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. 😂

[@Jackfromshack]

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

[@Imurge]

🤣 🤣 🤣

[@eddiescoseria5884]

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

[@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

[@ritchwaghorn6541]

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

[@TeddyBelcher4kultrawide]

Dads real music

[@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!

[@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 😂

[@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

[@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 😺👍🕹️.

[@invocadordeath-grind6090]

Lo mejor de lo mejor!!!

[@angeldeb82]

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

[@w0197]

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

[@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.

[@ItsBigIan]

You have finally
Good luck

[@musicoycompositor8994]

excelente

[@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.

[@POGRetroModernGaming]

Excelente game😊

[@fushigiman140]

Basically Trojan war in post-appocalyspe

[@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.

[@ukaszkwiatkowski7951]

Wow Pixel Perfect 😲

[@EightOne01]

The hero’s name is also Ryu.

[@darkzentai7417]

Kind of reminds me of ghouls and ghosts.

[@rikacha30]

闘いの挽歌？

[@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".

[@Zebpro]

It's Irem, not Item. 😜😉🙃

[@dansmith1661]

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

[@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.
