Adventures of Tron is a platform video game produced by Mattel in 1982 for the Atari 2600.[1] It is based on the Disney film Tron.[2] The game was originally intended to be a port of the Intellivisionvideo gameTron: Maze-A-Tron, but it became an original title as development progressed. An Intellivision version of Adventures of Tron was also planned, but it was ultimately cancelled and never saw an official release.[3] Following the loss of the Tron license, the game was re-released as Adventures on GX-12.[4]

In the game the player controls Tron, who has to avoid a variety of enemies whilst navigating a building with four floors. The upper floors are accessible via two elevators on the left and right of the screen. The player can jump down one floor by pressing down, and can jump up in the air by pressing the fire button. A gap with a pole in the center of the floor will drop the player down to the ground level, and must be jumped across in order to get to the other side.

Enemies patrol each floor (all of which are biased on aspects of the film), including the Recognizers and Grid Bugs which travel in groups of three, and the Tanks, which are much larger and fire fast moving projectiles. A unique enemy are the Solar Sailers, which fly in the air, and don’t kill the player on contract, but rather push them backwards, impeding progress and potentially putting the player into harm's way. The player can’t fight back, and thus must evade these enemies by jumping over them or dropping down to a lower floor. The player must collect floating Bits which fly near the ceiling of each floor (the higher the floor the Bit is collected on, the higher the point total).[5]

This was literally my first encounter with electronic games.

I barely understood it, but it fascinated me.

I’m only in my mid 30′s, I got this as a hand me down when I was little.

Picked up a childhood memory, this Mattel Football game from 1978. From a strange brief time in the late 70s when computer chips were cheap but LCDs had not been invented.

The idea of using only the horizontal bars of a 7 segment LED digit display to represent the players was genius! These tiny LEDs were cheap at the time, but power hungry.

This game has a surprising level of detail in the gameplay, including running and passing plays, interceptions, punts, and even sacks.

been thrifting and getting stuff for myself from the antique store around the corner of my home, and got a celestial princess sky dancer from ebay it was the same exact one I had as a kid and I got it for a bargain I still remember the eye whacking I would get as a kid! the furby works and he was very talkative it's a good thing the thrift store didn't check if he worked, cause working furbies cost extra! the barbie I got is the closest I'll have to a trixie mattel doll! some day I'll get that doll when they have it for a good price on ebay! most of my shelves are crowded at the moment with my moms stuff cause she needed a temp place for her little mermaid collection while we have the living room filled with christmas stuff!
