I love how you explain everything with "It was the 90s" XD

Another gem from my childhood, along with Super Adventure Island II.

God I remember playing this game as a kid. My best friend and I dressed up as Vikings for Halloween because of this epic game!

I found this amongst some others, at a garage sale yesterday for $1! In the original box! Best part of collecting

Saw the game at a retro store and remembered this video. loving it. thanks.

Fuckin' classic game. True definition of a gem!

Cool review of a worthy gem. I loved this one years ago, and recently (as in a few weeks ago) rediscovered this game and started playing through it again for old time's sake.

i love their cameo in WoW, they are in uldman. If you're horde you can kill them. Eric the Swift (red) drops a formula for Swiftness potion that increases your speed. Awesome video as always! keep up the good work!!

Old video or not, on the note of old Blizzard games, Rock n' Roll racing is an amazing 16-bit gem released on both the SNES and Genesis.

Summing up this review in one phrase: "... It was the 90's." :P Hahaha. Great review! Lost Vikings looks like a lot of fun. I'll definitely be picking this one up when I can. :)

One of the best games of the 90s. Lost vikings 2 is also incredible good, even the SNES version.

now this is how the fine art of video game reviews should be, good to see new content from you :)

Dear God... I remember this game. It's one of the greatest things EVER!

i had this game on PC... was the first game that I played on PC actually, and I LOVED it.

Norse by Norsewest on the Saturn was one of my favourites back in the day. We really need a new Lost Vikings.

loved this game as a kid, thanks for this review. Hopefully Blizzard will bring this title back as an arcade version for the PC and for consoles

Oh man, the Last Vikings. What an amazing game. It's a shame more people don't know about it.

This game kicked my ass when I was a kid

a true sign of a good review and just videos in general, i can watch th 16 bit gems i've already seen just for entertainment. such a breath of fresh air to have classic game reviews that are hosted by someone who doesnt worship the ground the AVGN shits on...i am a fan of AVGN, wouldnt go as far as to say hes amazing or ground breakin like many of his creepy youngbuck fans would. i love positivity, i love classic games, i love nostalgia, the CotG site has all of this. thank you guys...

Great to see the history and some info on Blizzard and other games. Keep up the good work.

ClanOfTheGrayWolf There are some games you should try out: -Metal Warriors (SNES) -Phantom 2040 (SNES) -Out of This World (SNES) -BlackThorne (SNES) -Contra: Hard Corps (Mega Drive) -Front Mission: Gun Hazard (SNES)

Great review. Really informative, entertaining and with a bit of humour thrown in. Nicely done. I might hafta check this game out.

The Lost Vikings is an awesome game!! i first played it on the GBA but now have it on the SNES... i love it

Loved this game, they should make it into a movie! XD

The Lost Vikings was also on DOS

Cool to see these guys in Heroes of the Storm, had no idea Blizzard made console games before Warcraft

The Lost Vikings have been mentioned several times on Starcraft 2 "Eric, Baelog, Olaf! Come in! *pause* Must've gotten lost again!"

Roo, you are THE BEST! More people should watch your videos! Could you imagine making a 16-Bit Gem of Lufia? I'm so confused about the different versions and names in Japan, America and Europe (Germany for instance). There's this new version for the DS and the intro made me just more confused! Well, keep it up! I LOVE your videos!

actually the redhaired guy is the best when it comes to exploring surviving alone

I loved this game when I was little!

just the beginning of the video made me give a like

By a then little known company called GOOGLE!!! OK, that was brilliant!

I think that any answer for anything that was associated with the 90s era, should always be "It was the nineties.."

So many reviewers like Kwing and others give this game a hard time and frankly its excellent one of my favorite puzzlers ever

One of the few games where I played both the PC and the console versions for the second one, since the graphics and cutscenes are totally different.

11:17 Hey Denver the Last Dinosaur (which is 80's not 90's). This was a great review.

@SoldierZ3R0 You are, of course, right. I'm not sure what I was thinking there, but thanks for the correction.

i not only payed this game as a kid... i still have this game! love the space ship stages! :D

0:52 to 0:59 is the best part of this review.

Interplay could do no wrong in the 90s. Descent Lost Vikings Loaded Fallout

Yes, you can also play this 3 player, which is amazing.

Your voice reminds me of Alton brown, intelligent and informing. I like it.

05:05 Denver the last dinosaur reference?... Awesome. :)

I remember having this on my Amiga 500+ !

I love the Lost Vikings games. The puzzles are fun and challenging. I actually like the second game a tad more. It's got better music and the characters have cooler weapons. Not to mention the awesome werewolf and dragon that you can play as.

awesome i remember this game so well ^^' got to love my viking ancestors and their time travel... >_> what u don't belive they time traveled?

When are you going to upload more videos like this? I forgot I was sub'd already. I miss 16-Bit gems.

Also in world of warcraft, you can find the 3 lost vikings as a boss in Uldaman dungeon.

02:33 Ready for info! 02:46 understood everything 02:55 getting confused. 03:00 D: I IZ CONFUSELD!!!

A part you didn't mention in your review is how these Vikings made an appearance in World Of Warcraft.

I still play this game, on my iPad!

Great reviews, Great info, Great sense of humour, great production. One problem... Sorry but I don't know how you can talk about blizzard in so much depth and not mention Starcraft!!! Errrrr... Yes I know I just love Starcraft so much lol!!! Srry I just kept waiting for any mention of SC, and it never came :( LOL Anyways.... I Rofl'd so hard at 2:06 - 2:30 Good Job :)

o_o Skrull! Call the Fant-oh wait, forgot, Reed Richards is too much of a bastard now, alright call Nextwave!

You just earned a sub btw, great vid!

This is great because I have the Amiga version but it crashes every time on the first screen, so I never really got to see what the game was like (and yes I was too lazy to look up a longplay or walkthrough).

OH MY FUCKING GOD BATTLE CHESS THAT SHIT WAS MY CHILDHOOD

Blizzard owned Davidson, the company behind the edutainment series Math Blasters? That part I did not know. Thanks for the trivia.

Please make more videos I love this show

My Dads name is Olav. But in Icelandic (old Norwegian) V and F are swiched or the same(Can't remember). But my dad is no Viking. And some thing else i notised: The lost vikings have helmets with horns on them which vikings didn't use. Thats just a little detail though. :)

I think your lucky that you're at the stage of still having no random haters :)

Very good game. Part 2 was ok to, but they messed up alot. And rock and roll was a true gem. we still play it now and then. It stays fun on the snes

I'd never even heard of this game before. Oh the shame. :(

oh 2010 what a magical time when snes title

I never got into this game. It's a good game for sure though. Nice video :D

@OverTimeeeee Great comment. said as respectfully as possible. and I agree.

are scorch and fang in this one or did they come in in LV2 and 3?

Bill and Ted and that dinosaur thing seen both well before the 90s. Once again the 90s gets blamed for what the 80s did.

Favorite SNES games besides Mario. Super fun!

This game later then re-created in the game called "Trine" ,:P

I'm suprised you didnt mention their Cameo in the WOW.

I love you Roo.

@ClanOfTheGrayWolf Bill & Ted's theme realy ? XDDDD that was a epic ending

Trine of the 90s

This seems to be different from the lost vikings that I play. Is it a sequel to this?

I’ve played the genesis all the way through, it has more levels than the snes and I was Abel to restart the levels if one of my Vikings die recommended game for the genesis

@randomM4ge OH MY GOD THANK YOU!

Im surprised he never reviewed Lost Vikings 2....yet hopefully

11:20 what is the movie on the left sides name

Shotgun goodness.

@jdubb0021 A game that pretty much outright copies Lost Vikings is "Ed, Edd, and Eddy: Jawbreakers!" on GBA. The style is nice and the gameplay is exactly like Lost vikings, pretty much. You might want to give that one a try

Vikings are nuts...

Is the second game ever gonna be given a review?

Reminds me of Trine.

so what games are we talking about when were not talking about retro or New games?

And Rock 'n Roll racing

@SMRPGFAN101 I think the reason it gets so much hate was because it was "dumbed" down version of an RPG for the insinuated "stupid Americans" While I don't like the limited freedom of movement, I used to own this game (had I known it would have become a collectible I wouldn't have sold it to a used games store) It is an entertaining story and cast of characters and a nice change of music too.

The 90's uhuuu! /o/

Flew under the radar? Maybe as a port of a PC game. This games is very well known on the pc world.

Is there a review of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest planned? I saw the box in the background. I own it and love it. I also see why it gets so much hate. Must be the price I got it for. $4.00 for a great game is awesome.

Rock that shit out Roo!!!!

The 90s :'-)

lol @ 'Schrodinger's Viking'

7:44 Homestar Runner joke.

@randomM4ge ...for doing your own thing, i can tell that the games and things you talk about you have actually played in your youth and not just something you seen became popular online and did 30 minutes of wiki research to make a video and gain views because your trashing whatever the flavor of the week is online, i cant stand how fake so many people/reviewers are online, emulating the AVGNs potty mouth anti happyness style of reviews...i really do think yo guys are one of the best nerd sites

...frickin badlands...

How to play SNES (Super Nintendo) games on your iPad: 1. Your iPad must be jailbroken. 2. Download "Snes9x EX" from cydia (you can get it for free from xSellize repo). 3. Download "Safari Download Manager" from cydia (you can get it for free from xSellize repo). 4. Open Safari on your iPad, go to coolrom.com, and download the rom file you want. 5. Open Snes9x, load the game (private/var/mobile/media/downloads) and play! You can even play with a Wiimote...

Is it just me or does this seem similar to Trine?

Hmm... Carth does look a bit confused.

how?PLEASE TELL ME!!

would much rather have the 90s vs the 80s.....oh god
