I'm serious, I have never heard of it before this thread.

Well, given how you hated outdated graphics in video games, I doubt you'll like it much

When I was a kid, I used to use a permanant blue marker and draw circles on frisbees, and then chuck 'em at people.
I was in the game!

Re: New Tron Trailer
Well, Reliant, Tron was a movie from 1982. Basically taking place inside a computer world. It featured cutting-edge effects at the time... although yes. They do looka a bit silly nowadays. We don't care, though.

It was one of those films that was just fun, like Spaceballs or The Princess Bride.

Re: New Tron Trailer
Yeah, Reliant, it's the whole "early eighties experience" when personal computers and video games were still a novelty, and the new "electronic" music scene was burgeoning. And you were cool if you had a digital watch.
Right after the invention of fire, basically.

Re: New Tron Trailer
Tron also spawned the greatest movie-based video game ever (all things being relative to their times, of course.)
That was back when you went to an arcade to play video games.

Re: New Tron Trailer
Dude, I LOVED THIS GAME!!!
The lightcycles were my personal favorite, but fighting those "spiders" rocked too.
