armagetron 0.2.7.0-1ubuntu3 (ia64 binary) in ubuntu breezy
3D Tron-like high speed game
The rules are simple: you ride a light cycle (a kind of motorbike that can only
turn 90 degrees at a time, leaves a wall behind and cannot be stopped) and have
to avoid running into walls while at the same time you have to try to get your
opponent to run into them.
.
The idea is based on the Disney movie from 1982 called "Tron". If you ever
wanted to take a try at one of those speed demons features in the movie, this
is your chance. Of all the Tron clones out there, I think one is the one that
comes closest to the feeling the movie tries to express. This is in part
thanks to the sophisticated camera motions, in part to the superb modelling
work and in part to the fabulous sound effects. To add some extra fascination
into the game, unlike to other Tron clones, in armagetron you can accelerate.
Alas, there's no accelerate button. If you want to drive fast, you have to
drive good -- and really really close to the walls.
.
Armagetron can be played against AI opponents, against other humans over the
network, or a mixture of both.
