Trogdor for Game Boy Advance
Remember that Flash game Trogdor from like 20 years ago? Well, I put it on the Game Boy Advance. Check it out!
Features:
- All 100 levels of the original Trogdor, recreated for the GBA
- Burninate the countryside, burninate the peasants, and burninate the thatched-roof cottages from the backseat of your parents' minivan! Party like it's 2004, y'all!
- Includes improvements from the HTML5 version!
- Save your high scores and compare with your friends! This feature was cut from the original Flash game, but has been reinstated!
- Your progress is autosaved as you play. Quit at any time and resume your session later!
- New features unique to this version!
- The fearsome TROGHAMMER from Trogdor: The Board Game can optionally appear.
- Achievements!
- You can play as other dragons besides Trogdor!
- New 3.1 update adds a variety of new playable characters!!
Tips:
- If you want to unlock new characters, just keep playing.
- Some cottages have treasure inside! Keen observers can find treasure troves of cash (and points!)
- For every 300 points, you earn an extra life.
- If the "trogmeter depreciation" option is turned on, you lose Trog-Meter for every peasant that returns to their cottage.
- As you progress through the levels, the troghammer arrives earlier, your burnination time shortens and archers appear more commonly.
- Press START during a level to pause

I got an error when you pause the game while you win.
And The "Pizza Boy Scratchy" skin i did in Picsart for Pizza Boy GBA was made in December of 2023.
What exact screen were you on when you paused the game? The one where it says "LEVEL BEATEN"? The bit where it shows Trogdor in front of the level, enlarged in the center of the screen? The credits sequence where Strong Bad says "congratulations"? Staff credits? High score entry?
Give me as much info as you can, so that I can try and fix this.
I pause right after I have burninated the last house in level 6.
Or in this case, "The bit where it shows Trogdor in front of the level, enlarged in the center of the screen"
I have fixed this bug with the newest release. Please check it out!
Another glitch I found is when you are on the game over screen as a character that isn't trogdor (eg. Sucks). When you go to high scores and then go back to the game over screen (pressing A or B), it switches to Trogdor.
Thanks for the feedback! I will be releasing an update soon that addresses both of these.
I remember Kurt Tucker of Loudoun Valley High School pulling this off and got it running off a compact flash cart on his GBA back in 2004 I wanna say? Absolutely blown away anyone has attempted the same in 2025, bravo dude
Thanks for the kind words!
