I wouldn't expect anybody to call Trolls and Oscar games 'excellent'. The people who made graphics for these games knew how to draw for sure, but their choice of colors were very bad. These palettes made the graphics painful to the eyes. As for the games themselves they were rather average at best. They were primitive platformers with nothing interesting in them. All the stuff in the game looked pretty random with no consistency like in Superfrog or SEGA's Sonic. One year later Flair Software released Whizz! Which was a far better game in any aspect. Games like Oscar and Trolls were a nail to the coffin for the Amiga despite the fact that they weren't horrible games, but they lacked depth to compete with other platforms like SEGA Genesis or Super Nintendo. They were really poor when compared with another late platformer called Marvin Marvelous' Adventures that actually had interesting mechanics and very consistent and more pleasant visuals. What I respect about Japanese gamemakers behind Mario and Sonic games is that they were working hard on the game concept to create attractive characters that could spawn a franchise with all sorts of other media, toys, movies etc.

Excellent game, possibly the best looking on the platform especially cd32 and 1200. Similar to Oscar which is also excellent. If you like your platform games then try this.

A very average platformer game. The concept is not very innovative - you just run around through different worlds (each consisting of three zones) collecting all the missing babytrolls. Access to the worlds you achieve through the hall of worlds (very similar to James Pond 2: Robocod). Your only weapon is yourself because you eliminate enemies by jumping on them. Occassionally you may find a yo-yo that can help destroying some buddies (not all), walls that block the way or you can use it to swing up to some higher shelves. Basically the game goes level by level without any thoughful inspiration. Another area and another area and another area - no fluidity what so ever. The graphics are nice (personally I think that ECS version is the best in this department), there is no music during the gameplay but there are annoying tunes between the areas and level summary screen (which is idiotic). The levels are poorly designed and you have the feeling of the on-screen mess. It was released on all Amiga variations: ECS, AGA, CD32 with no real differences between them apart from graphics.

My friend and I played this game a lot when we were 6/7 years old. We loved the graphics and music, and funny sound effects (my brother was 2 years old when we played it and the sound of the baby trolls giggling made him laugh! Good times).

As I got older I realised I was still enjoying the game, mostly because there are so many interesting levels. The gameplay wasn't anything new to me, as I'd already been playing Oscar for a while, but the game was still fun and I played it a lot.

A typicial AGA showdown, a gorefest of bright colours, that's about it. Then they discovered that it needed some gameplay as well so they threw in this troll to venture through the 'landscapes' and make some silly jumps in certain places, and run and duck and... Well.... At this point I had thrown the cd-rom in a corner already... Didn't like it.

Uninspired, messy, poorly designed and quite sparse, this wasn't exactly an entertaining game. To be honest, it was kinda crap, yep. And that's it...

My view is almost the opposite of Lee's. Initially I found this quite charming, but repeated play proves it to be sprawling, lacking in gameplay, and badly-designed.

Quite a colourful platformer - The first time I played this, it wasn't very exciting. However if you stick with it for a few more plays, Trolls will keep you addicted for a good while.
Its a lot better than the C64 version (there again, what isn't!) and its definetly worth getting hold of, if you are a platform fan.
