Publication date: 2005
Description:
GLtron is another clone of old classic Tron lightcycle game.
Tron is based on the movie of the same name.
A must-seee for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, and for all those who did see it - I bet you are wondering if you could find it somewhere to see it again right about now right?Tron is the 80's reply to Matrix.
It was the hackers and computer nerds world where every man was closest to himself and had to ride lightcycles to the death.Lightcycles are driven as barrier-builders.
Where ever you go you draw a wall behind you that your opponent (or yourself) cannot cross.
Using this wall you can capture and close off your opponent until there is no way for him except into your wall or his own.
Game over - game won.Unfortunately there is only the lightcycle races in this game, in the original Tron there was also discus-throwing.
Which was VERY cool.GLtron is made so more than one player can compete.
This increases the playability tremendously.
The download is rather small and worth it.
Take a couple of minutes or maybe even half an hour out of your schedule and play GLTron.
