![]() With TRON Legacy we have seen some nods to arcade culture although as times have changed we see less arcade influence at work here. The popularity of arcades was also prevalent throughout the entire film, from Flynn’s arcade to stuff in the virtual world being based upon arcade concepts. ![]() It’s not clear if the arcade game Discs of Tron is added into that or not. ![]() Back when the original movie came out, arcade popularity was still riding a high and movie trivia suggests that the arcade game TRON which was based upon the movie actually grossed more than the movie itself (I believe that is the case as I’ve heard that elsewhere although IMDB’s trivia isn’t perfect as also under TRON they claim that 3D game engines would have been invented in 1994 when in fact the arcade title I, Robot from 1983 had a 3D polygon engine). Even though the original was not a perfect film, it has always been a favorite of mine and it implanted in my head the idea of being an arcade operator one day. I’ve not made it a secret that I am very excited for the upcoming Disney movie TRON Legacy.
