A cheap, quickly produced yet fun Power Rangers knock-off, the VR Troopers obviously proved popular enough to warrant a couple of video games.

Barreling into the one-on-one tournament fighter realm, this portable recreation of the TV show is generic enough to knock it down a few marks. Its gameplay is acceptable for a general portable release at the time, but not when compared to the other software on the console. The obvious problem is the lack of combos. The last episode of the series aired on February 21st, and was titled "Galileo's New Memory. That's the last we see of them! We never see them come close to defeating Grimlord, and the series never gets a proper ending, despite having 92 episodes.

It was released through Milton Bradley and required two to four players to play. You may be thinking to yourself how it's possible to play with four players when there are only three VR Troopers, but the way the game works is that players rotate which trooper they are each turn. Basically, you have to fight through Skug after Skug to get to General Ivar to defeat him and win the game. The Skugs are controlled by other players during battle. It's all dice-based combat, with the active players rolling against the Skugs who are played by one of the inactive players.

The game is ultimately way too simple and not terribly challenging, but hey, this is a board game for a kids show after all. Old fans of the show may have forgotten exactly how dark the plot really is and what exactly is at stake. Grimlord is an immensely powerful villain in a dimension that's parallel to our own, but he has a human form in our dimension on earth that is working to create a way to allow Grimlord entry, so that he can claim both for himself. Anyone familiar with the works of H.

Lovecraft knows that many of his stories or stories inspired by him involve ancient Gods trying to come back to reclaim the earth, with only a few that are aware enough to even attempt to stop that from happening. So VR Troopers is basically a Lovecraft story, but with lots of robots and virtual reality. If Lovecraft was alive in the early '90s, he'd of probably touched on this idea himself. Grimlord's human form on Earth goes by the name Karl Ziktor.

He's a billionaire industrialist using his power and influence in an attempt to break down the barriers keeping our world separate from Grimlord's virtual reality dimension.

I don't know about you, but to us he sounds an awful lot like another billionaire industrialist; Elon Musk. What might the quest for a fantastic future look like? Is it a future where Grimlord has taken over the world? There is absolutely zero evidence to suggest that Elon Musk is secretly Grimlord. All we're saying is that we wouldn't necessarily be THAT surprised.

Grimlord is one thing, but his henchmen? Forget it! The names are so ridiculous, old fans of the show may think they've been misremembering them. You haven't been; they really are that obvious!
