remember that early 80's movie with the people trapped in the video game? I don't; I've never seen it, but I found some kewl tron games based on the light cycles.
Way back in my earlier days of school, I used to be the so called "TRON master" of this cute lil TRON game based on the movie. No one knew it was based on the movie but it was great fun on the network of mac classics. We had tournaments and stuff, it was fun.
The TRON arcade game itself was a big hit, and since the 20th anniversary DVD and soundtrack cd have just come out, I thought of the old tron games I used to play.
Anyway, just to see, I did a search for
"TRON game" and you would not BELIEVE what I found!
Here's some tron games:

Armagedtron (http://pluto.spaceports.com/~zman/armagetron/download_windows.html)
This tron game features full 3d, net support, and movie-true sound fx as well as the best control of the games I found. The AI gets better each round.

GLTron (http://www.gltron.org/)
This tron game features full 3d open GL, a cool IT sountrack and a pretty groovy font as well as split screen mode. Poor control though but the AI is decent.

Startron (http://www.startron.org/)
This one is less like the movie but features new things such as power-ups. It uses Open GL and has network support. It also has numberous ships with customizable colors.

The download is currently DOWN but it looked cool. Fully 3d like the others.

Discs of Troff (http://www.discsoftroff.com/)
I haven't played it as it doesn't look like a lightcycle game but it is based on tron. Full 3d, note the "all your base" inset.
