Coin-Op Games 1983 - Discs of Tron (Bally Midway) [MAME]

[mst3kpimp]

ya I actually made my own controller by putting the guts of a ps2 mouse into one of those 5 in one atari retro paddles. do a google search for "mst3kpimp atari paddle tron" to see how I did it.

[mst3kpimp]

i have this game for mame but cant figure out a satisfactory way to recreate the feel of the original controls.  all i have is a ps2 controller, what do you suggest?

[BiffsGamingVideos]

@mst3kpimp build your own controller

[mst3kpimp]

@BiffsGamingVideos thats exactly what I did... I cant put the url here but google "tron-sector homemade tron spinner" to check it out.

[theelusiveone]

@mst3kpimp Thats because the arcade game used a "spinner" control which you really can not buy anywhere. I found the game plays well with a microsoft sidewinder precision pro. If you can't find one you can probably get something like a thrustmaster t flight x. You have many choices with those controllers of where to map the spinner. Good luck.

Say anything? Alright.

Toasters are cool.

[Darrylb500]

HEY! What's your score of the game? :P

I give it an A-. Fun game, never saw the standup version. It was always the environmental one!

I hadn't ever seen one with a curtain on it though. Might've just been something a local arcade owner did that you saw back in the day. Neat!

[chrisz31974]

This looks cool. 

[digioverlord]

wow cool i want one!

[onoff456]

Nice review. Good job!

[ivordie]

i remeber playin the tron game before this one. love yer uploads man.

[crazyclimber80]

What is the song at the end of the videos?

[Corad4]

I actualy NEVER heard of that one! Quite interesting , i know what would make it even awesomer! 2 of the environmental cabinets linked together for 2P versus mode!

Anywho sweet video, can't wait for the next one :D

[saderin]

The deluxe Discs Of Tron cabinet was something awesome to behold when you were a kid. Talk about immersion, that thing was awesome. But I heard from a arcade restorationist that those things are rare and were a huge pain for arcade operators to get rid of. To get rid of one of those things they had chainsaw the thing down to smaller pieces to trash it. A real shame for the thing was a piece of art.

[avenuePad]

Nice! The Tron games were really ahead of their time.

Thanks for the upload! :D

[Electroguy1996]

Tron was and still is badass. I have yet to see Legacy.

[GrimmShadowsII]

I remeber playing this a few years ago when it was a bonus with the game boy advance tron game

[rurudtsafg]

I liked both equally, but I kinda like tron legacy a tad bit better cause Daft Punk made the musical score and it was just so good. but thats just my opinion.

[MoreDakka101]

I was a little disappointed that this wasn't in the original Tron game but it was still a fun stand alone

[SlasherMiniFilms]

Great Review as Always, Man!

[MaximumRD]

Very cool! Gotta love TRON arcade games!

[BiffsGamingVideos]

Which movie did you like better: Tron or Tron Legacy????? 

[MoreDakka101]

@BiffsGamingVideos Tron hands down. Legacy didn't quite seem to get it.

[Soukyugurentai]

@BiffsGamingVideos

I love the original.

[TheAtariJunkie]

@BiffsGamingVideos Neither, I'm actually not a fan of Tron at all.

Well, except for the game Tron: Deadly Discs on the Atari 2600 :)

[lolag3r3r]

@BiffsGamingVideos I think Tron Legacy but Tron was pretty effin awesome.

[lolag3r3r]

@BiffsGamingVideos I liked Legacy more than the original because of the darker feel.

[theelusiveone]

@lolag3r3r Ahhh just noticed you answered the question over here.

[lolag3r3r]

@theelusiveone which question? o.o

[theelusiveone]

@BiffsGamingVideos I liked both of them but if I had to choose 1 I would go with the original. How about you? BTW excellent videos.
