Trolls is a Troll doll-themed platform game developed and published by Flair Software for the Amiga, MS-DOS and Commodore 64 in 1992. In 1994 it was ported to the CD32.

In 2009 it was released for Nintendo's DSiWare platform as Oscar in Toyland; since the Trolls license had lapsed, all Troll imagery was removed from the game and replaced with Flair's original creation Oscar.
