Description
The goblins games on PC were part of my childhood.
The puzzles were even more illogical and random than Day of the Tentacle, yet there's some pleasure in seeing your characters do stupid things and suffer for it as you try all kinds of wacky stuff.
The characters in Gobliiins all seemed to have the same personality, which is why I preferred Gobliins 2 where the main characters were polar opposites.
Fingus (left) is polite, naive and intelligent and Winkle (right) is stupid, mischievous but also very brave. The prince buffoon joins your team near the end of the the game, but he's just a whiny brat.
I'm glad I finally drew a fanart for those characters, but one question remains after all these years:

WHAT the HELL is Winkle supposed to be???
He can't be a goblin, he doesn't look anything like the Blount, Fingus or any of the heroes from the first game!
So is he a bird? (as seen from his reaction to Vivalzart)
Is that a beak or a nose? If it's a beak, why does he even have teeth?
Why is he blue?
Maybe only his original creator, Pierre Gilhodes, knows the answer.

Anyways, it just doesn't makes sense to me, which is why Winkle's so awesome, IMO. He's way up there with Bender in my list of favorite characters with problems.
