What weird game is this?

[InferiorBeing]

At school today, I noticed some three students playing a game on one of the school computers. They we're yelling and shrieking loudly, and generally speeking seemed to have a ball. Well, in the game, the four players were each moving a coloured line about on a black screen. It seemed as though it was a some kind of a Liquid War or even maybe a Snake -clone.

It looked something like the image below; quickly re-created in Paint by me.

What game is this? They seemed to have a lot of fun playing it, whatever it was.

Tron?

Well, I was hoping someone would know. Exactly what was I to search for on the internet? "Coloured Lines -Game"? It might be a funny thing to ask about, I know. I didn't fully expect anyone to know. At least you could answer that you don't know and disperse of the half-arsed sarcasm.

I'll be surprised if the game has that many colours. It's simply just a black screen, three - to four lines of colour, and apparently so ludictrously fun(?) to play one of the girls were pushed of her chair by her neighbor when one of them lost. I was heading to my class, and that's why I didn't just ask. *Scratches head*

Consider it was simply a game which one of them designed and built.

 

[InferiorBeing]

No way. That's impossible. They of all people wouldn't know how to do that. Plus, this was in the pause-room, and it was only played quickly in-between classes.

Well how old were they? i was designing small games similer to this when i was 12, and i was never the smartest. I dont do it now thou

Looks like MS Paint to me.

Ah, that takes me back...

We range 17 to 18/19 in my school. And, yes, I told you, I quickly made a drawing in Paint to show off what I meant. The game it self looked entirely simmilar to it, though. Those lines may have been a little thicker.

 

[Titanx3]

well you never know it really does look like something they, or a friend of theirs designed, becuaser a pubicly released game like this is unlikey.

 

[InferiorBeing]

I know. But I kinda figured that it was one of these cool Freeware games that no-one has seemingly heard of, yet every school computer seems to have. Like Icy Tower and Little Fighter 2, if that rings a bell.

 

[Merentha]

Little Fighter 2 was ****in awesome

 

[InferiorBeing]

So it does ring a bell, then?

Looks like the lightcycles part from Tron. Try googline lightcycles or something, you'll probably find a few hundred versions.

 

[Ilex]

All in all the game probably isn't fun, the guys are probably just retards (no offence to mentally retarded people).

 

[InferiorBeing]

You might be on to something about the whole Light Cycles -thing.

I've played Tron 1 - You can only go up, down, left, or right. No angles except for multiples of 90. God, that game is/was fun. Tron 2 was 3d.
