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

...
Shit that's a lot of money!

And I'm at -250 Kr
I just preordered Bioshock 2 Collectors Edition

Like I said, the used prices are MUCH better.

Everyone remembers that game. It was both incredibly frustrating and incredibly awesome at the same time, a feat most games cannot pull off.

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

The first album was so much better than the second in my opinion, and that song was my favorite on it.

Now to the tune of "America, Fuck yeah":

"The Lost Vikings. FUCK YEAH!"

I agree and would like to direct your attention to "I Wanna Be The Guy"

Agreed. I find myself skipping everything after Laser Cannon Death Sentence whenever I listen to it.

Heh, I was just playing this the other day - picked it up a few months back. Scouring the local Hollywood Videos before they shut down their game stores found a used GBA copy for $3.99 and a gamecube GBA player to go with it for like $15. Worth every penny and then some.

I liked it it was on an emulator for the PS2 I had.

Despite wierd control as ti was on an emulator, it was good.

Dude, do not give up your Genesis or your copy of Lost Vikings! Start hitting pawnshops and Ebay for controllers. I sold my Genesis and to this day I feel the need to rip out my hair for doing such a silly thing.

 

[WorldCritic]

Heard of it, never played it though. My Genesis days were mostly spent playing Gunstar Heroes and Phantasy Star.

 

[Lady Ravenloft]

-gets misty eyed-

A classic!!! Ah, the good ole Genesis days

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

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

If you're going by that standard, their first game was "Dirty Diaper Cleanup: Extreme Challenge", marketed to a specific focus group comprised of their parents.

Well I was gonna say they used to do ports. Plenty of them too.

PSidn't they do a racing game before Lost Vikings when they still had another name?
