In the classic Snake game, the tail of the snake moves and the snake grows longer when you eat snakefood. In Tron, the light trail stays there and you try close in your opponents. So this game is definitely Tron, not Snake.

Tron is usually a multiplayer game and the speedup next to light trail you mentioned is missing.

Btw. back in the BBS days there was a Finnish freeware Tron-with-weapons game called "DeLuxe Moposota" (rough translation: moped wars). I have very nice memories of it. It works nicely DosBOX. Here's a youtube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gozt-1BgVrU
