Hardtrace is the right arcade for you :) I'm not kidding, if you're a fan of local multiplayer, tron-like and snake-like games, then read on! Up to 12 players on a single PC (and more over the network) can throw down for the highest score in nine-minute matches. You drive a snaky "Tracer" vehicle that leaves an intermittent and highly lethal trail behind you, and you must use your skill, observation, and strategy to chop your teammates into tiny pieces. How is this different than a classic snake, you may ask... The thing is, in this game, it's no problem to get to the other side of the game board in a split second. In this game, the usual rules don't exist....
Enjoy Hardtrace.
