THE LOST VIKINGS TRANSCRIPTS by Rick Furr April 12, 1994 with additions and corrections by Col. G. L. Sicherman, June 16, 1995 THE VIKINGS' STORY It was a day that the members of the Viking village looked forward to every year. On this day everyone in the village celebrated the fall harvest with contests of bravery and skill throughout the afternoon and a grand feast at dusk. The most anticipated event of the day was the hunt. In this competition, the best huntsmen from the village venture into the wilderness, to see who could catch the most game for the evening's feast. By noon, all the participants had arrived at the starting point of the hunt, except for three Vikings who lived just outside the village. Since their tardiness was nothing new, the decision was made to start the hunt. without them. Upon hearing the horn, indicating the beginning of the competition, Olaf the Stout and his two buddies, Baleog the Fierce and Eric the Swift, simply rushed into the forest to prevent the others from having too great of a head start. Meanwhile, the infamous intergalactic zookeeper, Tomator, piloted his space craft to Earth through a fiery vortex that appeared high above the fjords of the Baltic Sea. Tomator was sure that he could find adequate specimens for his zoo on this tiny planet. He commanded his ship to begin its descent as he made preparations to go on a hunt of his own. As Olaf the Stout, Baleog the Fierce and Eric the Swift walked home from the feast they were still bragging over their triumphs in the hunt. When each brother had finished claiming that he was a better hunter than the other two, they retired to their cottages, oblivious to the strange flying object that had appeared directly over their village. Tomator brought his craft closer to the ground, trying to locate the three specimens that he had previously chosen. He had noticed them earlier, when they appeared to be the victors of some primitive ritual of skill and strength. After a few minutes, Tomator's computer located the selected humans and began to teleport his unsuspecting captives aboard his ship. Eric, the swiftest of the Vikings, was awakened suddenly to find himself suspended above his bed and being pulled upward. Despite his efforts to resist, he was drawn through the top of his hut and into the night sky. Next, Olaf the Stout and Baleog the Fierce experienced the same fate as they too were pulled from their beds, toward the strange metallic object in the sky. With the acquisition complete, Tomator took his craft out of orbit. Due to a short circuit during the teleportation process, the Vikings materialized in the corridors of Tomator's ship rather than in his specimen room. Now the Vikings only hope to return home in the use of their skills and the strange vortices that can carry them through time and space. Your story begins with three Lost Vikings aboard Tomator's ship, and only with your help and expertise can they find their way back home. You must guide the Lost Vikings through the complex maze of Tomator's space craft. Use Eric's speed, Baleog's weaponry and Olaf's defensive abilities to help return these poor lost souls to their village. NAME: Erik the Swift AGE: 19 HEIGHT: 5' 8" WEIGHT: 160 lbs. SPECIALTY: Scouting, Speeding EQUIPMENT: Running Shoes, A Strong Head OCCUPATION: Mercenary, Track Coach, Stuntman, Pizza Delivery HOBBIES: Sprinting, Rock Climbing FAVORITE AUTHORS: Dr. Seuss, Friedrich Nietzsche FAVORITE MOVIES: The Running Man, Running Scared, Run Silent, Run Deep, Logan's Run, Running on Empty, Nuns on the Run, Running Brave, Eric the Viking FAVORITE BAND: Rush FAVORITE MEAL: Fast Food AILMENTS: Athlete's Foot, Frequent Headaches FAVORITE PETS: Cheetahs, Jaguars, Falcons DESIRED BIRTHDAY PRESENT: A Football Helmet FAVORITE HOLIDAY: Groundhog Day FAVORITE QUOTE: "It is better to run and jump away from enemies than it is to let them smash you into little pieces." COMMENTS: The tactical genius and self-proclaimed leader of the party. Eric is the swiftest and most agile of the Vikings which makes him an indispensable part of any expedition. His wit and resourcefulness are often key to resolving difficult situations. However, he has a short attention span and gets easily agitated by sitting in the same place too long. In fact, his patience is often times too thin to tolerate his two brothers. Despite these shortcomings, he proves to be a valuable companion on any adventure. STRENGTHS: Eric is the swiftest Viking. He can outrun any enemy and leap high into the air. He also has a head of stone which he can use to bash open walls. WEAKNESSES: Erik has no defensive capabilities, which leaves him very vulnerable if he goes out scouting by himself. His speed can also be a liability at times if you are not careful. NAME: Baleog the Fierce AGE: 25 HEIGHT: 6' 0" WEIGHT: 220 lbs. SPECIALTY: Combat, Chopping, Slicing, and Dicing. EQUIPMENT: Bow, Arrows, Swords, Attitude OCCUPATION: Mercenary, Corporate Raider HOBBIES: Body Building, Knife Throwing, Bowling FAVORITE DRINK: Fruit Punch PREFERRED VEGETABLE: Squash GOALS: World Domination, Bowling League Champion FAVORITE MOVIES: Sparticus, Rambo II, Conan the Barbarian, Pumping Iron, The Terminator FAVORITE EXCLAMATION: Yo! FAVORITE VACATION SPOT: Iceland FAVORITE VOWEL: A FAVORITE HOLIDAY: Labor Day FAVORITE BAND: Aerosmith FAVORITE QUOTE: "Enter the mill and you will come out floury and baked" - unknown Danish Baker PRIZED POSSESSIONS: Sword shaped letter opener, Long Underwear COMMENTS: Baleog's enormous ego is tolerable only in light of the martial skill he provides to the expedition. When he's not accusing his brothers of being lazy or weak, Baleog can often be found sharpening his sword and contemplating his strategy for world conquest. Nonetheless, despite his sometimes less than pleasant company, Baleog is a fierce foe to any that stand in a party's way. STRENGTHS: Baleog can attack with his sword and shoot arrows. He can also use arrows to activate switches that are a long distance away. WEAKNESSES: He has not yet mastered the art of defense. Therefore he usually hides behind Olaf's shield during battles with formidable foes. NAME: Olaf the Stout AGE: 23 HEIGHT: 6' 2" WEIGHT: 320 lbs. SPECIALTY: Defense, Aeronautics, Comedic Relief EQUIPMENT: Shield, Belly, A Silly Laugh OCCUPATION: Mercenary, Winchell's Poster Boy HOBBIES: Para-Sailing, Bungee Jumping FAVORITE FOOD: Meatloaf, Sprinkled Doughnuts ULTIMATE FANTASY: To be a Sumo wrestler FAVORITE INSTRUMENT: Tuba FAVORITE MOVIES: Fat Man and Little Boy, Little Big Man, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Breakfast Club, The Naked Lunch, Lunch Wagon, Dinner at Eight, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, My Dinner with Andre FAVORITE RELATIVE: Uncle Beorn FAVORITE HOLIDAY: Thanksgiving Day FAVORITE BOOKS: ABC-123, Green Eggs and Ham FAVORITE QUOTE: "Life is just a big banana. Be careful not to slip on the peel and all will turn out fine." - Uncle Beorn FAMILY: Married with two children FAVORITE TOY: Yellow Rubber Duck named Elvis COMMENTS: This jovial Viking, with his hardy constitution and steadfast resolve, can be counted on in any situation. His appetite for adventure is rivaled only by his passion for pastries. Unfortunately, he is often seized by unprovoked laughing fits, making extended travel with him somewhat tiresome. His hulking presence is, however, greatly appreciated in the heart of battle. STRENGTHS: He can use his shield to block enemies and their shots. Can also hold shield above his head and float long distances, which gives him great maneuverability. WEAKNESSES: Has to wait for Baleog in combat situations and his shield can not always protect him and the other Vikings from certain foes that have jumping capabilities of their own. Eric: My name is Eric the Swift. I can run like the wind and leap tall huts in a single bound. It is time for me, Baleog, and Olaf to go hunting. Wife: Have a nice day, honey. Olaf: I am Olaf the Stout. I can block anything with my shield. Baleog: I am Baleog the Fierce. I am the toughest Viking in the land. No one can defeat me. Eric: Another successful day of hunting.

Olaf: Don't be so hard on the player, Baleog. Human beings are very sensitive. 2 Eric: Well, if at first you don't succeed... Baleog: Be happy you have another chance? Olaf: Baleog, that was profound. 3 Olaf: We're back where we started! We've been given another chance! Baleog: More monsters to fight! Eric: More treasures to find! Olaf: More food! I'm starving, let's find something to eat! 4 Eric: Not third place again? Failure is so discouraging! Baleog: Cheer up, Eric. Maybe this time we won't fail. Maybe we can just settle for some minor setbacks. Olaf: What a deal. 5 Olaf: Hey! Haven't we been here before? Eric: Of course we have! And we'd better improve or we're not going to get out of here. Baleog: If they'd have more monsters for me to clobber, things would be going a lot better! 6 Olaf: What happened? Eric: We failed again. Baleog: I hate it when that happens. 7 Eric: Is it my imagination, or have we been here before? Olaf: I'm getting rather attached to this place. 8 Eric: This place looks familiar. Baleog: Yeah, It's like we've already been here. Olaf: Repetition can make your memory a little funny. 9 Eric: We've come back here so many times! This is a disgrace. Baleog: But we've clobbered lots of monsters, haven't we? Olaf: Give us a break, Eric. This is a tough level! 10 Eric: I have a strange feeling of Deja Vu. Olaf: Deja Vu? Eric: That I've been here before in a previous life. Baleog: Actually, we've been here lots of times. Eric: That would explain it. 11 Baleog: No, not again! Do you realize how long we have been stuck here? Olaf: Maybe we should buy a home here. Eric: This doesn't look like a place where I'd want to live! Olaf: It was only a suggestion. 12 Olaf: I'm tired, Eric. We've been through this level too many times! Wake me when we finish it. Baleog: Good night, Olaf. Have nice dreams of gliding over monsters. Eric: Good night, Olaf... Wait a minute, we need you to finish the level! Olaf: Oh, sorry. 13 Olaf: We've been here before. Eric: Yes, we have. Will you two please be careful? Baleog: You've made mistakes too, Eric. Eric: Oh, that was low. 14 (Always on the 15th Retry) Thor: This is the voice of Thor, Viking Lord of Thunder. I am real angry with you guys. Eric: How have we displeased you, Oh mighty voice of Thor? Olaf: Why can't I see you? Thor: Would you want to be seen with Vikings that have failed 15 times to get through a level? Eric: But... Thor: In my day, Vikings were faced with much tougher levels, and we always got past them on the first try! Olaf: Always? Thor: Do you doubt Thor? Now go out there and find the exit!!! 15 (Always on the 50th Retry) Olaf: Congratulations! You've just won the 'Too much time on your hands' award. Baleog: And you have waaay too much time on you hands. You've given up 50 times just to see if there are any more messages! Eric: Well, I'll save you a little time... This is the last message you'll get. Baleog: Yeah, so you might as well just play the game. Eric: It's actually pretty fun, you know. 16 (Always on the 51th Retry) Eric: Now, didn't I just say that there were no more messages? Olaf: You don't follow directions very well, do you? Baleog: This time we're serious. Stop giving up, okay? Rick Furr
