Norse by Norse West: The Return of the Lost Vikings

Released1997
Lost Vikings 2 is a side-scrolling platform adventure in which the player alternates control of three of the five playable characters, guiding each of them one at a time from a designated start point in each level to the exit, collecting three specific items along the way. The game predetermines which characters are available in any specific level.[7] Control may be swapped from character to character at any point. In the two-player cooperative mode, each player simultaneously controls one character and is allowed to change control to the third, unused character at any point. Every level is designed such that each character must contribute his unique skills to help the other two through to the end. Similarly, to finish the level, all three characters must reach the exit point with the three items in possession.

About This Game

Norse by Norse West: The Return of the Lost Vikings picks up after the events of The Lost Vikings. Erik the Swift, Olaf the Stout, and Baleog the Fierce escaped from the alien Tomator and went on to live full Viking lives — until Tomator captures them again. A robotic guard is dispatched to deliver them to the Arena, but a system failure during the mission causes a blackout, and the three Vikings dismantle the robot piece by piece and claim its components for themselves, gaining new abilities in the process. Accidentally hurled through time again, they must fight their way through each era equipped with their new robotic gear. Along the way they pick up two companions: Fang, a werewolf, and Scorch, a dragon, both of whom join the quest to find a path back home.
