I'm sure people seeing it for the first time now may not understand what it was like to see back then, but I remember thinking it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. I'm not sure what I'll think of Tron 2.0 (currently in production, although , but I can say that I'm really, really, really excited about Monolith's Tron 2.0 FPS. Hopefully neither will be rushed to make their planned 2003 release date. And for those interested in a tease, this site's URL is flashed on the DVD's intro screen.

Console Game of the Evening: Tron Deadly Discs for the Atari 2600. This game wasn't nearly as cool as the two Tron arcade games, but it was a great deal of fun regardless.
