This coin door would be an excellent addition to an existing TRON or a TRON restoration. The auction does not include the outside frame for the door. Here is a brief description of the game: TRON Description: Based on scenes from the Walt Disney movie of the same name, this game has four distinct games per level: Lightcycles, Grid Bugs, Tanks, and the MPC Cone. All four games must be completed before you can advance to the next level. Bally Midway, the Tron maker, released 89 different machines in our database under this trade name, starting in 1981. Other machines made by Bally Midway during the time period Tron was produced include Satan's Hollow, Blue Print, Super Pac-Man, Bump 'n Jump, Roto, Solar Fox, Wizard Of Wor, Adventures of Robby Roto, The, Lazarian, and Xs and Os. Cabinet Information: The uniquelyshaped upright cabinet featured characters and objects from the movie on the sideart, while the control panel and much of the other cabinet surfaces were painted with circuit lines similar to those seen in many of the films set designs. The control panel also featured a pair of blacklights, one located just above the controls behind a clear plastic shield and one underneath the panel together, these caused the translucentblue joystick and the fluorescent paint used on the cabinet circuit lines to glow. In a darkened arcade, the effect was quite eeriePCabaret or mini and cocktail cabinet versions were also produced. Cabinet Style Weights and Measures: Type Upright/Standard Cocktail Cabaret/Mini Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs: In the Lightcycle stage, the cycles have a fixed behavior pattern for each stage and so, like IPacManI, it is possible to find a pattern of your own which will defeat the cycles every time on that level. In the Tanks stage, if no part of your tank is touching the white line running through the center of each corridor, the enemy tanks fire cannot hit you. If you are careful, you can move halfway into the central transporter diamond, just far enough to get off the white line, then pick the enemy tanks off at will. Note the tanks can still ram you, though. Game Play: There are four distinct games per level. Light Cycles: The player controls a Light Cycle that leaves a blue trail. The joystick controls the direction of travel and the trigger controls the speed of the bike. The object is force the enemy Light Cycles yellow to run into each other or the trails while avoiding crashing. Grid Bugs: Destroy the Grid Bugs and escape into the I/O Tower before the timer runs out. The stick controls the movement of your character and the whirlygig controls the direction of fire. Tanks: Destroy all enemy tanks or Recognizers to clear the level. The stick controls the movement of your tank and the whirlygig controls the direction of fire. MCP Cone: Destroy the blocks similar to Breakout and move your character into the cone to clear the level. A bonus is awarded if you destroy all the blocks. The stick controls the movement of your character and the whirlygig controls the direction of fire. Miscellaneous: Licensor of the TRON name and concept were licensed from Walt Disney, the makers of the film.POne of the more unique touches in the game is that the levels, instead of being simply designated Level 1, 2, 3, etc., were named after programming languages you start out at RPG and advance through PASCAL, BASIC, ASSEMBLER, etc. until you reach the USER level.
