The concept of Tron is a bit different - it's typically a 2-player game,
and the task is to trap your opponent inside your (or his/her own) trail
left by the "light cycles".

>From the description, I'd also guess Qix.  Superior's adaption was
called Kix, and was probably not licensed from Taito at all - like most
clones.

With the closing of RetroBBC, I don't know of anywhere on the net to get
Kix, though.  Better hang on for the "resurrection of all the [Superior
Software/Acornsoft] titles, in a suitable format for emulation users". 
That had better be good!  ;-)
