Tron Lightcycle Game

Armagetron Advanced is a free network enabled Tron lightcycle racer for windows, OSX & linux. Attractive graphics and interesting camera controls make up for a fairly difficult opponent skill level. Screenshots here, download link here.

Wow, it's been quite some time since I last played Armagetron - and it's cool that it's for OSX now too. Very good, I know what I'll be doing tonight.

It's been over a year since I played it. Great fun!

Had the A.I gotten any better in the last 2 years? I can beat 20 computers pretty easily, which loses it's luster after 2-3 times. alternately, how does one go about playing on-line against humans?

Four Flavors, I tried it today -- there's a built-in server browser a la Counter-Strike. Pretty fun in a brainless arcade sort of way.

I like the moving camera angle, but, uh...how do I steer?

I, for one, welcome our light bike racing overlords.
