Trog is a puzzle game released in 1991 for the Nintendo NES. The game places players in control of small cavemen navigating maze-like environments filled with dinosaurs. The main objective is to collect eggs scattered throughout each level while avoiding or confronting various dinosaur enemies.
The gameplay pace is moderately fast, requiring quick thinking and strategic movement to outmaneuver pursuing dinosaurs. A unique mechanic involves the use of cavemen to dig tunnels and manipulate the environment, which can be leveraged to trap or bypass enemies. This adds a layer of tactical planning uncommon in typical maze games of the era.
Distinctively, Trog combines puzzle-solving with action elements, blending maze navigation with combat scenarios. The game's setting in a prehistoric world featuring both cavemen and dinosaurs creates an unusual and memorable theme within the puzzle genre. This combination of environmental manipulation and enemy management sets Trog apart from other NES puzzle titles.
