Jump In Your Light Cycle and Compete on "The Grid"!

Revamped Arcade Action

"A Tron clone in 3D" has been the tag line of Armagetron since its development and is probably the shortest and most accurate description of the gameplay. For those who don't know, Tron was an arcade game based on the move of the same name, developed back in 1982. The original game was really just 4 sub-games, but the most popular of the games and where Armagetron gets its association is with the 'Light Cycles'.

Enter the fast-paced action of the 'Light Cycle' battles as you navigate your cycle around an arena while leaving a wall of energy behind you. Take part in 16 player mayhem, compete against highly advanced AI, and network all of this extreme 3D action without having to pay a dime.

Classic Arcade Fun

The actual gameplay in Armagetron Advanced is actually quite simple to learn, but difficult to truly master. The main action begins on various grids where the players all start at predesignated positions. The 'light cycles' then start to move leaving a wall of light behind them wherever they go. The objective of the game is to get the AI to crash into one of these walls while avoiding running into any of them yourself.

You can change the direction of your cycle's movement by turning 90 degrees to the left or right, and some servers even make it possible to turn in smaller increments like 45 degrees. The closer a player is to a colored trail, the faster his or her cycle will move. This unique element allows players to accelerate and use the resulting speed advantage to outmaneuver their opponents.

A Lively Community

What make Armagetron Advanced so much fun to play is the large and lively on-line community. There are various clans to join and large tournaments to be found at nearly any time of day. Additionally, there have been several game variants developed to mix up the gameplay, such as Fortress, Sumo, or Styball.

With the constant on-line development, you are sure to find hours upon hours of enjoyable action with this free title. Test your timing and strategic skills as you try to box in your opponents and maneuver your way to victory.
