So I visited my battle.net account on a whim and what should I find but one of Blizzard's earlier games, The Lost Vikings, being given away as a free download.
I remember the Lost Vikings from 1993-94. It was something of a big deal as everyone played and talked it up a lot. I (eventually) got around to playing it and was won over the game's charm, sense of humor and baffling puzzles. I never did quite complete the game but hey - at least having the game now within easy reach will remedy such a problem.
Looking back at this game twenty years later, I'm surprised just how well it still holds up: The graphics still look great and the humor still inspires more than a few chuckles. Indeed, with hindsight it is funny to see this game from a humble company that would eventually provide the monstrous behemoth that is World of Warcraft.
Funny how things turn out, eh?
