About

Tronish 1.3.3 is a light-cycle arcade game for classic Mac OS by Sam Easterby-Smith under the Fishie Software banner. It rebuilds the familiar Tron concept - guiding a coloured trail around the screen and trying not to crash into walls or rival trails - with what its author calls "bloobly backgrounds and far too many options."GameplayFrom the author's own BinHex note: "You guide your little coloured line around the screen (in strieght lines) and try not to crash into other things. The game can be played with either one or two players." A standard one- or two-player snake/tron duel, with an emphasis on configurability.AuthorWritten by Sam Easterby-Smith (mta001@cent1.lancs.ac.uk) and released under the name Fishie Software, with a project home page at http://cent1.lancs.ac.uk/~mta001/ at Lancaster University.RequirementsThe author states the game "works on anything with an 020 or better processor (as far as I know)" - i.e. a 68020-class Mac or newer, including PowerPC. Distributed as tronish-133.hqx, a single BinHex 4.0 archive in the info-mac/game/arc directory.Preservation statusMirrored from Info-Mac. A sibling Macintosh Garden entry for "tron-ish" exists but did not return retrievable content; the BinHex header is the primary documentary source for this version.
