Well most of us remember Tron and the lightcycles.

This is simply another game where you get the option to ride your own lightcycle.
I dont know what else to say...

Rules: Ride around the track avoiding the light-walls that are created wherever you or an opponent has been. Try to block in your opponents without crashing yourself.

Sometimes camera angle changes from behind to side view and there's no way to change it back; faq on project's page mentions problems with it, but I found it impossible to do - I press F10 and, indeed, camera changes to cockpit view, but pressing F10 again lets me go back to side view only... Resetting game doesnt help, however options are set ok - camera angle is set to "behind"...

Anyone has similar probs?

Btw, game seems to be the remake of old 8bit or Amiga game... I played similar one in the past, graphics was very simple and there were two bikes only iirc... Looking for name atm...

edit: any of Tron-style games on Mobygames doesnt look like the one I played... Hmm.

second edit: game had "norton" word in name...at least that's what I remember... Like Norton Commander.

Or maybe memory is playing tricks on me... Norton, Tron, makes no difference for young teenager.

Isn't this just Snake all over again? Ah, well. Could be fun in multiplayer.

Played this a while ago, and also played the original Tron game after the movie was released. You could also play the frisbee game in the original.
I think the idea behind Tron is fun, but tried in many games. This leaves this remake/clone with a passing grade, and a good half hours fun. But still you might return to it, if you are a fan of the movie. I know I have returned a couple of times.
