Trojan Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]

Game Info
---------------------------------------------------
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Year of Release: 1986
Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
One of Capcom's arcade releases with which I was not familiar, Trojan could be perceived as the missing link between Kung Fu Master and Vigilante.
This side-scroller is definitely cut from the same cloth as Item's games, albeit equipping the hero with a sword and shield, instead of pure martial arts skills.
It's also not very good. The gameplay is uninspired, the graphics somewhat drab, and possessing a difficulty curve which becomes more of a vertical line in later levels. Trojan is probably worth checking out, but only if you've never experienced it; one you have, you probably won't come back for more.

"Peace will probably return to this world again"
Well, that's reassuring. 😂

[@litjellyfish]

Hey at least its honest :D There is no such thing as a guarantee in life right?

[@deceiver444]

Always loved the atmosphere in this one.
Reminds me of Fist Of The North Star in some ways.

[@FengRaiCho]

It is inspired by FOTNS

[@Jackfromshack]

It looks like if Double Dragon and Ghosts 'n Goblins had a baby

[@Imurge]

🤣 🤣 🤣

[@edscorsese]

I said the same thing on an NES speedrun video lol!

[@litjellyfish]

For sure. And pure visually I think it must be the same Graphics artist that did Double Dragon right? The style of characters and shading and environment design is so similar (not ghost and goblin, it has different pixling style I think)

[@TeddyBelcher4kultrawide]

Dads real music

[@ritchwaghorn6541]

This was one of my favourite arcade games back in the day..

[@Bobaklives]

The music of that era of Capcom was MAXIMUM. Whenever I put a game like Speed Rumbler in my cab it’s so loud 😂

[@AustTheAvatar]

You can actually lose your sword and shield if you block certain attacks. This would result in your character punching and kicking, adding to the feel of Kung Fu Master. I saw this game once at a place called Photon in Virginia Beach and my cousin had the NES version

[@___Bebo___]

I would always block the power ball attack so I could fight with the kicks and the punches. Was way more fun that way.

[@SUAVE_AMIGO-X]

Thank you for playing!

[@invocadordeath-grind6090]

Lo mejor de lo mejor!!!

[@ArttuTheCat]

I had TROJAN for my PlayStation 2 with
a compilation called
CAPCOM CLASSIC COLLECTION.
That game is hard and frustrating 😹🕹️.
The only best games, i have ever played
in that compilation, are COMMANDO
and BIONIC COMMANDO 😺👍🕹️.

If NES Batman and Zelda 2 had a baby? Trojan.

[@angeldeb82]

I never knew that your hero Trojan's name is Ryu! Very sweet with the good battles!

[@104d_3rr0r_vince]

Never seen this at the arcades back then.
It's been developed on the Amiga, probably I will play it there when finished 🙂

[@ArttuTheCat]

Actually, as i remember correctly,
it never came out on the Commodore 64 nor Amiga 😹👍🕹️.
Although, it does remind me of
TIGER ROAD 😺👍🕹️.

[@104d_3rr0r_vince]

@@ArttuTheCat Indeed. SEGA and Capcom titles were doomed on these machines, as USGold were the publishers. At least we had Elite on the Amstrad, and Commando was great.

[@LPetal86]

Roman soldiers in a futuristic setting? I'll take it. Looks fun for a short while but looks more like an arcade game you play once and then say, "I've beaten it, don't feel the need to play this again".

[@Countsmegula]

I like how the life counter doesn't count to ten despite having two digits in its counter.

[@dansmith1661]

And how many early games have score counters with more digits than is possible to reach.

[@fushigiman140]

Basically Trojan war in post-appocalyspe

[@darkzentai7417]

Kind of reminds me of ghouls and ghosts.

[@ukaszkwiatkowski7951]

Wow Pixel Perfect 😲

[@ItsBigIan]

You have finally
Good luck

[@musicoycompositor8994]

excelente

[@persona83]

I had the NES version, only after emulation I found it was an original arcade title. I like it a lot but I agree it has little replay value.

[@rikacha30]

闘いの挽歌？

[@EightOne01]

The hero’s name is also Ryu.

[@darkzentai7417]

I never understood this fascination in the 80s of having enemies smash through walls when they’re doors 2 feet to one side.

[@Imurge]

it’s the thrill 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@psyberiusblack]

Because it’s badass. That’s why.

[@darkzentai7417]

@@psyberiusblack this is true.

[@POGRetroModernGaming]

Excelente game😊

[@Zebpro]

It's Irem, not Item. 😜😉🙃

[@dansmith1661]

That I remember. What a shame, cause it looks like garbage.

[@edvardgt4465]

I just realised that Two Crude Dudes has some similarities to this- ruined New York in the background, armadillo enemy and enemy with extending hand
