Hello...

Here it is...the GOOD version of TRON..  [Note: This replaces and obsoletes
 the TRON.LIB on Goodies Disk #7, which had no documentation.  -jkh-]

I didn't expect TRON to be sent so soon to USA, that's why I didn't write any
English Documentation for it.

The other reason is that before October 1992, I did not have any access to
telnet nor ftp, but now it's OK.

----------------------------------------------------------
LIBRARY DESCRIPTION.

INFOS : Press this key to have the original information about the game.
            [I'm afraid you cannot write me to the displayed address from
             USA - It could cost you a lot - But you can write me to my
             1992-93 email address (see above...)]
        It initializes the PICT to its standard size (131*64) for later use.

CTRL : This is the Game Paramaters Utility.
       _Difficulty        : The Difficulty level
                            From 00 to 99 (Change with "A" and "B" keys)
       _Protection Shield : The Initial Shield Value (see below)
                            From 00 to 99 (Change with "C" and "D" keys)
       _Dolby Stereo Left : Sound ON/OFF for player 1 (sorry, no dolby :-)
                            Change with "E" Key

DUEL : Specify the Score to reach.  HP will count the points.
       The first player who reaches the specified score is the winner.
       To exit this mode, press [ON] at the Scores Screen.

GAME INSTRUCTIONS :

This is a game based on the "TRON" video game.
Have you seen it ?
No ?...
Well...each player pilots a space-motorcycle and the goal is to make the other
crash into a wall...
The main difficulty is that each vehicle makes a solid material "trace"...
And this "trace" is to be considered as a wall...

Each motorcycle has access to 2 Special Options :
TURBO  : This increases your speed.
         And it's unlimited !!!  Yeeeahhh....
SHIELD : This activates your Protection Shield (see CTRL menu).
         It permits you to destroy the wall in front of you (But not the
         playfield wall).
         Be careful; it IS limited.

I think the 2-player Mode is the most interesting.

But you can use the 1-player mode to "visit" the playfield.
Try for example to enter the "tunnels" on the 4 side walls of the
playfield.
And try to get out of them !!!

Have Fun!
