Play Gobliiins Online

Gobliiins is a fantasy puzzle game released in 1992 for MS-DOS. Developed by Coktel Vision and published by Sierra On-Line, Inc., the game presents its world from a side view perspective. Players guide a team of three goblins on a quest to locate four magical components, a mission prompted by their king who has been driven mad by a voodoo doll. The only hope for a cure lies with a wizard named Niak, whom the components are meant to help find.

In the game, the player directly controls the three goblins, each possessing a unique and fixed ability. One goblin can cast unpredictable spells, another is able to pick up and manipulate objects, and the third can physically strike things. Progression is structured across 22 distinct stages, with the primary objective being to solve the puzzles within each area to advance. Solving these puzzles often requires coordinating the actions of the different goblins, as players can switch control between them individually. Actions are selected using icons located at the bottom of the screen.

The characters share a collective life meter, which can be reduced by various hazards. Performing incorrect actions, such as using an item with the wrong goblin or triggering a trap, will drain this energy. Each goblin also has a personal energy reserve that can be depleted by traps or by leaving them in dangerous situations. If the shared life meter is completely exhausted, the game ends. The puzzles are designed around the specific skills of the trio, requiring thoughtful combination of their talents to proceed through the game's environments.
