The Liverpool Empire crowd was a gruff mob of dandruffed trogs in RAF surplus greatcoats and no quarter was given.

Power-ups also randomly spawn to help finish the level; these include red flowers that increase the player's speed; ice cubes that freeze all on-screen Trogs; pineapples, which turn the character into a full-grown T-Rex that can temporarily eat Trogs (similar to Pac-Man's Power pellets, except the power-up occurs randomly); and a firebrand which bestows a temporary fire breathing ability on the dinos. The multiplayer mode consists of two to four dinos on the same screen competing to get all of his/her same- colored eggs first, and players can either attack or protect each other (though power-ups indiscriminately hurt anyone that's in the way regardless). Many stages feature no walls, so characters can travel off the edge of the grid-like islands and plunge into the sea if they're not careful. The Trogs themselves are subject to all hazards the player is; they can even be taken out by their own wheels, fire and pits to comic effect.

Mark Caswell of Zzap!64 gave the original arcade version of Trog an overall positive outlook. The Nintendo Entertainment System conversion was met with positive reception from critics. Trogs arcade cabinet makes a brief appearance in the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

They eventually create fire pits and wheels to burn and flatten, respectively, the character and springs to bounce themselves all over the screen. Catapults and transportation chambers in latter stages help evade these attacks, however these are also usable by the Trogs resulting in some tactical gameplay options.

Characters from the game make appearances in later Midway titles. In Revolution X, one of the Trogs appears as a shootable "easter egg". In CarnEvil, a Trog can be found in the "Freak Show" portion of the game as an attraction on the background frozen in a block of ice labeled "Frozen In Time!", while the dinosaur characters also appear as enemies in the "Rickety Town" level.

Manson played for Hillfoots, Dundee HSFP, Stirling County, and West of Scotland FC at amateur level. Manson, while with the Dundee side, was one of the original Tillicoultry Trogs who brought the hard edge to Dundee HSFP's pack in the club's heyday in the early nineties. Alongside front row companion Danny Herrington, Manson made sure one of Scotland's future heroes, Prop Tom Smith had a tough fight to see 1st XV action with the club. Manson was part of the historic unbeaten NZ tour of 1992, the first ever by a British club side.

The guards try but fail to defeat their flight. The Doctor gives the real race banks to Jackson, and then takes the fakes out of the craft. Idas takes advantage of the situation to round up the other slaves or Trogs and lead them to the safety of the R1C, while the Doctor engineers the fission grenades that are returned to the Oracle. With moments to spare, the R1C blasts away, loaded with the slaves and the race banks, and is pushed outward from the planetoid by the explosion of the fission grenades.

Reconstruction of a reversible waterwheel with a 9.5 m diameter in Clausthal-Zellerfeld To begin with the ore was chiseled free and carted to the surface of the open pits or shallow mines in baskets. Once shaft depths increased to between about 10–60 metres hand winches (Handhäspel) were used, operated by one or two workers (Knechten). The crude ore was placed in wooden buckets for transportation. For the rather short, horizontal gangways leading to the shaft the ore was carried in Trogs for several centuries (long before the introduction of blasting).

Trogs can be one-hit punched, to the side of the head, as they approach the screen edge resulting in them falling into the sea, with bonus points rewarded to the player. There are three different levels of difficulty: Easy, Advanced and Expert (Although the Arcade operator can set the difficulty in the operator menu to make the game more difficult on easier levels, without the player's knowledge of the true global difficulty.). Advanced Mode rewards a 200,000 level bonus and Expert rewards a 400,000 level bonus. As the levels progress, the cavemen become smarter and invent new ways to capture the dinosaurs.
