They should pay us 4 playing this crap game!
R there ppl who like this game?!
-its all matter of taste!!-
Yeah, I sometimes wonder what the younger players think of the ports of these old arcade games.When I think of the number of all the dollars I dumped into them (and that was when 1 play was 1 quarter, not a dollar or more!)
Definitely NBA Jam!Followed closely by A.P.B.Donut Shop Drivethrough FTW!!!

It's not a fair representation of the original coin-op. I built a MAME cab for TRON a few years back complete with spinner, importing the parts cost me an arm and a leg.
The sound in this XBLA version is terrible. And the controls, I don't know what happened there, control scheme 'C' is the best of a bad bunch. I love the original game more than I should, but I just can't bring myself to play this version, it makes me visibly wince. The emulation must be at fault here (it even has the little bugged graphic in the top right corner just as it should).
Still, it's better than nothing. A local 2 player light cycle mode would have been nice consindering how easy it is to throw together a game of 'Nibbler'.
Certainly TRON XBLA appears to be worst implemented title I've played so far.

I'd just like to say I never played Tron until I downloaded it, but I know if I'd been a yound 'un I'd have loved it in 1983 or whenever it was released (just before I was born). I think it is an actual state of mind - some people appreciate retro games for being of their time, which is where i stand. Others have an equally good argument that the space and time used to get these old games onto XBLA would be better used to develop new games.
But then, you can't argue with the sales figures can you?
I downloaded the demo for this and found it confusing
The 1st level there was a rainbow thing moving toward me that I had to shoot, i got that
then 2nd level there is like 2 racecars and i found it really confusing, just kept crashing
3rd level is i have to shoot a circle and little spiders, kept shooting circle and spiders. Eventually died from spiders even though i kept hitting circle
I can't really say it was bad, but definitely confusing
Try walking into the circle once....magical things start to happen!!

Okay i played the demo some more and beat the level with spiders and the rainbow cone
Now I'm stuck on the tank level and the racecar level

I can understand how someone who didn't growup playing these games would be unimpressed and uninterested with them. Back in the day these games were "amazing state of the art", and a lot of us were into them. Having them now, the full coinop version as a file on your xbox360's hdd is awesome imo.
Agreed. I spent 5 bucks in a single sitting of Tron 20 years ago, easy.
That'd be cool to have a Tron-style cabinent to play this with.
Getting more and more used to the 360 controller, my best thus far is 148K. There are several players with much higher scores...wonder what they're using?
