DESCRIPTION

One of the best multi-genre titles ever created, Tron is based on the 1982 Walt Disney film. The action is divided into four screens: Light Cycles, a Surround-influenced motorcycle contest in which players try to cut off or box in up to three enemy cyclists; MCP Cone: a Breakout-influenced game in which Tron must shoot his way through a rotating forcefield made of blocks; I.O. Tower: a Berzerk-influenced bug-shooter in which Tron has to clear a path of Grid Bugs to the transporter of the I.O. Tower in the center of the screen; and Tank Maze, a Combat-influenced game in which players must navigate a tank around a maze and battle up to five enemy tanks. Colorful graphics, futuristic sounds, tight gameplay, smooth rotary control for aiming, flawless eight-way joystick for maneuvering, and four distinctive, thoroughly enjoyable segments makes Tron a bona fide classic. A certain lack of originality keeps the game from garnering a perfect score. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
