won't stop searching

Lost but still we ride
Search until we die

We ride
We ride

Hungry and tired the frigid plain yeilds little
We trudge on further, eating pride and snow that's brittle

We ride
We ride

We come upon a witch who takes us in
To let us share her mighty fire
She asks of us our story and we lie and say
We ride around for hire
She asks us if we'd like to have her map
And points us in some direction
But we are far too proud and strong so we keep silent
And ignore her suggestion

Lost but still we ride
Search until we die
All the fault of pride
The gods weep in the night

Lost but still we ride
Search until we die
All the fault of pride
The gods weep in the night

We ride
We ride

My PC can't even run it on minimum. Or I would try it. The demo lagged like fuck for me.

Sounds familiar, don't think I ever played it though.
