If you grew up playing Trolls (1992) on MS-DOS, you probably remember its quirky platforming action, vibrant visuals, and of course, that catchy intro theme. There's something about old-school video game music that sticks with you, and I couldn't resist picking up my guitar to give the Trolls intro theme a fresh new spin. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering this hidden gem, let's dive into a little retro gaming nostalgia—with some guitar shredding on the side!

For those who might not be familiar, Trolls was a colorful platformer released by Capstone Software in 1992, featuring everyone's favorite wild-haired dolls. You played as a mischievous little troll on a mission to rescue baby trolls across zany, candy-colored levels filled with bouncy obstacles and quirky enemies. But what really stood out? The soundtrack! The game's intro theme had that classic '90s charm—simple, energetic, and instantly recognizable. It's the kind of tune that gets stuck in your head long after you've stopped playing.

So, I decided to bring the intro theme to life on guitar! The original tune has a fun melody that translates surprisingly well to electric guitar. I stuck to the essence of the track but added some extra rock energy, a bit of distortion, and some lead guitar flourishes to give it a more modern feel while keeping the nostalgic charm intact. If you were a DOS gamer back in the day, I think you'll appreciate this little throwback—especially if you're a fellow fan of retro game soundtracks.

What's even cooler is that Trolls has recently been ported to a web-based version, meaning you can now play it directly in your browser—no downloads needed! Whether you're on desktop, tablet, or even mobile, the game is back and just as fun as ever. And with added touchscreen controls, playing on the go is easier than ever. It's awesome seeing these classic games get a second life, and it makes revisiting them even more special.
