Gobliiins is a puzzle adventure game released by Coktel Vision for DOS in 1991. You control a team of three distinct goblins on a quest to cure their king. The game plays out across single-screen levels where you must use the trio’s unique abilities in tandem to solve environmental puzzles. One goblin is a warrior who can strike things and climb, another is a technician who handles inventory items, and the third is a magician whose spells trigger unpredictable, often comical effects on objects. Finding the right sequence of actions on each screen is the key to progressing.
How to play
The game is fully playable with the mouse. Click a goblin to select him, then click an object or location to have him interact with it using his specific skill. If your mouse cursor gets locked to the game window in the browser, press the Esc key to free it.
Tips
Since the magician’s spells have illogical effects, try casting magic on everything in a new room to see how the environment reacts. Keep an eye on your shared energy bar at the bottom of the screen; making mistakes or triggering traps will deplete it and can lead to a game over, so save your progress often.
