Producer: Blaby Computer Games Memory Required: 48K Retail Price: £1.99 Language: Machine code Author: J. Woodcock Blaby's Tron is nothing new in computer games, except that it's one of the first 'Light Cycle' type games at the budget price. The traditional rules apply, with the player being unable to hit the edge of the playing area, his own light trail or that of the other player (or computer). The one-player game against the computer does have the novelty of removing the edge of screen penalty and opening the playing area up with a vertical and horizontal wrap around screen. In the two-player mode the screen edges are reinstated but eight directional movement is permitted. COMMENTS Control keys: Q/A up/down, Z/X left/right (left player 1), P/L up/down, N/M left/right (right player 2) Joystick: none Keyboard play: responsive enough for the game, better in 2-player with reasonably laid out keys Use of colour: for the type of game, very imaginative Graphics: very simple, although there are cars at the front and wide trails for ease of seeing, this does tend to limit the playing space more. Sound: not much Skill levels: 1 Lives: 1 Special features: 1 or 2-player games

TRON's two-player game has eight directional movement.
