And I hate it! Sorry I just couldn't get the hang of it. The cabinet is cool but the game play IMO is really hard. Who knows.. maybe if I would have played it longer.. I would have enjoyed it more.
 
Where did you play it?

Tron is a difficult game. Until I bought one, I really didn't like it either. Why did I buy one? Because it was $99!!!! Anyway, that was long ago, and it is long since sold, but I enjoyed it alot once I played it more. It took me a long time to get pretty good at it.


If you can find someone that has one, give it another chance. That's just my opinion :)

You buy TRON for the theme, and the cabinet, the game play is what it is.... If you don't like it you saved yourself a bunch of cash because in a couple of months the prices are really going to take off.

That's what Tron owners are hoping anyway.Who knows...the upcoming movie could be really terrible,then Tron owners will literally be giving their cabs away! :D

the prices will inflate prior to the movie coming out and the smart folks will sell then. Yes it's a gamble after the movie is out because if it tanks you will not likely make an inflated amount for the game. Overall the game will still maintain it's value though. It won't drop in value if the movie sucks.
 
Actually I like TRON. Played it as a kid and I guess anytime you played something as a kid even if the game kinda sux it makes it worth playing/owning.
 
I've always liked tron. I always wonder what people who say it sucks dislike about it? Does it bore people to the point they don't care to play it or is it too hard so they dislike the fact that the game kicked their ass?
 
If you didn't play it, or were into Tron as a kid, it won't make any sense and you'll think it sucks. Lucky for me, I don't fall into either of those categories. Mine will never leave my basement...unless I move or die ;)
 
Tron is a fun game once you know the patterns. There is a couple of Trons on Craigslist here in Nor Cal for 2000.

lol!! honestly i thought the same thing the first few times i played but now that i own one and have been playing for awhile, its real fun( but still really hard i will admit)
 
I never really cared for the game in the beginning also.I bought the cab because it's prabably one of the best looking cabs with all the blacklight's, yes it's a hard game but you get used to it in time.

The original Tron game and EDOT already carry a premium due to the original movie. I am not sure a new movie would add yet another premium to these games.

But only time will tell.

The original game is not very hard once you know the patterns, and there are not that many to learn. It's not a particularly challenging game. I think I scored nearly a million points on mine when I got rid of it. That's a lot of Tron....

It was the first time I've ever played a game with the spinner. Very awkward if you are not used to it.
 
If there is anyone under say 38 that says tron sucks, you have zero credibility on the topic.

Well I am 36 and I will say it...... Tron sucks! It always breaks on me. I fired it up the other day and the spinner stopped working. Other than that I love the game. Seems like I just need to spend some quality time reflowing solder and replacing ribbon cables since I have some other issues that clear up on the boards with a little whack.

Tron also sucks because it makes me really want a EDOT which is very expensive. Now I am also on the hunt for a Satans Hollow to put right next to it. Yeah, Tron sucks big time.
 
My only problem with Tron is I can only play it for 10 minutes at a time, definitely a carpall tunnell game.

Oh how I loved the tron experience. But I agree, constantly pressing that button(especially on the cpu cone level) got to be painful. I preferred Discs of tron.
