User:West/The Lost Vikings (SNES)

One of Blizzard's first original, and most fondly remembered titles, a puzzle-platformer where you must guide three Vikings with unique abilities to the end of the level.

Unused Text
WHERE ARE WE? KANSAS? Unused in both the final and the proto. Appears at the very start of all the text in the ROM. It seems like a placeholder for something and is similar to the banter at the start of level 26(start of the "Silly" level set) in the final.

GAME OVER While it is possible to get a Game Over by selecting "no" when prompted to "Try Again?", the game never displays it using the internal ASCII font.

Regional Differences
The copyrights were updated.

The title was changed to something appropriately silly for the Japanese release.

Title screen font is different.

The number of players is represented by "1" and "2" instead of "ONE" and "TWO".

Passwords
The vowels were restored in the Japanese version, and the numbers excised. For the most part the passwords are the same, but ones that used numerals have obviously been changed.
