Well here's a little something I found on my travels, it's an openGL based Lightcycle game. LightCycles

For those who didn't see the movie Lightcycles were a sort of futuristic motorcycle that left a wall behind them. The idea was to wall off your opponents with your trail using the most devious methods you could think of  

It's a pretty addictive game. It's also been ported to Linux and *gasp* mac so there's no excuse for you not getting a copy (unless you're still running an apple II   ).

Check out ArmageTRON if you get a chance. Its the best lightcycle game out there.

I remember Tron fondly; the 20th Anniversary DVD should be out very soon if it's not out already.

Dunno about the LightCycle game; I haven't DL'ed it yet. Is it any good?

[Dark_4ce]

Yeah, there's a site that seems to be promoting either the new Tron Game or Tron 2.0.

Its from the Tron 20th Anniversary DVD.

they could easilly outdo the original's breathtaking graphics (considering the very small amount of actual CG). They could not easily achieve the same amount awe. We've all seen Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within. TRON2.0 would have to raise the bar above FF:tSW to have that same impact. Not that they would have that same sense of 'reality'. TRON's visuals are notable for their surreality. It was almost computer Art/Deco.

Maeglamor: make sure you get the movie sound pack and the movie visuals pack for ArmageTRON. Also, you might want to go into your setup file for the game and run it at about   30 or 40 speed, so its actually challenging. Oh, and be sure to set the game to use first person view. Birds-eye/Camera-pan view makes it way too easy. First person view gives you the feeling of 'being there'.

This game is pretty neat...

[Dark_4ce]

AARGH! I've spent like 2 hours playing that game now! I LOVE IT! It's so addictive in its simplicity! Hey, where can I get the movie/sound packs?

[ZylonBane]

Also, the TRON soundtrack has finally been released.

It's TRON-mania, I tells ya!  

Oh, and for all you little whippersnappers, the "Light Cycles" game was around for a long, long time before TRON came out. It was originally a game called "Surround", released back in the 70's.
