Tron

Sun Apr 23, 2006 3:37:17 AM #17055 Perm Link

I saw Tron for the first time last week. I hadn't even known it existed before it was featured as one of the worlds in Kingdom Hearts II.

It was cool. Even with outdated graphics. I'm really surprised I'd never heard of it before.

Yeah, TRON is really cool. I had't heard of it until I started playing a few TRON-based games like Armagetron, which I still play...
I don't know if I know this from the extras on the Toy Story or TRON DVD, but TRON, it seams, inprired to the creation of Toy Story, and thus could be counted as first in the Disney computer animation line, with Toy Story {1,2}, Monsters Inc. Finding Nemo, The Incredibles etc...
Alas, it is not usually counted in this line and loses some publicity to Toy Story...

They released a video game built around the Tron universe. It was pretty good. Tron 2.0 for the computer or Tron Killer App for the consoles.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Tron 2.0 was a great game, but you need a rather good system to get the full experience. The lighting was great.

The movie was good, but just doesn't fit for things like the internet.

The Internet as we know it didn't exist at the time, there were some interconnected BBS, and universities had created a sort of internet, it was more like USENET than what we see today.

I believe he means that the programmer's face is the program's face in the computer world. Imagine stuff like the Linux kernel or the dreaded NX bit!

The Lightcycles rule, along with all those red, blue lights. The movie was a little slow, but still interesting.

The orginal TRON video game was great. The lightcycle 'snake' game, tank maze, throwing discs and shooting the lowering wall with your arm. They need to bring that game to consoles in a classics collection.

Great Movie for it's time. Very under-rated.

It was on TV recently.

Yes I enjoyed the Movie its funny how so many of the terminology is used today back then when you herd of ROM you just thought it was a cool name now it actually makes sense of what it is. Ahead of its time it was.

Talk of a sequel to the Tron movie, years ago hasn't amounted to much... I'd like to see an update, with more action.

No No NO see this is where classics should stay classics and no remakes or even sequels once movie studios start doing this they take and ruin the whole essence of it. Look a Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for example might as well take a good classic movie and wipe you ass with it, is the same thing.

I thought the Tron 2.0 game was pretty well done. I bet a sequel could work, but it needs good input.

The game in effect was a sequel. It didn't do well at all on the consoles, but I enjoyed it a great deal. The story was decent, and the RPG elements of upgrading your programs and deciding what you want loaded into memory was great. If you haven't played this one, and you liked the movie at all pluck it out of the bargain bin immediately.

Console? I played the PC version and it was pretty good. Nice lighting effects and such.

I know I saw the movie a long time ago. But I can't remember a damn thing from it. Never played 2.0 either. Gonna have to make the movie a Netflix rental.

Watching Tron on DVD, the entire picture got digitized with yellow dots from halfway to the end. Something wrong with the disc, "a glitch in the program". Only seems to happen on my PS2.
