Armagetron is an awesome game, where you get to control a 'Light Cycle'. As you drive around this light cycle, it creates a wall. Crashing into a wall equals death. Throw in other players, and a few game modes, and you've got yourself a game!

All cycles on a server travel at the same speed. When you step on the breaks, or turn, the speed decreases, and slowly goes back to that set speed. When you are grinding (travelling RIGHT next to a wall), your speed increases, and goes down to normal slowly. This makes catching up to players somewhat easy, but they could turn right before you get there, making you crash!

There are many types of servers:
Deathmatch
Sumo: Battle in a tiny circle, leave the circle, and you die.
Fortress: Capture the enemies base, by cycling in it when no enemies are.
Capture the Flag
High Rubber: You can run into a wall without turning for a LONG time.

The site is at armagetronad.net. There is a wiki with tactics, and a download. I am currently on the High Rubber server...stop by!

WOOO!

I play on all the high rubber servers...so awesome

The default rubber setting isn't to great, but 20-30 is pretty good.

The one I'm on has 24 rubber...
gives me time to THINK. But still need good reflexes, especially when in a box.

Yeah, that's around the sweet spot. Anything Higher and it gets very abusable. But at the default it's a little insane. (Especially when playing online.)
