Item Condition

Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. The photos are of this exact copy — look them over closely for its condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

The cavemen are hungry, and you are the menu. Trog takes the chase-and-collect formula Pac-Man made famous and drops it onto a string of prehistoric islands, where your little dinosaur scrambles to gather every one of its colored eggs while one-eyed Trogs close in from all sides.

Midway's 1990 arcade original turned heads with what it called "Playmation," character models sculpted in clay by artist Jack E. Haeger and digitized into the game. Acclaim's NES version, developed by Visual Concepts, redraws that look in 8-bit sprites but keeps the goofy spirit intact. Your dino can throw a punch at any moment, and the power-ups are where the fun lives: a red flower for a burst of speed, an ice cube that freezes every Trog on screen, a firebrand for a few seconds of fire breath, and the famous pineapple that turns you into a towering T-Rex who can gobble up the cavemen chasing you.

The Trogs get smarter as the islands roll by. They start inventing things, from fire pits to wheels to springs, and the catapults and transport chambers that help you escape can be used against you just as easily. Every island becomes a quick puzzle of routes, timing and nerve.

Where the arcade cabinet let four players compete, the NES cartridge trims the cast to Spike and Bloop for two-player play, which still makes for chaotic couch sessions. Reviews at the time were mostly positive, and it is easy to see why. Trog is bright, quick and silly in the best way, a slice of Midway's arcade weirdness that plays perfectly in short bursts and looks like nothing else on the NES shelf.

About the game

It's survival of the fastest in the prehistoric land of Og. That crazy, one-eyed caveman, the Trog, is hungry... and dinos Spike and Bloop know what that means: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Here's your chance to change the course of history and save the dinosaurs. Don't become Trog's Stone Age feast! Instead, use your reflexes and wits racing through 50 fun-filled islands, packed with dino-mite action and surprises. You'll witness the greatest inventions of all time: fire, the wheel, the pogo stick (the pogo stick?) - all invented by Trog to catch his dinner - you! Just watch out for the Tar Pits... sticky business. You've got special pick-ups to keep that carnivorous chow hound in check, like pineapples that turn you into a ferocious Trog-munching T-Rex. It's like this: either you save the Dinos... or you're extinct!
