Story:The Lost Vikings is a puzzle-platform video game developed by Silicon & Synapse (now Blizzard Entertainment) and published by Interplay.
The game features infinite opportunities of retries in case the player loses one of the Vikings.
In 2015, The Lost Vikings were added as a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm, allowing players to control the three Vikings as individual units, making a unique departure from the typical heroes available.
Character abilities:
All three Vikings (Erik, Baleog and Olaf) have three health points which they can lose by getting hurt by enemies or by falling from great heights, and the ability to carry and use items, mainly keys, bombs, and food (which restore health points). Each of the Vikings has a unique set of abilities:
Erik can run faster than the other two, can jump, and can bash through some walls (and enemies) with his helmet.
Baleog can kill enemies with his sword, or from a distance with his bow (and a "life-time supply of arrows"). The bow can also be used to hit switches from a distance.
Olaf can block enemies and their projectiles with his shield, and use his shield as a hang glider. Olaf's shield can also be used as a stepping stone for Erik to enable him to reach higher ground, which would not be possible without the shield.Show more

The DOS versions of The Lost Vikings, Blackthorne, and Rock n' Roll Racing used to be free games available to anyone that had a Battle.net account. Then Blizzard decided it would be a lot better if they removed those games and replaced them with emulated SNES roms that you had to pay money for. They took their oldest legacy titles and desecrated them for an extra bit of cash flow, and it is horrible that you can no longer legally obtain the DOS versions because of their extremely shortsighted greed.
Most people's easiest way of getting access to this title nowadays is through the Blizzard Collection, but there's something about the DOS version which is almost BEGGING to be added to the GOG library. I was genuinely surprised NOT to see it here.

Shrek 2 features a mixture of puzzle solving and enemy bashing. Players are able to control one of four characters at any given time -- swapping between them at will. Each character has a set of basic attack moves and a special ability. Donkey has a "Burro Blast" that can knock down large objects, Shrek can pick up and throw heavy objects, and Fiona -- in a nod to her fight scene in the first movie -- can slow down time, Matrix-style.Action
