Tron Lightcycle game

Quite a good implementation

Allows network play :-)

Yeah, I saw that a while ago, it's pretty cool. I think it even came with my copy of mandrake linux. I prefer it to the official tron 2.0 lightcycle mode.

thx for posting, i'd all but given up on his being updated again - i believe the author's day job is team leader on the Gothic series of games

this is by far the best Tron [Blockade] game in terms of thrills with its novel catch-up method which forces you to take risks

other good Tron games are GLTron, which has a Recogniser flying overhead and nice stencil shadows and LightCycle Game Grid Champions - this has the MCP mothership hovering overhead, my preferred bike models of the three, has cockpit gfx when using the internal cam and the bit at the start where the bikes rez-up so to speak
the bike speed was slow when i last played it, and the collision detection was pretty poor too
one of the above two also has a smartcam button which points towards your nearest rival - not perfectly implemented but a good idea nonetheless

i didn't bother trying the Tron2.0 cycles as it didn't look a patch on either Armagetron or GLTron from what i saw on the video

sorry about having no links in the post, you'll just have to search for the other games
