TRON is one of the oldest computer games ever - probably because of its simplicity to implement and complexity to master. It is considered action game, but could be classified as logical as well. It requires visual thinking and fast reactions from players and a whole great deal more from the developers! Unlike most other computer games, where the computer's abilities are usually suppressed so that the humans can have at least *some* chance, with TRON it is just impossible to implement a good computer opponent! Without going into details, we would simply like to point out that TRON is most interesting when you play against another human.
Fortunately, this is possible even with the limited input capabilities of Palm Pilot as a gaming device.
Beiks Ltd. is proud to present the Pilot clone of the game. There are some extensions, though, that (we hope) will pleasantly surprise these, who already know it. Hopefully, we will update the game, so it is a good idea to check TRON page our site from time to time.
Each round starts on an empty field. The players control lines that constantly move into specified direction, leaving trails. Each player controls the "head" of the line and must lead it so that it won't crash into anything. The longer you play, the longer your trail becomes. Obviously, there is a limited free space on the playing field.
One will surely hit something at some moment.
Make sure it is not you.
We decided to try and see what will happen if we use TRON as a promotional game. That is, we would like to see whether people will like the idea of registering such a *simple* (yet beautiful) game plus the chance of getting another of our games for ten bucks.
We hope you will. TRON is not a good game to play alone and we just can't be sure that you will sacrifice some $10 for it. And, trust us, there is no use of asking less.
So, here is how it is: one of each three registered (purchased) copies will receive another one of our games. By now this could be either PilotLines, NetWalk, Beiks Tetris, Sticks, Double Sticks or Clickomania.
How can you be sure we do not cheat? Well, you can't. That is the situation and we will be grateful to anyone who could help us reverse it, because we need you to trust us. Let's just say that this is a risk for both sides.
The registration is only $10 on our website, PilotGear H.Q. or Handango. We will need your Pilot User Name (sometimes referred as HotsyncID) in order to give you completely working copy of the game (and eventually another one!).
