Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Before I started playing, I was convinced this was going to be another obscure game by Gaelco, the enigmatic Spanish coin-op developer, but information available online -- plus the ending credits -- seems to debunk that theory. According to Mobygames, the game received a conversion for MS-DOS PCs in 1995 (no mention of the arcade version), and that particular port is credited to a dev team called "Dong Sung", based out of South Korea. The origins of the game are indeed somewhat mysterious, but what we seem to is an Eastern arcade developer copying, or at least heavily influenced by the art style and gameplay of so-called "Euro Platformers" commonly seen on the likes of the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST during the early 90s.
Unfortunately, the game itself is woefully average. This is a by-the-numbers platformer with awkward controls, boring gameplay, and more than a few bugs. I had to deliberately lose a life against the playing card boss at the end of stage , else the subsequent bonus stage bugged if I beat the CPU, ending the game prematurely. The graphics are OK, although not in same league as Capcom, SNK and other coin-op devs still working in the 2D space.
Ultimately, Super Trio is a curio from an obscure arcde manufacturer, to whom this game is their sole credit.
