The only other game I can compare it to is the Mario Bros pie game in Game & Watch Gallery 3 for Game Boy Color. It has a dynamic I’m surprised wasn’t used much in games to follow. The problem lies in the fact that every stage is very straightforward and linear. The Lost Vikings requires a level of patience beyond what you’d expect from a 16-bit era platformer. After the initial lessons are over, it's up to you to use your gained knowledge to finish each level.

The goal of the game is to maneuver two or three characters at a time through several stages of tricks and traps. Lost Vikings 2 is a slow paced experience that's part puzzle, part strategy. If you are an action-oriented gamer, or if you are short in the patience department, then you may want to pass this cart on by. Lost Vikings 2 serves to remind us that simple, low-key titles can provide just as much, if not more fun than bigger, more prominent 32- or 64-Bit games.
