 Description: CYBER RACE is a variant of TRON for two players.

In cyber space you are involved in a virtual competition against your opponent. With a cyber bike (a sort of virtual motor cycle) you speed around on a square area and behind you a impenetrabel wall is built up. The goal of this game is to force your opponent to crash in such a wall while you should try to avoid this.

The difference between this an conventional versions of TRON is that you see what's going on not from the bird's-eye view but from the driver's view. In addition there is a map which shows a detailled view of the area arround you or a less detailled overview of the whole area.

Further there exist four options from which only one is selectable at any time. After you have driven a particular distance the next option becomes selectable. The options are the following ones:

  1. build a wall in front of your opponent
  2. make your opponent's map invisible for the next 16 seconds
  3. build tunnel that eliminates all walls on the next 256 meters in front of you
  4. in the next 5 seconds all walls can be crossed without beeing harmed.
