Another game format

I remember playing game “Lost Vikings” by Silicon&Synapse (who was later renamed to Blizzard).


Lost Vikings 2
Lost vikings (again) and additional creatures. Endgame scene.

Who knew that it had a sequel? It was done by Beam Software and looks less appealing to me than original. But it has cutscenes and audio in its own format, which makes it a bit more interesting. A contributor, who wishes to remain anonymous, sent me his description of this format so I was able to implement demuxer and decoder for their video and it will be committed soon (I hope). Details of this format are already here.

    A good URL to link here would be:

    It really does run nicely in DosBox 😉
    I actually played a demo back then, but never the full game because it was nowhere available for sale (it’s really ridiculous how much stuff I didn’t buy not because of the price but because simply getting it was too much effort).
