Do you remember the first time you played TRON, or Discs of Tron? Did you get to play them in the arcade? Share your stories here. For me it was in the mid-80's - late 80's I played both, at Disneyland's 2-story Starcade 😎
My favorite arcade of all time was Gorf in 1981. When I first discovered Tron in 1982 I thought it was a new version of Gorf. Didn’t know it was a movie until later and was blown away after seeing it. It made the game even more enjoyable having a backstory to the game. I was 11-12 in 1981 and being dropped off at the mall on a Friday night was an amazing time. Free range kids with access to food Arcades and movies. 5 bucks would cover it all in the day! ❤
Love hearing stories like this, thanks for sharing. I was little the first time I played it, at Disneyland's Starcade. But i'd seen the film - my father is a total Scifi Geek - so I absolutely loved the game, mainly light cycles :))
The 1982 TRON film actually did turn a good profit. D$ was just pissed because it didn't make nearly as much as E.T. Of course, no movie at the time made the kind of money E.T. did. Both arcade games were great, as was TRON Deadly Discs. Trivia: You can still dodge Recognizers if you make it far enough in the 1982 TRON arcade game.
both tron and disc I first played at a bally's alladins castle (tokens) pretty much around the time they came out, 82/83. Off topic but I first played dragons lair right in the same month in came out in 1983, while on vacation in disneyland. not at the star cade but at a miniature golf/arcade that was across the street from a hotel and disneyland while on vacation
I have the tron arcade1up. It worked fine until they put out a firmware update, which caused the spinner's functionality to stop working. I have to use a keyboard connected to the usb port inside the machine if I want tron's arm to spin. x and b move his arm left and right, I think. Just wishing there was a way to remap the controls using a keyboard.
As a kid of the 80's, i can say i didnt care much for the movie or the game. I remember thinking the original arcade game was a waste of my tokens. Everyone has an opinion i guess. Interestingly i dont even remember "the discs of tron."

To this day, I have no idea what the TRON game/movie is actually about.
YESSSSS! Arcade vs console is back!!

Great Video!!! Tron was always kinda mystifying to me growing up, I knew it was cool but I didn't understand it at all lol
One of the greatest LORE to date.
