About Trog!

Trog is set in the prehistoric land of Og, where dinosaur characters compete against hungry cavemen called Trogs. The primary objective involves collecting eggs, which the Trogs also seek to consume.

Players control these dinosaurs in a race to gather all eggs of their assigned color before opponents do. The Trogs are active hazards that will pursue and attempt to eat the dinosaurs, employing primitive tools like fire in their hunt.

To defend themselves, the dinosaurs can utilize power-ups. Consuming certain items allows them to transform into a Tyrannosaurus rex capable of eating Trogs, or to gain the ability to breathe fire. The game supports multiple players simultaneously, with the exact number varying by version.

These people are responsible for the game.
You don't really get to skip that many levels at the start, for some reason.
That's you. You have to pick up all those eggs. That's the game in a nutshell.
Just watch out for those Trogs!
The cavemen are so dumb they'll fall off the screen sometimes.
The more levels you clear, the flashier this screen gets,
Grab a pineapple and you'll be able to eat the cavemen!
The more you eat, the bigger the bonus. You can get up to 80,000 points per meal!
But if you're not careful, they'll make a meal outta you!
