Hello...
Here it is...the GOOD version of TRON.. [Note: This replaces and obsoletes
the TRON.LIB on Goodies Disk #7, which had no documentation. -jkh-]
I didn't expect TRON to be sent so soon to USA, that's why I didn't write any
English Documentation for it.
The other reason is that before October 1992, I did not have any access to
telnet nor ftp, but now it's OK.

GAME INSTRUCTIONS :
This is a game based on the "TRON" video game.
Have you seen it ?
No ?...
Well...each player pilots a space-motorcycle and the goal is to make the other
crash into a wall...
The main difficulty is that each vehicle makes a solid material "trace"...
And this "trace" is to be considered as a wall...
Each motorcycle has access to 2 Special Options :
TURBO : This increases your speed.
And it's unlimited !!! Yeeeahhh....
SHIELD : This activates your Protection Shield (see CTRL menu).
It permits you to destroy the wall in front of you (But not the
playfield wall).
Be careful; it IS limited.
I think the 2-player Mode is the most interesting.
But you can use the 1-player mode to "visit" the playfield.
Try for example to enter the "tunnels" on the 4 side walls of the
playfield.
And try to get out of them !!!
Have Fun!
