Trolls

Trolls, released in 1992 by Flair Software, is a colorful side-scrolling platform game starring the popular toy trolls with their distinctive wild hair. Players guide a cheerful troll through a series of vibrant, imaginative worlds in a quest to rescue baby trolls that have been captured and hidden throughout the levels.

The gameplay centers on fast-paced platforming, where players must collect gems, avoid traps, and defeat quirky enemies. Each stage is packed with hidden passages and secret areas, encouraging exploration and rewarding careful observation. The lively animations, fluid controls, and playful atmosphere made the game stand out among early ’90s platformers.

With its bright VGA graphics, catchy soundtrack, and charming use of the troll toy craze, Trolls appealed to younger audiences while still offering a decent challenge. It remains a nostalgic title for MS-DOS players who grew up in the era of character-driven platform adventures.
