Trolls (DOS)

Trolls is probably one of the most colorful platformers made of its time, with more gradients than a demoscene production.

Developer Message#

Hidden at the end of trolls.exe is this rant:

This game was written on a very slow 
schneider 10mhz 286 with lots of wait states

If for some reason on your very fast 
xxxx 25mh 486 this game seems to be fast or unplayable ,
do no blame us for it was a penny pinching boss
who would not buy us reasonable pc's to work on.
