This is a clone of Light Cycles, as seen in the film "Tron".
Basically, each player drives a motorcycle which leaves a solid ribbon of light behind it; the player who wins is the one who crashes last.
Your own line can be crashed into as well; therefore, for instance, if you are going right and you press the button to go left, you will immediately crash.
The winner of each game is the one who scores ten points first.
Many things about the game can be changed; "mines" can appear suddenly, the playing area can be made boundless, and so on.
Once you have reconfigured the game to your satisfaction, click on the main icon (on the icon bar) with SELECT and the game will begin.
Have fun!
I converted the music with Vivaldi, so buy it, it's only £10.
Thanks go to:
• Robin Hunter
• The author of Light Cycles on the Spectrum
• The producer of Blade Runner
• Acorn
• Mr Armstrong + Mr Braun (for allowing me to use the school's Ion Camera and digitiser)
Read the scrolltext in the game for more burbly stuff.

*Vivaldi info*
To get Vivaldi, send a cheque for £10, payable to Andrew Wood, to my address (above).
As well as the latest version of the Vivaldi music program, you get a PD music player, a set of conversion programs, a sample editor containing a transposer, volume fader, echoer, reverser, mixer, and chord maker, and yet more programs. You also get a sample synthesizer or two, some samples and a bit of music.
Oh, and a user guide.
Nice eh?
So don't be a complete wazzock, buy it, not those other ridiculously over-priced competitors like Desktop Tracker and Digital Symphony - at least Vivaldi uses STANDARD windows and is user-friendly.
That's my standard spiel.
Buy Vivaldi, it's good! Buy it even if you have Coconizer, Tracker, Desktop Tracker, Digital Symphony or Maestro already! Buy it even if you already have a copy, just so you can have TWO original pairs of disks!
