Tron is an arcade game released in 1982. It is loosely based on the motion picture of the same name. It was followed by Discs Of Tron.
Gameplay
There are four distinct games per level, which can be selected from a pie-sectioned menu screen. Each of the four games must be completed to move on to the next level. When a game is completed, its pie section turns black and it cannot be selected again until all four games are completed.
- Light Cycles: The player controls a Light Cycle that leaves a blue trail. The joystick controls the direction of travel and the trigger controls the speed of the bike. The object is force the enemy Light Cycles (yellow) to run into each other or the trails while avoiding crashing.
- Grid Bugs: Destroy the Grid Bugs and escape into the I/O Tower before the timer runs out. The stick controls the movement of your character and the spinner controls the direction of fire.
- Tanks: Destroy all enemy tanks or Recognizers to clear the level. The stick controls the movement of your tank and the spinner controls the direction of fire. The pink diamond in the center of the maze allows your tank to teleport to a random location.
- MCP Cone: Destroy the blocks (similar to Breakout) and move your character into the cone to clear the level. A bonus is awarded if you destroy all the blocks. The stick controls the movement of your character and the spinner controls the direction of fire.
