(yay my first review)
Ever ran away from one-eyed cavemen as they try to eat you, only to eat a pineapple and become a T-rex, turning the tables on them completely? Well, if not, then you should play Trog so you can experience that first hand. What do you mean you don't want to do that? Fine, let me convince you as to why you should play this wonderful game. At first glance, Trog might just seem like a Pacman clone with dinosaurs and cavemen (well, that is basically what it is but it's better than Pacman). You avoid the one-eyed cavemen that are trying to eat you while gathering red eggs and then returning them to your home. Some things that help along the way are pickups like a pineapple (power pellet) which turns you into a T-rex and allows you to eat the cavemen. There is also a power-up that freezes all enemies in place. You also have the ability to punch enemies off the map. The stage itself is usually some sort of island, you can fall into the water and die but, so can your enemies. So, if you are really skilled, you can trick the enemy cavemen into walking off the map and get a nice point bonus. Now, onto the graphics. Trog's graphics are claymation (or as it's called in-game, "playmation") which, in my opinion, manages to fit the game very nicely. Maybe it's just because I'm such a big fan of the Clay Fighter series. Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and wrap this up. Trog is a nice take on the Pacman style of games and definitely deserves to be played (besides, it's only 10 viz). You never know when you could be chased by one-eyed cavemen intent on eating your flesh while you collect red eggs on an island. This game could end up saving your life some day.
