Troika is a 1991 video game set published by Paragon Software, a collection of three games, "Metal Hearts", "Ivan's Time Machine", and "Rebel Planets".[1]

Gameplay

[edit]

The gameplay of "Metal Hearts" was said to be similar to Pipe Dreams.[1][2]

Reception

[edit]

Matt Taylor reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Although each of the offerings has a certain merit, this reviewer only had eyes for "Metal Hearts." All are structured in a reasonable, user-friendly way, with a save, password or stage select. Yet, one cannot help but think that, even with three games in one, Troika may be an interesting product, but it doesn't come close to Tetris."[1]

Game Players PC Strategy Guide said that "Despite the inevitable first impression that Troika is a rehash of tired game themes, its forgiving nature sets it apart from the crowd. If you like arcade games but don't enjoy the usual attendant frustration, give Troika a try. It might addict you."[2]
