Tron 2.0 Game

Posted by michael on from the kill-9-them-all dept.

Conspiracy_Of_Doves writes "Gamespot has an article about the new Tron 2.0 game in the works to accompany the movie. It looks like they are being very true to the original, the new light cycles are even being designed by Syd Mead, the same guy who designed the old ones. You will get to visit locations from the movie, as well as play around inside desktops and PDAs." IGN has another article on the game. Watch out for the gridbugs.

    The game reviewed looks impressive, but if you can't wait, then try the free Armagetron
    (http://armagetron.sourceforge.net/)
    for a 3D light cycles game with "moviepacs" for making the players & grid look true to the orig movie. Network play is v.addictive.

      There's also glTron, another Free light cycle game. Runs on *nix, Win32 and MacOS X. It's perhaps not as feature-full as Armagetron, but if you want a pure light cycle game, it rocks :-)

    You can get Discs of Trom on MAME from classicgaming.com.

    It's amazing how well the twisting joystick transfers to mouse/keybord controls.

    And yes, it's still fun.
