The lost Vikings need your help to get back home!
It's just another cool day of Nordic seafaring and pillaging when Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce and Olaf the Stout are suddenly sucked into an alien spaceship. And only you can help them find their way home. But each mysterious door you help them through throws them into different eras in time - and smack into new enemies!
FEATURES:
- 1 or 2 player action
- Hours of arcade fun with hundreds of puzzles to solve
- Different worlds to explore including Prehistoria, Egypt, The Great Factory, and Wacky World
- Over 35 rip-roaring levels to enjoy
- A jammin' musical score that'll make you want to get up and "move"
- Control the different skills of all 3 vikings to advance to the next level
- The three distinct Viking personalities come alive as they talk to each other in humorous captions
- Automatic screen saver to prevent static images from burning into your television screen
Will Baleog conquer Elmo the Dinosaur in Prehistoria? Will Olaf shield himself from the berserker mummies in the Great Pyramids of Egypt? And can Erik outrun the maniacal ripsaw in the Great Factory? Hurry! Only you can get these vanished Vikes out of the grasp of their alien captors and home through the chaotic arcade action!

This is a game that should be on the Virtual Console already!

I own the Genesis version which I think has more levels. I agree with Corbie this does need to be on the Virtual Console.
Interplay is listed as the publisher but doesn't Blizzard own the rights now?

Blizzard has always owned the rights, and since they recently merged with Activision (Who are supporting VC) I really hope this will show up.

i like this one, but i think the sequel is superior actually, BUT both need to be on the VC, in truth I want practically every game blizzard did for the snes on the vc....they were all SO good. Blizzard has expressed interest in returning to their console roots with a few projects ( obviously they will never completely go back to consoles for monetary reasons, and its not like I think they should) but I think its a good idea. Lets hear it for maybe lost vikings three? or maybe even a new blackthorne game?

I'm considering purchasing The Lost Vikings for the SNES, it looks very good and interesting.

One major VC candidate, this game kicks ass, I still have the PC and GBA version lying around in my room. And there was nice a sequel too that I still have a CD-ROM off.

So many hours spent with this game back in the day. I'd love to see a Lost Vikings 3 for WiiWare/XBLA/PSN.

It might just be me, but Erik the Swift looks a little bit like Yosemite Sam from Looney Tunes [not profile wise, but character sprite wise]. Maybe it's his eyes and beard?
I got the SNES original and manual today on the 11th of March, and so far it's great! =)
The music sounds well-composed.
It's also quite catchy (I've still got the Modern Era theme stuck in my head). 
This game's got such creative and well-thoughtout puzzles.
It's also challenging, some. YAY, challenge!!! 
Also, hooray for ultra-humorous dialogue, lolinator.
