Let's try this thread for a couple hundred responses and when we're done with this one, i'll start a new thread. This machine actually saw the absolute least amount of play in my gameroom.
 
I prefer Journey....

Which is also a good game, but a bit over hyped by the brand.
 
Looks cool. Doesn't play well.

It's a show piece, but a terrible game, IMO.
 
I would say that it is the same as people that say that space invaders sucks. They just aren't any good and can't get past the 4th screen/level.

Classic games usually only become addictive when you get to the later levels.

LOL you get EXTRA cool points for starting this thread, the day AFTER you sold your Tron. LOL
 
Tron looks good and plays OK. I enjoyed it when I was a kid. I don't own it now only because I'd be required to restore it and the cost of the art alone scares the hell out of me.
 
Tron is a very cool looking cab to have simply because it's a work of art I bought mine because yes it's one of those cab's you have to have for your collection but I really don't care for the gameplay but enjoy the "looks" of the cab same thing with Journey I bought it because i'm a Journey fan and think the tape player inside that plays seperate ways in attract mode or when you get to the last level is cool but the gameplay is not all that great but then again it's one of those games you have to have in your collection so bottom line even though the game has lot's of hype there's somthing cool about the cab itself.
 
I remember seeing a Tron when it first came out in one of those blacklight arcades way back when. There was tons of people surrounding it and basically the center of attention there! When the dust finally settled; I saw one of the most beautiful cabs ever! Something about the blue hue of lighting sends chills down my spine...

That being said, is the gameplay great? Is it overhyped? Is it overpriced? Well the gameplay to me is not bad. Played ALOT worse and ALOT better! Overhyped, yeah.... but so are other games that I think there alright but people here would put on their top 10 list. Overpriced... Personally I wouldn't pay over a grand for but nowadays, especially now when this is the *vogue* game to have, you might have to... Considering you buy a project and add all the artwork and everything you'll pay that price in the end.....
 
I've owned a lot of games, but never a Tron. The cabinet and artwork package are absolute top notch. I've played it in MAME and it didn't appeal to me at all. That said, I'd probably own one if I got a screamin deal, but I'm not looking for one at all.
