Play Trolls Tale Online

Trolls Tale came out in 1992 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games series, developed by Flair Software Ltd. It was a time when adventure games often relied on simple graphics and text parsers, but this one offered a more direct, screen-by-screen approach to exploration. You moved through a world that felt hand-drawn and deliberate, with a focus on puzzles over combat.

You control a small adventurer tasked with gathering pieces of a magical crown to defeat an evil troll. Movement is grid-based; you explore one screen at a time, searching for items, pushing boulders, and avoiding hazards like giants or falling rocks. The puzzles often involve using the right tool in the right place, such as placing a plank to cross a river or finding a key to unlock a door. The pacing is slow and thoughtful, with a difficulty that rewards patience and observation. It feels like carefully picking your way through a dangerous, whimsical storybook.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
