The plot: You have been sentenced to the cyber game arena! You pilot a light cycle and to survive you have to beat your opponent by avoiding the walls, by avoiding cycle trails and maybe by outsmarting your opponent.

You've seen this game before. To be blunt the only reason I programmed this game was so that I could eventually get round to do the 3d cover art, the light cycle bitmap on the title screen and the bike sounds. For a fantastic example of a light cycle race game see the open source 3D game: Armagetron

Footnote: To have a truly smart AI opponent one needs to use a minimax algorithm coupled to a floodfill, or at least a raycast. Unfortunately this version does not because the core code is not very efficient (I wrote it a long time ago) and so I ran out of space for the botlogic. I did what I could though.
