Starcraft II was released yesterday and to most players surprise we got two games for the price of one. By accessing an arcade in the cantina of the Hyperion, players are able to play an Asteroids like shooter called "Lost Viking". In homage to the classic Blizzard SNES 1994 title The Lost Vikings.
Dear Blizzard, how are we supposed to complete one of the longest waited for titles to date, when you keep putting addicting mini-games in to keep us distracted?
So picture this, you play a mighty Viking and are flying through outer space trying to find your way home to Vikingville. All while being chased by the evil Terra-Tron "HE DOES NOT LIKE YOU!!!" Lost Viking is a top-down scrolling shooter that that reminds me of the days of 1942 (not the year the game). Your Viking ship, which is the actual Terran air ship with the same name, takes you through an adventure where you fight Protoss and Zerg enemies and end each level with a boss fight. With this awesome Easter egg only found in first 48 hours of release, it will be interesting to see what other awesome surprises Blizzard has in store for the rest of the game.
