Mister Viking (315-5041)

Step into the role of a Viking warrior on a quest to recover lost treasure in Sega’s Mister Viking. This cooperative shooter, released in 1984, puts two players side-by-side as they navigate challenging environments and confront waves of enemies. Using an eight-way joystick and two buttons for action, players advance through the game world while battling obstacles to earn bonus points. Mister Viking combines elements of a walking simulator with shooting gameplay; movement is deliberate, requiring careful positioning and timing to overcome challenges. Programmed by A. Kawahara and K. Iwanaga, the game runs on Sega’s "System 1" hardware and offers a straightforward, action-oriented experience for up to two players. First released in Japan in January of 1984, it presents a glimpse into early arcade gaming from Sega.
