Classic Arcade Game with a 3D Twist
Armagetron Advanced Portable is a classic arcade game modernized for the 21st century with smooth 3D graphics. It features a customizable playing arena, a heads-up display (HUD), unique graphics, and AI bots. For experienced players, there are new game modes and a wide range of physics settings to adjust. The default controls for player 1 are Z for left, X for right, and V for brake, but you can customize them in the Player Setup menu.

Based on the Movie Tron
Tron was an arcade game based on the movie, released by Disney in 1982. The original arcade game consisted of 4 sub-games; the only one of concern is the 'Light Cycles' one, in which the player uses a left/right joystick to control a 'Light Cycle,' which leaves a wall behind it wherever the cycle it goes, turning only at 90-degree angles. The player must then get the AI to crash into their wall while avoiding hitting the AI's wall themselves. Those were the humble beginnings of Armagetron Advanced's gameplay, which has now blossomed into 16-player mayhem, with highly advanced AI, network gameplay, and, of course, all in a 3D environment.

Armagetron Advanced Portable continues Manual Moos' alias, Z-Man's original game, Armagetron. The project was officially registered on June 2, 2004, but had its findings a month or two earlier amid growing discontentment with several minor, fixable bugs. Tank Program started to work on fixing some of them, and a little-known special release, version 0.2.6.0-TP, was made public. While it was never successful, the fact that builds could be made for Windows and the presence of qualified C++ programmers spurred them onward to create the SourceForge project and release 0.2.7.0. When almost all hope of ever seeing Z-Man again was lost, he miraculously returned to the Armagetron scene and has been active since.
