"A Tron clone in 3D"
|
|
This has been the tagline of Armagetron, since, well, a very long time, and is
|
|
probably the shortest and most accurate description possible. Tron was an
|
|
arcade game based on the movie of the same name, release by Disney in 1982. The
|
|
original game consisted of 4 sub-games, the only one of concern is the 'Light
|
|
Cycles' one, in which the player uses a left/right joystick to control a 'Light
|
|
Cycle' which leaves a wall behind it wherever the cycle it goes, turning only
|
|
at 90 degree angles (well, on most servers anyways). The player must then force
|
|
his opponents to crash into their wall while avoiding his opponents walls.
|
|
Those were the humble beginnings of Armagetron Advanced's game play, which has
|
|
now blossomed into 16 player mayhem, with highly advanced AI, network game
|
|
play, and of course all in a 3D environment.
