Product Description:

As the name suggests, it's inspired by the movie TRON. Or more exactly, by all the games that where inspired by the movie TRON. You steer a futuristic bike, called lightcycle. Combat takes place in a rectangular arena. Your bike leaves a trail behind, which is like a wall. The goal is to force the other players to drive into a wall. The winner is the last player alive.

What's new in this version:

Changes to the last official release (0.62) include:

New AI that actively tries to cut you off
Two new Gameplay modes (that can be combined):
- Booster (where you can accelerate using a limited 'Turbo' supply), and
- Wall Acceleration (where you speed up if you get close to an enemy cycle's trail)
better handling of .ini file (versioning & protection against partly written files), a simplified GUI, and various other bugfixes

Also, a lot of changes were done to the code, to simplify further improvements. You can expect e.g. arbitrarily shaped arenas soon, or the long awaited 'escape through a hole in the arena wall' feature.

Really nice game; but, it does not seem to support Multiple-Users (maybe I ned the Network version). Had to download another copy of the app for our other account to use it.

One of the best freeware action games available. Can't wait till this reaches a 1.0 release.

. . . seems to be buggy in 10.3. When I first started playing this game, it worked great and was tons of fun. But would occationally crash. Over time, it has gotten to the point where it constantly crashes and I cannot play it any more. I think it might coinside with me installing drivers for the iShockII. It seemed to happen at about the same time. Did I mention the graphics on this game looks awesome?
