PressureCooker2600 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I was always wondering if anyone was ever or is currently doing a homebrew for the Atari 2600 of the original Tron arcade game? That was one of the best coin-ops ever. It's my older brother's all-time favorite...it'd be bad-ass to surprise him with one because he's always saying hes going to get one eventually. But back to this discussion...as far as I know, there have been no translations of the arcade game to any system that I can think of. All I have on the Atari is Discs of Tron and Adventures of Tron and neither is as exciting and pulse-pounding as the arcade version. The light-cycle level was always my favorite...just loved it.

Recycled Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 This seems to be an on going topic. ....but the thing is....is Tron REALLY as great as we remember it? Believe me, I filled up that machine with quarters back then. It's been how long, 24 years now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pumped quarters in that thing until I actually won. I had sucky reflexes back then. For some reason they've gotten better and more honed with time, though a bit shaky sometimes.

I always got slaughtered on the second wave light cycle screen. the first one was easy...just make a question mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
