[Found: Megaforce Tron] Tron type game?

04 March 2002, 01:58

I'm still looking out for this game if anybody can help?
It was a lightcycle game that followed about 4 or 5 demos.

The thing I remember disk was that it had a green alien at the beginning of the disk if I remember correctly, Ive got a feeling it was Eddie from Iron Maiden but I could be wrong.

Sorry im not much help!

The tron game was excellent, it was a great 2 player game!!

Any help is gratefully received.

I'm not exactly sure if I recall the same disk you played the game on, but my personal favorite Tron light cycle game on the Amiga is called Tech (or Technix). I'll steal one of Cody's trademark screengrabs (as seen below)...

I remember playing a lightcycle game on my neighbor's Amiga years ago. It was called Rasterbike. I have never seen it in ADF format...

This guy had (and probably still does have) hundreds of Amiga games. I often wonder if he has any that people are looking for and can't find. But we're in the US, and most of this stuff is probably in Europe, right?

Well, there's still a good bit of us Americans here! And a whole bunch of US Amiga games are terribly missing in action. Any list of games you can get from him for ripping to ADF would rock! We are archaeologists here, daddy-o!

No its not that one Twistin Ghost sorry m8, i cant really remember anything else about it, let me think a bit more.

Someone must remember something!!

Twistin'Ghost · 04 March 2002, 23:34

Moved to correct forum (sometimes, I just don't notice these things!)

Cody should have some more ideas - which reminds me...where the heck has Cody been the last several days?

Probably at some Lord of the Rings convention

Is there a version of TECH that works fine from HD ? I tried making several versions to work without success

Twistin'Ghost · 05 March 2002, 14:28

I don't believe so. The only versions I have seen have been single-parted, mega-crunched, trained copies on compacts. Originals are quite scarce for this game; I have been looking long and hard. I think I remember finding one once on ebay, but this was before I had an account and I had to watch it go bye-bye. If anyone is aware of any place selling an original copy of this game, please let me know where, as I will buy it for the WHD team to fix.

There's already a WHDLoad install for Tech:

http://www.whdload.de/games/Tech.html

Grab the files needed for the install from the Zone - put them in the same directory as the Tech.slave file.

Twistin'Ghost · 05 March 2002, 21:57

Wow, Cody. I dunno how I missed that one, but thanks!

05 March 2002, 23:42

Come on guys please someone must know it!!

It was the most addictive game I ever played on my Amiga after Sensi & Kick Off 2!!

Ive got to play it again!

CodyJarrett · 05 March 2002, 23:46

Light cycles game, eh?

Corx?

CodyJarrett · 05 March 2002, 23:46

Extensor?

CodyJarrett · 05 March 2002, 23:51

Tron 5000 (ATron 5000)?

05 March 2002, 23:51

No it was neither of these m8, sorry!!
It must have been a PD game them, sorry Cody I cant really help anymore.
Damn I wish I knew the name of it!

CodyJarrett · 05 March 2002, 23:52

Torch 2081?

05 March 2002, 23:55

No m8 it wasnt these, all i remeber was there was 2 players, 1 white line & 1 yellow line against 2 computer players!

You pushed fire & the line sped up, the graphics wasnt much to write home about but the music was good!

Twistin'Ghost · 06 March 2002, 00:41

Well, there are certainly a lot of these types of games in the PD. Have you tried Aminet?

RetroMan · 06 March 2002, 00:41

Maybe one of those clones on Aminet ? http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminetbin/find?tron ?
