TrollsSTORY / GAMEPLAY
You are a brave Troll fighting your way through cute-looking and vividly colored environments, trying to rescue as many baby trolls as possible that are kept captives. Each level has a certain number of babies to save before you will be able to go to the next via a portal called PigStop. At the beginning, your only chance to survive is to jump onto each enemy's head and avoid contact in general but as the game progresses you'll find a Yo-Yo that can be used not only as a weapon but also as a tool that will smash blocks and open pathways. The gameplay and the overall level design remind us of Zool (and Zool 2) and Troll is surely a very addictive platform game as it offers great action, candy visuals and so much fun.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
Trolls runs in VGA mode and utilizes the card's potential with around 160 simultaneous colors that offer great visuals though sometimes the frame-rate seems to suffer a bit, compared to both the Amiga OCS and AGA.
The sound on the DOS version includes several in-game tunes and some funny sampled sound effects.
