I Love Tron 2.0
Tron 2.0 totally rocks. I've always been a fan of the movie, in a geeky sort of way, and had seen the PC game when it came out in 2003. This Christmas, I snagged a copy, thanks to my bro-in-law. Oh baby...light cycles, disc hurling, pulsating neon lighting...who needs Halo? I logged 8 hours of game time in two sittings...now I remember why I try to stay away from PC games.
As we continue to dream of an eventual re-make of the 1982 classic (you're all with me, right? Right??), here are a few related amusements to keep us occupied in the mean time:
- Tron 2.0: The 1st-person shooter-quest pictured right, that rocks. $10 on Amazon, baby.
- BM Tron: A 2-dimentional, simple light cycle race. (Closely resembles Snafu, for all you Intelivision gamers.)
- Discs of Tron: An arcade game from the 80s where you hurl discs at a guy across the room, who's simultaneously hurling them at you. I used to love this game, and may even hunt one down when my mid life crisis hits.
- Tron: Another arcade game...but a weak one, involving a combination of light cycles, disc throwing, MCP-demolition. Cheesy graphics, meager game play.
- GL Tron: A 3-dimensional light cycle race. This actually looks really cool. I haven't tried it yet.
- Tron Guy: Wow. This is wierd enough to make me stop writing this post.
Back to music.

I think Tron man could lose a few pounds and get rid of the mustache.
Jeff Bridges was much cuter.
I want to see Tron the movie in it's original 70mm format someday.

Agreed. What self-respecting light cyclist would allow his gut to hang over the handle bars of his bike? I do respect him for creating the neon-lit suit, though.
It's be cool to see the original Tron, indeed. But I also wouldn't mind seeing a Watchowski (sp?) brothers rendition of it... :)

Better yet, picture this:
Tron vs. Neo (from Matrix)
