🕹️ TRON: Light Cycles

"You sit down in front of your computer after a long, hard day. You notice a new disk sitting by the keyboard. Curiosity takes hold of you causing your depression to be thrown into the deep recesses of your mind. You quickly boot the computer and enter the disk into the drive. You take a directory and find the executable file, 'TRON.EXE'. The name reminds you of something but your memory fails you. Soon curiosity pulls you back into the adventure and your thirst for discovery. You begin to type in the letters : 'T'.....'R'......'O'.....'N'...as you hit the last character the screen goes blank. The absence of the enter key in your typing baffles you for only a second as the screen jumps to life. Squares, circles, pictures of all sort appear everywhere on the screen. Rainbows of colours fly this way and that. All of a sudden you realize, ""I only have CGA! There are more than four colours on the scre....."" Before you can complete the thought you are yanked up off your chair. Without even time to grab hold of something, you find yourself being sucked into the screen. Sensations fly through your body as you are slowly digitized into thousands of pixels. The colours stop. Darkness engulfs you and soon you loose track of time. Time passes. It felt like days, maybe even weeks had passed you by but in reality you have only been trapped for minutes. Eventually, the darkness begins to leave. Light enters the room. You see huge, monstrous walls loom around you, the reflection of light of their surface is your only clue to their existence. Slowly beams of light stream out of the floor and walls. Within minutes they encompass the walls, the ceiling, and the floor with lines, going both horizontally and vertically, that glow of a pale blue. Near the centre of the far wall, two vehicles materialize. You instantly recognize them. Thinking aloud (very loud), ""Light Cycles! Tron! Of coarse, the light cycles game from the movie Tron. I HAVE BEEN SUCKED INTO MY COMPUTER TO PLAY LIGHT CYCLES!"" A voice responds to your outburst, echoing throughout the room, ""Light Cycles? Yes. But they are not the same as in the movie. I can see you are puzzled. When you fight for your life in this new, advanced version, there are more ways to fight than just with your cycle. Occasionally a store will appear."" You hear an unidentifiable sound and you turn to see what happened. In the end of the room stands a door. Well, more or less a vortex not a door. Above this ""door"" you see a small sign that say 'Ye Olde Tron Power Shoppe'. The voice continues, ""In here you can spent the money you earn winning games. The powers you buy will aid you in your playing. Good Luck."" With that the voice ceased and a man, or at least what you think is a man, appears in front of one of the light cycles. He moves towards the cycle and mounts it. Not knowing what else to do you run towards your cycle and get ready to play. The voice returns. ""Level One....begin!"""
