Tron is just 4 goofy mini-games. But it's a cool looking cab when you have it all working (black light & all).

Do you want a fun game or a showpiece?

I'm buying a Super Sprint and Spy Hunter.  I could purchase an additional unit... Tron/Track & Field... but

A)  It appears the Tron had some issues.
B)  Not that big of a Tron fan.
C)  My wife is ALREADY pissed that I bought 2 more arcades and if I brought home 1 more, I'll be sleeping in the garage with my new arcade games.

Depending on the price, buy Tron even if it's not your pick.  Sell it here, then use the money to buy 2-3 of the others you might want.

Simple!

Tron, honestly, is a mediocre game at best.  It's the license, the controller, and the cab that are hella cool.

Agreed.

I disagree. I think it's a blast, but that of course is only my opinion.

Whats the current status on the purchases?  And, how high priced was the Tron?



The reason you should have gone with Tron would be definately the fact that it holds its value and well.....you see the response the people here(those knowledgeable about arcades) had when Tron was mentioned.



I would have said try for the Operation Wolf, as well.  Classic shooter.  The seller had a reeeeal nice collection in his hands.
