DOS Games Discussion

Hi,
I have come here to see if you can help me find a game that I used to love playing on my windows 95 computer.
It's basically like tron. It had a birds eye view of a a square where you would "tron around" in. The awesome part of it was you could earn money and buy things at the shop for the next level/game you played, and you could change your line-style from normal to dotted and even thick line (after purchaced from the store)!
I have been searching everywhere but I can't seem to find the right one...

Please help

Ah, yes, I have the shareware version of that. "TRON : Light Cycles v1.0"
The screen on exit says:
"Copyright (c) 1992, Keith Fordham."

I remember those details you mentioned.

Since it's shareware, I'll upload it temporarily-ish: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1712024/stuff/trongame.zip
That isn't the original zip. I only had the files extracted. It's either that or nothing. Sorry, TRON.DOC.

YES! That's the one! But how do I get it to run at normal speed? I saw a program but I forgot what it was.

But how come its like... NOWHERE on the internet?

And is there a way to register?

Try running it in DOSBox. It should run fine there. http://www.dosbox.com/
Follow http://www.dosgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5443 or such from that forum to get it set up.
DOSBox would be a better bet than MoSlo or programs like that, I would think.

Why this game is nowhere on the internet, I don't know.
I just had the shareware version sitting around on a floppy and copied it over one day because I wanted to play it.
You'd have to find the author somehow. Open REGISTER.FRM in notepad. Maybe the author's mailing address still works. Maybe he's moved and you would have a remote chance of finding him through internet searches. *shrugs*

Yes! I got it working, thanks a lot.
But one thing:
Why doesn't it let me buy new trails at the store :O
(Yes I do have enoguh money)
It just says "Already Have ConTrail"

Heh, it's been so long since I played it other than the other day to make sure my memories were correct.. Try selling the other trail first if possible. Otherwise, check the readme.

Still not working
Readme tells nothing about unable to buy trails...

manstie if you have problems with the gameplay we have a sub for this:
