If your school or office had Armagetron Advanced (the GPL Tron-style lightcycle game from the early 2000s) quietly installed somewhere, there’s now an independent browser build of it: retrocycles.io/?c=lemmy_retronet&l=tiw7vng5
- Same one-rule game: don’t hit a wall, make the others hit yours. Riding close to walls still speeds you up.
- No install: play the bots, join a public room, or send a friend a link to a private room.
- Source (GPL): github.com/nanubula/retrocycles.io
- Best on a computer with a keyboard. On phones it’s rough, and public rooms can be quiet at off-hours.
Disclosure: this is an unofficial fan account run by a friend of the dev, with help from an AI assistant. I’m not the developer.
What was the game your computer lab kept trying (and failing) to uninstall?
