[NiN^_^NiN]

They really should of used the vector game in the movie.

I love vector games

I saw a vector asteroids in perfect condition and it just blew me away how the vector monitor displayed the game.

Mame will never get anywere neer that effect but it was so beautiful *sniff*

Now i wonder if foley will try to make TRON the arcade game his too  lol

"I wanna save TRON
"I wanna save TRON"
"I wanna save TRON"
"I wanna save TRON"
"I wanna save TRON"
"I wanna save TRON"

(saves TRON)

"Wait. I hate TRON!"

That "grid bug" pic was worth the price of admission tho. Good luck on the Spy Hunter!

Damn Straight!

Well call me John Kerry because I have changed my mind.  I am going to see this project through.  More to come...

[Flinkly]

this is worse than watching a soap opera. 

it's always right before the commercial break, someone says something completly suprising or someone dies, and then you get back from the commercial break only to find everything as usual again...at least that is what my girlfriend tells me. 

but really, are you just tempting the rest of us who would love to be doing this project?  or are you just trying to keep us interested in your restoration?  whatever it is, i guess it's working...

I bet 1HSC realized that he didn't like SpyHunter.

[1hookedspacecadet]

yea, yea...go ahead, get it outa your system...

[Flinkly]

not to sound greedy, but not only would fixing up a cabinet to perfection be fun, but the price you would fetch for something like that...that's good enough for me.

 Well, its good to see that the project will resume.    Hate to see a tron de-rezzed.   

  Tron is one of those games that many either hated or loved for some reason.   I personally like the game.   The dual controls are challenging and fun.   The levels get very hard, very fast.   My only complaint - besides overall difficulty... is the lightcycles.   They are way too hard on the higher levels.  They are more like a gamble than a skill test.   Still, thats the way the real tron world would have been... so maybe its fitting. heh   Even with its near impossible difficulty, its always fun to try.   Favorite is the Tank stage.

 Btw - a tip:   On the tank level, you can drive thru the center of
the level and it acts as a teleporter.   The other tanks do not use it.  You can also use it to shoot thru it and kill enemies on the other side of it.   Use the teleport as a last resort tho - as you never know where it puts you.

 Vector Tron?   Sounds cool.   But would be even less detail than already has.   I think they chose a nice format for the game.  I also think its much more fun than the superior looking discs of tron.
(tho that game would have rocked with linkable cabnets for 2players)

 As for the comment about 'Kerry'... I will say this...   I didnt really know much about him or bush... but bush's antics quickly made me pro kerry no matter what.   

 Some had said that Kerry changes his mind about things often... as if that is a bad thing.  I personally think its a good thing. 

 I would rather a leader be willing to change thier minds especially if they found out that they were worng or there was a better sollution.   
 
 Some think that lack of strong opinion shows a lack of leadership and strength.   Thats the biggest load of crap ever.

  Tall skyscrapers have to be built in such a way as to allow them to be flexible and sway... else strong winds or quakes would rip them appart.   Same goes for people. 

  The strongest people are those who can change immediately.  Adapt on the fly.  Be willing to swallow thier egos.. and be willing to admit they were wrong... and to grow, and change. 

 political rant /off

yeah, I wish I hadn't taken the shot at Kerry.  When you take a long look at Bush's (or any other politician's) background you quickly realize few are on the straight and narrow.

Yeah I agree about the game it has an amazing cabinet design/art/lighting but the game is very shallow.Played it last night for the first time with a spinner which made things a bit better.I have always like the spider stages because some of the close calls I had in the arcade just squeezing into the exit with a spider on your heals.The tank stage is cool and can be fun .The light cycles are fun but yeah in the later stages its insane with three bikes attacking you.I think personally like the tron the arcade mainly from my memories of being young and loving the movie and in turn I always got excited seeing that blue lit up joystick with the purple light behind it.For some odd reason I always look on ebay for project tron cabinets as well as craigslist,have no idea why I look for it other than I just do....
Nostalgia I guess...

[1hookedspacecadet]

Arrrggg - After a completely frustrating afternoon tying to troubleshoot the monitor, and eventually cracking two of the light covers in the process, I am finally giving up on this piece of crap. I will not suffer another round of eBay sales so tonight I decided to do the honorable thing and put this game to rest, internals and all.

RIH you piece of junk.

If that is real why not just give it to someone? Why destroy it? I don't get it?

As mentioned in the OTHER post.... I hope this is April Fools!
