Post and discuss great retro strategy games
Also whats the best version of this? Played it on the SNES and absolutely loved it but Im rebuilding my Genesis collection and am wondering how it holds up compared to the SNES version.
Genesis has extra levels, but whatever you do stay the fuck away from GBA.

TLV is not even remotely a strategy game.
as far as the best version, SNES has slightly better graphics and music, but the Genesis has five exclusive levels so I'd pick that version. but make sure you have a good 6 button controller as it's a headache playing without it.

Really you wouldnt consider it strategy? It requires making the most out of your vikings and using them just right. I am kinda torn on what genera it could even be placed it. I wouldnt really consider it a platformer.

i'd say puzzle platformer
maybe strategy

/problemscroller/ general?
Sadly, there aren't that many classic games of this style. I recently found out about Genesis Animaniacs, turns out it's pretty similar but not as great

make sure to play Lost Vikings 2 as well.
but yeah, I agree with the other anon, it's not a strategy game in the computer game genre sense. it's a sidscroller/platformer/action adventure.

It's a puzzle game, not a strategy game.

I started a lost vikings thread as a puzzle thread a couple years ago and everyone flipped out saying it wasnt puzzle. I guess its just lost genera.

For the life of me couldn't beat the boss in the last level (without spoilers). Should replay again.
