The sound on this machine is so gorgeous. When it was new, those sounds called attention above all others in the arcade. I got to grow up with arcades stuffed full of games like this, Star Wars vector arcade, Dragon's Layer, Moon Patrol, Battle Zone, Tapper, Asteroids, Centipede, Qbert, Qix, Tempest, Gravitar, some odd old black and white games and even some old electro-mechanical games. The later half of the 80's was pretty great, too. The early 90's still had some real gems in there: Hard Drivin' cockpit version, Klax, Aliens, Super C, G-Loc, Pit Fighter, Hang On, et cetera. Then, arcades turned into giant pink and blue birthday cakes for children. After that, even the malls died (or close enough to it). What a drag.

Despite being so primitive in graphics, sound, and processing power, these early arcade games could be very difficult. I would spend hours playing in Aladdin's Castle while mom shopped in the mall. Managed to get the high score on most games. Of course I would have saved some quarters if the invincibility was turned on but with it on, it would become boring. The "hard" of these games made them great. Thanks for the memories

One of my all time favorite arcade games, there is one still close to me at a nickel arcade that I go play every now and then. Love it. I'm so glad I got to grow up during that golden age of arcade games & home consoles.

The look, feel and sound of this game was top notch for its time. It was really unique to have multiple different games to play at each level, and the music was outstanding.

My high score on this game as a kid is a number I'll never forget: 619,000. I remember going into a book store just to check the Guinness Book of World Records to see if my score was higher than the world record at the time (mid-80s), and it was, by a wide margin. Finding that out made me the happiest 10-year old in the world, LOL.

This game drove me absolutely nuts. I always regretted begging my parents for it.

Awesome! Can't remember the last time I played this, but definitely remember this being one of the coolest sounding games in the arcade orchestra of games at the mall.

I dropped roughly $130 or 520 quarters into this game when I was a kid.

It would be nearly impossible to finish this game without it. My dad was a pro at this game for years

So that's where the Battle City game was based. The similarity is very great. These Tron tanks are more defined in look than the Battle City ones.

If you watch the movie, at one point Grid Bugs are mentioned, shown onscreen via hand-drawn animation and a quite jarring voice over, and then never mentioned or shown ever again, i.e. they serve no purpose whatsoever in the movie. Apparently, that’s because they were only added as a cynical tie-in to this video game.

@DiscoScottie

Lumibear - incorrect. From the wiki: "Their brief appearance in the original film seems confusing because they are never seen or mentioned in the movie again. Earlier drafts of its script allude to a big scene with gridbugs, but the scene was not a part of the final script. However, this explains their appearance in the TRON arcade game; the game was in development before the script was finalized, and its developers pulled the gridbug swarm from an early version."

Player game when I was really young and hadn’t seen the movie. Years later it all made sense.

Just remembering these sounds 41 years later

Sure takes me back. Used to play this but mostly watced watced others. Was a teen and didn't ha e that much money. Would ride my bike 3.5 miles to the arcade in my town and carefully decide for an hour which few games I would spend my few quarters on. Most games could and in less than a minute if you weren't good and woyld end your long bike trip very quickly. (Especially Dragons Lair or Defender)lol. Also especially if you were new at it.

I remember walking to the arcade with a pocket full of quarters twitching my trigger finger to warm up for this game.

Geez we can't all just cheat like that

How quaint the levels are listed in difficulty by computer language name.

Back in the day, one quarter could last you a while once you got good. Well, the video game industry fixed that pretty quik with the games of the late 80's to early 90's, those things gobbled quarters ever 35 seconds seemed like.

This game was awesome !

Stage 1 is very Easy, but Stage 2 after 4 parts are getting more harder than you think.

Skating rink 1984. I sank so many quarters in that damn thing. I also had a trash 80 with the knockoff called "Kron" lol.

Tron movie July 9 1982 arcade is like The Tron 2.0 Killer App gameboy advance in October 19 2004.

What gives? I own one of these machines, and I didn't know you could change the difficulty level.... I guess I better read the book that came with it. I have never played this game on an easier level! I've been playing it the hard way my whole life! The farthest I can get, is like, halfway through the 4th level! I bought a machine because PlayStation 1 classic arcade games,,, the controls weren't right! Same with Spyhunter you couldn't "feather" the gas pedal. I like to shift into high gear and then let off the gas. So I bought the machine.

How did you become invincible?

One of the best games at that time.

Why did the game not skip level 3 - BASIC if he died at least once on level 2 - COBOL? Instead of the game going to a hard level (level 3 - BASIC), it should of gone to an easier level with the red recognizer tanks and slow moving walls on the MCP cone to give him a break, and then the harder level for level 4 - BASIC. Level 3 - BASIC is only if you did not die on level 1 or level 2 at all, or other wise it has to be Level 4 - BASIC.

I was real good at this game but only if it was not set to skip difficulty levels. I liked the Tron Music it played. It's not easy to play on MAME because you don't have the analog knob to aim with.

Oh by the way resistance it's like wearing armor you can only take some damage.(you would still lose lives afterwards).
