In this game, the Vikings are again ambushed by Tomator, but the Vikings respond by mugging Tomator's minions and taking their gear, giving them new abilities. In 1997, a long-awaited sequel was finally released (initially for the SNES and later remade for the Playstation, Saturn and PC, alternately titled Norse by Norsewest: The Return of the Lost Vikings). It's an absolute joy to guide the bumbling, bickering Vikings through each stage.
In addition, the game has a quirky sense of humor of the type rarely seen in this era of video games (which were usually lucky to get any text at all). Some of the puzzles are quite devious, and the game is ruled by Trial-and-Error Gameplay. On the other side, Erik can find a key to unlock the door and allow his companions to progress. For example, one early puzzle requires Olaf to use his shield as a platform for Erik to jump from, giving him the extra height he needs to vault a locked gate.

The big draw to the series is how each character's abilities are used in unique ways and in combination with each other to allow for safe progress.
