Lightcycle deathmatch! If you've been looking for an excuse to parade around in your Tron underroos or are just plain sick and tired of that little room you've been locked into, hop on a lightcycle in SWRON and play some chicken. single and multiplayer

I feel like this is much too fast to get a handle on (it's cool that it's a Flash applet, though).

There are much more "playable" lightcycle racers if you're willing to download and install. Two that were pretty decent when I last played them about a year ago (development is ongoing on both) are Armagetron and glTron.

I don't know - I hit level 22 after about 40 minutes or so of practice. Kind of addictive.

Just a warning for passers by: It's not actually flash but shockwave director or whatever they call it.

This is one of only 2 games I play online! The other is Battleships. Can't wait to try the other lightcycle games... Thanks.
