Mister Viking is a vertically scrolling run-and-gun action game released by Sega for the Arcade in 1984. Controlling a Viking warrior, you advance through colorful stages battling enemies and clearing obstacles to reach a sphinx-like statue at the end of each round. The gameplay revolves around a unique aiming system: you fire your weapon in the direction you are currently moving, but if you stand still, your character automatically shoots upward.
How to Play
To start playing in your browser, press Shift (or 5) to insert a coin, then Enter (or 1) to start. Use the Arrow keys to move in eight directions and the Z, X, or C keys for action buttons, allowing you to attack enemies and throw bombs to clear out buildings.
Tips
- Master the movement aiming: Since you only shoot in the direction you are walking (or upwards when still), you will need to constantly adjust your movement to hit flanking enemies.
- Save bombs for buildings: Bombs are essential for destroying small structures and defeating enemies positioned on high ground that your regular attacks cannot reach.
- Clear the path: The screen will not scroll forward until you eliminate the enemies blocking your immediate path, so focus on clearing out immediate threats before trying to advance.
