About the Game
Gobliiins Collection is a comprehensive compilation of the first five Gobliiins titles released on PC between 1991 and 2023. It includes the five full puzzle adventure classics, including multiple versions of the first three ; games (MS DOS, CD-ROM, MAC, etc.), a music player with tracks from all five games, 3D models of each game’s original packaging, a gallery with original design documents as well as a documentary mini-series featuring a brand new interview with Pierre Gilhodes, Gobliiins series co-creator.
Included Games
- Gobliiins (1991) – For reasons absolutely no one understands, the good King Angoulafre has gone completely bonkers. Naturally, the court’s solution is to send three goblins to the wizard Niak in the hope that he can sort this whole mess out. What could possibly go wrong?
- Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon (1992) – The son of King Angoulafre has vanished without a trace! This time, the court mage Modems dispatches two goblins to rescue the young prince. With a flick of magic, he teleports them to a faraway land where his colleague, the magician Tazaar, can lend a hand. That’s where our brave (well… relatively brave) duo discovers the truth: behind it all lurks a demon born from nothingness—the dreadfully dreadful Amoniak…
- Goblins 3 (1993) – Blount, a delightfully unhinged reporter for “Goblins News,” is on assignment in the kingdom of Foliandre—just in time to witness Queen Xina and King Bodd waging war over the Labyrinth. Things take a turn for the worse when his flying vessel is attacked, forcing him into an unscheduled landing. Enter Princess Wynonna, daughter of the Labyrinth’s guardian–whom Blount promptly falls head over heels for. Before he knows it, he’s tangled up in the conflict… and just when things couldn’t get any stranger, along comes a werewolf. Of course.
- Gobliiins 4 (2009) – The first (and only!) 3D installment, Gobliiins 4 reunites the three legendary goblins: Oups, Asgard, and Ignatius. Summoned by King Angoulafre, they’re sent on a mission of utmost importance: finding his missing pet… a small, adventure-loving aardvark. Truly, a quest for the ages.
- Gobliiins 5: The Invasion of the Morglotons (2023) – Disaster strikes the kingdom as a mysterious epidemic starts turning everyone into potatoes. Yes, potatoes. Rumor has it that even the good King Angoulafre has been affected. Luckily, he’s under the care of the finest doctor around… probably. Hopefully. Well… we’ll see.
