Armagetron is, by far, the best Tron Light Cycles clone I have ever played, and that includes the Tron 2.0 cycles. Like in Tron 2.0, riding directly against a wall gives you a big speed boost. The controls are extremely precise, and you'll be surprised at how many times you're able to pull off incredible dodge moves when someone tries to cut you off. It supports a variety of split-screen setups as well as LAN/Internet support (along with singleplayer AI), and the netcode is plenty good enough for such a twitch-reliant game. I just played with 5 other racers and in ten rounds, only one of my deaths was blamable on lag.

It's excellent; one of the best freeware games I've ever played.

The camera control on that game is awful. Nearly every other tron clone is less painful to control than that one.

Heh, not four hours straight, but I've had the game opened its own little window for the past few days, and I just unshrink it every now and then to play a few rounds.

Derelan: The default camera isn't very good, but if you spend some time configuring its controls and selecting, say, the External or Custom camera mode. I use ASD for steering and braking and the numpad for my camera controls.

Soldat

Go to download.com and search it.
Why didnt i think of soldat? Thats a perfect game! Unfortunately, I dont think it runs windowed, and i need it to, because i intend to play these games during class.

Some more suggestions:
Icy Tower
Tiger's Bane
DX Ball

I'm pretty sure you can't.

Anyway, I don't know. Soldat outlived its welcome pretty quickly for me. It's too inflexible and too frustrating without any of the polish or style of N. Now, N with guns, well, that might cause a collapse of the known universe with an awesome black hole right in the middle.

soldat does run windowed. you just have to edit the file soldat.ini and change fullscreen1 to fullscreen0 ('1' enables fullscreen, '0' disables it)

There are the yetisports games too. I think they are up to Yetisports 7 now!

Except N requires a 2.4ghz CPU to run without lag.

Yeah, well, flash was never the brightest choice. I honestly don't know what they were thinking.
