The Lost Vikings/Controls

Computer version controls
The key assignments for the controls are unusual for a PC game, but looking a bit deeper shows they were carefully chosen to make all buttons conveniently accessible: movement is controlled by the right hand - either on the arrow keys or the numeric keypad; actions are assigned to the left hand in a reverse-T block of keys (ESDF). Switching vikings is designed to be done by the right hand without taking it off the main directional controls - for arrow key users Right Control / Pad 0 are used, and for numpad users, Pad 7 and Pad 9. Since the game does not differentiate between left and right Ctrl keys, players who prefer to switch vikings using the left hand can do so via the left Ctrl key.
