Gobliiins 1991

Is it still worth playing?

A 1991 puzzle adventure for MS-DOS, the Amiga and the Atari ST, in which three goblins set out to cure their king, who has been driven mad with a voodoo doll. Each goblin has a skill of his own: Asgard punches things to break them or knock them over, Ignatius zaps them with magic that can make them move, grow or come alive, and Oups is the only one who can pick up and use items. The game is 22 levels, each on a single screen, and every one is a puzzle that takes the three working together. Mistakes cost them, since leaving a goblin somewhere unsafe or trying the wrong item drains the life meter the trio shares. Working out what each odd talent will do in a cartoon world with its own logic still turns every screen into a small puzzle box.
