Review - Tron (Arcade, 1982)


This review is part of a series focused on games I spent time with during my most recent trip to Funspot. To view the complete list so far, click the Funspot tag at the end of this post!

Bally/Midway's arcade adaptation of Tron was released in 1982 as a tie in for the film, released the same year. Tron includes four short mini games, each of which must be cleared before players can move on to a new difficulty level. Each game is unique in design but lasts only a few seconds, making Tron feel like some sort of slower precursor to Nintendo's Wario Ware series. It would be followed a year later by Discs of Tron, a completely separate game focusing on only one type of gameplay.
