RobertB recently mentioned Tron in a quite unrelated post.  In particular, why there was no official Tron game for the C64/128.

That made me remember I had one of those type-in programs from back in the day that is very much like the motorcycle part of the Tron arcade game.

I appearantly no longer have the original type-in program; I do have 2 versions that me and some friends re-wrote.   Both of them use the joystick for input (except to start the game or continue).  If you look through the code, you will see where the original type-in was designed for keyboard input.  Well that's the main reason we re-wrote it -- we wanted to use the joystick.  Then we (or perhaps me alone) made a second version to allow for two player game.

The first (you versus computer), use a joystick in port#2.

The second (you versus friend), each plug in a joystick.

Warnings:
1. Obscene language for no reason other than we were young and found it funny
2. Each messes with STOP key vector, so after ending the program, the STOP key doesn't work... better reset...
I'm kupo for kupo nuts!
