Trog...more than cycloptic cavemen and rainbow dinos and mazes of wiggling eggs, Trog is a game about clay in all its fantastic, elastic potential. Expressive squishiness converted to phosphor and pixel--it was the first of its kind, a successful marriage rarely seen again. Games are about hand-drawn sprites and sculpted polygon, apparently, not the painstakingly animated, stop-motion clay models that so filled Trog's glorious CRT display back in the day. And yes, years later, this fusion of art forms still begs for a crumb of respect. Trog, in all its majesty, is a tragedy.
