What's the best character based puzzle game you've ever played? The Lost Vikings is still my favorite. It had some story to it and the dialogue between the characters was actually pretty funny sometimes. What's your favorite past or present game of this kind?

Is it an old amiga game with 3 viking characters by any chance?

Yup, that's the Lost Vikings.

Hmmm... how much "characer" does a game have to have in order to qualify as a character-based game???

D.R.O.D. currently occupies a fond place in my heart as far as puzzle games go. Deviously difficult. Amazing breadth and length... and free. Too bad Erik is having trouble with the web host right now.

oh man... each of the 3 "Goblins"!

it was a Puzzle-Quest where you had 3 goblins each with its own ability and couple of ways to finish each of the puzzles. All 3 had a wicked sense of humor, like when you tried to use a wrong item or at a wrong way, you'd get the funniest responses... I still remember those wierd voices and faces they did in each screen.

one of the best oldies.

Yep, I agree "Goblins". IIRC It was the same developer as "Lost Vikings"

Space Station Silicon Valley (N64). Although it's more of a action-puzzle game.

Lost vikings was made by blizzard when they were still called "Silicone and Synapse", they also made Rock'n'roll racing. All Good games...

Character based puzzle game...
Sounds like an adventure game to me.
Soo.. Grim Fandango

Or is it another genre?

A very under-appreciated game. Most of the team went on to develop GTA3.

I wanna turn this into another 'gish' thread!

Ummm.. shouldn't you be working on a missile-command remake instead? ;)
