Introduction

TRON is one of the oldest computer games ever - probably   because of its simplicity to implement and complexity to master. It is considered action game, but could be classified as logical as well. It requires visual thinking and fast reactions from players and a whole great deal more from the developers! Unlike most other computer games, where the computer's abilities are usually suppressed so that the humans can have at least *some* chance, with TRON it is just impossible to implement a good computer opponent! Without going into details, we would simply like to point out that TRON is most interesting when you play against another human.

Fortunately, this is possible even with the limited input capabilities of Palm Pilot as a gaming device.

Beiks Ltd. is proud to present the Pilot clone of the game. There are some extensions, though, that (we hope) will pleasantly surprise these, who already know it. Hopefully, we will update the game, so it is a good idea to check TRON page our site from time to time.

 

Rules

Each round starts on an empty field. The players control lines that constantly move into specified direction, leaving trails. Each player controls the "head" of the line and must lead it so that it won't crash into anything. The longer you play, the longer your trail becomes. Obviously, there is a limited free space on the playing field.

One will surely hit something at some moment.

Make sure it is not you.

Registration

The registration is only $10 on our website, PilotGear H.Q. or Handango. By registering you will get nag-free version, eventually more updated version than the DEMO and free future updates via the MYSTUFF page on our site.
