Tron Ish

TRON-ish is a Mac spinoff of the classic light-cycle game from TRON, in which players race trails of light across the arena and try to box opponents into a wall, an obstacle, or one of the trails left behind. Lost Minds released the title through Foxchange Software in 1998 for 68k Macs running System 7.

Light-Cycle Combat

The objective is the one familiar from every TRON adaptation: cut your opponent off with the trace left behind by your bike. A single touch is fatal, so the matches turn quickly into a contest of nerve, angles, and willingness to commit to a turn before the other rider does.

Pick-Ups and Weapons

Beyond the basic chase, TRON-ish layers in a range of pick-ups and weapons that can be deployed during a round, giving the formula a slight arcade twist over the bare-bones original.

System Requirements

The release targets 68k Macs with System 7.0 through 7.6, six megabytes of RAM, and a 640x480 monitor capable of eight-bit color. QuickTime 2.0 or later is needed for the in-game music.
