Tron Deadly Discs

Greetings Programs!

Today we'll be taking a look at the first of 3 Mattel video games published the same year as the original Tron movie: Tron: Deadly Discs. Originally released for the Intellivision console, it was also made for the Atari 2600 (under Mattel's M Network label) and the Mattel Aquarius (although this was actually ported in 1983). Each version has different aspects that will be covered in a bullet list down below. 

The Intellivision version was programmed by Don Daglow and Steven Sents. I couldn't find much on Sents unfortunately. Daglow, however, programmed notable games like "Utopia" and "Dungeon" and even went on to found the now defunct studio Stormfront Studios Inc. They were responsible for games such as Neverwind Nights and several Tony La Russa baseball games. The Intellivision version came with the cartridge, an instruction manual, 2 overlays for the controller, and a nifty little flyer with deals for the movie.

As far as I can find, the Atari 2600 came with just a cartridge and an instruction manual. The Aquarius version came with the cartridge, instruction manual, 2 controller overlays, and a keyboard overlay. 

All three games follow the same premise: you play as Tron, locked in the game grid and forced to fight against endless waves of enemies. Intellivision Master managed to get 19 million points, which I believe is the current world record! The enemies will appear through doors around the edge of the arena and you can keep them "jammed" open by throwing your disc at them. You can use said doors to travel to the opposite side of the map if there's a corresponding door. Basic enemies will attack by throwing their own disc; they're not harmful if Tron touches the enemies themselves (an exception would be the Guards in Intellivision and Intellidiscs). You have the ability to recall your disc in mid-fight, but it'll be rendered harmless as it returns.   

During my research I stumbled upon Intellidiscs- a fan conversion of the Intellivision version for the Atari 8-bit/5200. It was published by Phaser Cat Games in May 2021 and programmed by Ryan Whitman, with sounds by Bobby Clark. At the initial release, you could actually purchase a physical cartridge that came in a custom box with an instruction manual and custom controller overlay. Wired-Up Retro has a great unboxing and playing of it. According to the site, this cartridge could be played on North America and NTSC TV sets. Don't worry, you can download the ROM for free from their site as well! This version also features battle mods, where you can battle up to 4 players. The enemies follow the same format as the Intellivision (shown below, just with different names). There are developer diaries if you wish to see some behind the scenes -> here.

What’re your thoughts? Were you able to play it during its glory days?

Here's link for a side by side comparison of gameplay for each version!

Want to try it out? Here you can download a ROM of the Intellivsion or Atari 2600 version, or try the Intellivision version out on archive.org!

Intellivision (review with gameplay)

Distinct enemies, each with own abilities: 

Warriors- light blue, 1 hitpoint 

Leaders- appear after 10,000 points, dark blue, special disks, 1hp, can increase other warriors' skills. Introduces brown (double damage) and white discs (lock-on)

Bulldogs- purple, move slower, 2 hitpoints, less accurate

Guards- orange, white paralyzing sticks to immediately end the game, 4hp, appear after 1 million points

Recognizers: will take out the usable doors in between waves after a certain amount of doors are jammed, 1 touch is instant death, will fire a stun attack to freeze Tron for duration of knocking out doors, can disable it by attacking the "eye" when it turns white causing it to leave at the bottom offscreen. Exclusive to this version. 

3 different speeds for the disc   

To play, you can use both of the controllers- one for disc direction, other to move Tron around. Otherwise the typical controller would be with one controller and the number pad would control the disc direction [insert pic of instruction manual] 

Start out with 3 hitpoints, 1 life, move slower if got hit, restart at each wave

Progression- 20,000: increase HP to 4, 100,000: increase HP to 5 

Warrior point value increases with your score 

Tron is red for some reason 

Features 16 directions (very fancy for the time)

Atari 2600 (review with gameplay)

No recognizers

Doors close after 1 use

Enemies only have difference in color and each color is assigned a specific point amount (for instance, the basic light green warrior is worth 10 points, while the gold warriors are worth 800 points) 

Everything controlled with joystick

Once a warrior is defeated, another will spawn in 10 seconds unless you defeat the last warrior of that wave

Have 5 hp, regained at the end of each wave. Only 1 life

Mattel Aquarius (gameplay)

Similar gameplay as the previous- tossing disc to derezz 3 enemy soldiers at a time in waves

No recognizers

Doors situated in specific spots that can be left open if you attack them, will close once you use them 

Tron can gain a shield- can use 10pts to gain it (from what I can tell based on gameplay)

Enemies worth 50pts, only one type (red colored) 

Atari 8-bit/5200 fan game

Published under the name "Intellidiscs" by Phaser Cat Games

A fan conversion of the Intellivision released in May 2021, for North America and NTSC TV sets according to their site. 

Can download the ROM for free and used to be able to buy the cartridge (came with instruction manual, custom overlay for controller, actual cartridge) -> here on their official website 

Complete with a 4 person battle mode 

Programming by Ryan Whitmer, Music/SFX by Bobby Clark

Game plays similar to original Intellivision version- recognizer (identifier in this one) takes out the doors, can go through door multiple times, different colored enemies with different abilities

Can block/crouch 

Difficulty ramp (enemies come faster)

hey I've been listening to the yard for about a year and a half and I want to get more into it ifywim do I just start watching old vods to catch up or is there any content u can recommend as a baseline must-watch

this is by no means a comprehensive list because i've only really been watching the yard since dec 2022 and my 2021 stint in lud viewing was brief and casual (didn't know what i had) but it is a fucking long list so i'll keep it under the cut. included stuff that maybe i wouldn't classify as a must watch but i wanted to include it so you can pick and choose what interests you

PODCASTS - I know for a fact there are other podcast appearances out there that I don't know of but here are a few:

the yard x wine about it - it's just the four of them and qt which means good times! this is an essential imo

there are a few eps of fear& that they appear on! specifically rec the ep with nick and aiden and the ep with ludwig and aiden. there are also a few eps with ludwig and slime (not at the same time) if you're interested in those

i've watched aiden on three different interview podcasts all are worth a watch to me: karat interview, across the bar, and good griefed (audio a little scuffed on this one but it's cute)

fucking loved nick's ep of across the bar because his outlook on creativity is super relatable to me. he also did something with safety third that i've been meaning to watch but haven't yet!

VIDEOS AND STREAMS - there's a lot here but i'll try to describe what's what

mogul money ft the yard - this is the full vod, there's also a cut down video. extremely fun watch

nick was also on mogul money live (first game specifically) and he and aiden appear in the bts video a little bit

qt posted vlogs from italy! they're all fun watches and there's some good moments. one, two, three, four

qt and aiden halloween gingerbread house video. ludwig and aiden kiss in this one. i think the full vod is in god's hands unfortunately

qt and aiden make shit in an ezbake oven and make the guys eat it. fun little video. idk if the vod is out there somewhere or not

there's a cut down version of this too but the full stream of qt having all the guys do a gingerbread house competition is very peak

lud did a shit load of taste test videos with the guys for a slim jim sponsor. this might not be all of them but here are the ones i cold find off rip (fruit, cheese, chocolate, water, steak)

ludwig has done a shitload of ylyl streams with slime that you can find and honestly i have a horrible mediashare allergy so i haven't watched a lot of them but i have watched the one they did with aiden and the one with everyone but idk where the full vod is for the latter

from ludwig's fortnite mondays, there was a week where slime and nick played with jerma and sapnap. idk if any of the others posted the vod but here's sapnap's

the subathon has a shitload of stuff that i can't even begin to link but if you want the experience of the dcom series without subbing to tier 2 they watched the truman show starting about an hour thirty into this vod, tho it takes a hot minute to get everything lined up with the time stamps

halloween po unboxing where them + qt dress up as characters from scooby doo. nick looks frankly obscene as velma this is a great vod

how many flashlights does it take to cook an egg is exactly what it sounds like. it's lud slime and nick ft a little bit of yingo

they play the family feud game together in these two vods: just them and against miz/otk (can't stand miz but it was still good)

RECENT STUFF - aka stuff you probably know about or have seen because you've been around a year and a half but i figured i'd include them anyway since they happened off the pod

two months ago they all played fortnite on lud's stream and it was awesome

both the show matches of the ludwig tarik invitationals are worth watching if you're into valo! the first one is team mogul v otv and they're split up in the second. if the timestamps are broken it's 2h30 in both vods

the rivals 2 tournament is fun! i don't understand shit about fighting games but i love to see the boys play

cdawgva ski vod with lud and aiden from the japan trip! there's also a cut down version of youtube but i found it a fun watch

recency bias alert: they all played in creator dodgeball

the qt and aiden winter cocktail tierlist stream was so good like genuinely a stream of all time to me. ludwig hangs around for parts of it

the yard doing the dougdoug fast food challenge is a MUST WATCH! they celebrate and they suffer what could be more beautiful

otv's fear pong video with them is so fucking good. SO GOOD!

and finally i guess i should mention beerio because it just happened LOL

I've recently rewatched Mclarens Unboxed from Abu Dhabi GP 2020 (because apparently i enjoy self harm), so i wanted to hear your thoughts on Lando's and Carlos' race together, maybe some post race feelings?

because the video itself is a bittersweet watch, i can't imagine how it was in real life that day

Ooooof I just rewatched before I went to answer this ask and it still hurts tbh. 0/10 would not recommend watching the farewell video to Ferrari afterward.

I'm sure it was also extremely bittersweet in person as well. On the one hand, you had them getting to celebrate bringing McLaren back up to p3 in the constructors', and on the other hand, you had everyone saying goodbye to Carlos. I think there are a lot of small moments that really build for me (apart from the "fewawi friends" moment from a race prior). Lando looking like he wants to be anywhere else during Carlos' speech in the garage; Carlos saying he's already said everything he needs to Lando, and that they need to keep their relationship private; Lando and Carlos quietly reading the messages the team left for Carlos, etc. They laughed through the helmet swap, but it's clear in the messages they wrote to each other that there's a lot of feelings hiding under the surface.

I think it was incredibly hard for Lando specifically, which partly explains the growing pains he had with Daniel for half of the 2021 season. Really shows how close he and Carlos were (and still are) to each other- especially during covid while they were all cooped up together at the races. I really think it's evident that they and their personal teams forged a bond over those two years that they'll never have with another teammate again.

I posted a short video of me unboxing the Pyramid Head that was a gift from my mom -- she ordered it at the end of 2021, passed away in 2023 and the figure showed up at the beginning of 2024.

I really wish she could have seen the SH2 remake... she would have absolutely loved it. <3

[f1-birb]

Another person who I feel like played such a huge role in the start of Lando's time at McLaren and who I miss dearly is Charlotte. I forget which race it was, but it was really cute to see that photo her and Lando took together at one of the races the W Series was at as well. Idk I just loved seeing her in some of the Unboxed content and such - she really was there to celebrate some of the highest moments of his F1 career so far with him, and she was there with encouragement or just some general "stop being so hard on yourself and get your head in the race" mentality during some of the lowest moments of his F1 career.

Charlotte 🥺 I genuinely miss her so much!

She was definitely a major player in getting Lando to where he is now. She looked after him, especially during the early days when handling press was something Lando was clearly uncomfortable with, but more than that she was a huge cheerleader for him and that carried on until she left McLaren (and she still is, she posted after his podium at Imola this year too)

Her reactions to him doing well, whether it was qualifying or podiums or just overall good results were always so incredibly heartwarming, the amount of times you saw her and Jon hugging in the garage and then rushing to hug Lando, always cheering and screaming the loudest (which is hard to do considering how much Lando's whole team loves him)

When Lando got his podium in Monaco and a fan caught this video I legit nearly cried it's so sweet

And after the heartbreak of Sochi, when Lando was crying and she was there for him 1000% and her keeping him a little hidden so he could wipe his tears mostly off camera

Another moment I love so much is in the back of the Abu Dhabi 2021 unboxed video, while Lando and Daniel talk at the end, you see Jon, Jose and Charlotte hugging in the background and it's so cute I could cry (and have)

As you can now see I also have a lot of feelings about Charlotte

[cassyapper]

Cass I wish I could easily explain the Dream situation but it's the culmination of literal years of him mistreating and grooming people. The TLDR of EXCLUSIVELY the current insane events is.

-> Nicolas Cantu, voice actor for Gumball Watterson (the Amazing World of Gumball), was for a moment a minecraft youtuber under the handle JunkyJanker. For years the main thing people talked about wrt his minecraft career was that he beat James Charles in Minecraft Monday. However, he's been in the creator space and thus would have access to Minecraft creators.

-> In iirc 2021 Nicolas Cantu called Dream's merch shitty on Twitter. Dream's merch was in fact shitty, but Dream and his fans made his life hell over it, including taking shots at(?) his dead dog(?) Events I was not present for since I very intentionally keep Dream away.

-> more recently, people come forward with leaked snapchat messages where Dream is being sexual with minors. An adult he was Also being sexual with leaks snapchat messages confirming that the account and typing style were his. This is barely addressed until the last few weeks.

-> Dream REALLY BADLY tries to defend himself from the pedo accusations on stream. It doesn't go well for him. Shortly after, a ton of his remaining "friends" from the DSMP finally outright unfollow him. Cue the wave of "war is over" tiktoks from fans of the content creators who unfollowed him.

-> Directly after failing to defend himself on stream, Dream posts a tiktok "unboxing" a minecraft t-shirt that has the text "I love miners" on it. This is quickly deleted, but his lawyers are doubtlessly sweating. Nobody knows why the fuck he'd post that.

-> Nicolas Cantu calls him out for making pedo jokes while under accusations.

-> Dream posts a blackmail video in response to this. Said video is from an Uber ride where Cantu, then 19, is visibly drunk and manic, and Dream is clearly pressing his buttons. In said video he calls Dream a faggot. When Dream keeps pushing him, Cantu punches him.

-> Dream clearly expects this to be a hate mob against Cantu. It is not. People are mostly wondering why he, an adult well above the drinking age, is in an Uber with a drunk 19 year old. And why he's recording said drunk 19 year old. People call him THE FUCK out because he clearly was sitting on this video for some time.

-> While Dream is failing to handle this situation he's made for himself, a MCYT Burner account posts leaked dms and recordings from his snapchat of him moaning at a minor. The owner of said account files a police report in the state of Florida because said leaks apparently contain CP.

And THAT'S where we are currently.

-Music Anon (God I want off Mr Bones' wild ride)

holy fucking shit

well i appreciate greatly u taking the time to write this out for me music anon i love you beyond dearly

god dream is a piece of shit i hope if nothing else, that court case gets just enough steam to scare him into logging off for good cause jesus fuck

[neuroticphysiologist]

what we know about paw patrol the mighty movie

(will always update, so if you want to reblog, it's best to do it after september 29)

christian corrao did well in all paws on deck, so yeah, confirmed that he's marshall

crying because it's not lilly bartlam as skye. clues are showing that it's mckenna grace. at first i was worried because i've heard her normal voice before. but because of spirit untamed, i'm sure she'll do great

callum shoniker returns as rocky

i knew luxton handspiker will be voicing rubble. he did well in rubble and crew

nylan parthipan as zuma? interesting...

- liberty with superpowers 😮 some sources say she has the power of elasticity, kinda like elastigirl from the incredibles. but we'll see

I purchased Rugrats (2021) on DVD on Wednesday from Amazon and made an unboxing/unwrapping video. Tik Tok and YouTube saw it first. Rugrats has been removed on Paramount Plus so the only solution is to buy the DVD set of Rugrats. Sad to see the show canceled so soon as it had so much potential being a complete remake of a classic 90’s show but I will always have the memories of it and the DVD’s 📀👶🍼📺

Tesla Talisman 306u Vintage Radio

Date: June 14, 2021 Hello! How are you?

It’s been a while since I wrote anything here because, well, you know, I’ve been busy and all that. My time is spent working, volunteering, and sleeping these days.

Recently I was listening to a broadcast/podcast from Radio Slovakia International about the Tesla Talisman 308, a radio that was made in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s – you can check out the episode here.

The story fascinated me and, naturally, I took to eBay to see if I could find one.

There weren’t any 308 models available but I did find a 306u model which, I understand, is the British equivalent.

The lost the auction on the first one I saw by £2. Then I saw another and after being made a offer of £115, I decided to go for it. Let’s just say it’s now mine, although I have run out of space to put it.

This afternoon, whilst waiting for some extra bits from Amazon, I cobbled together an improvised aerial with speaker wire, and received my first station – Absolute Radio (or in old terms, Virgin 1215).

Here’s a video of the unboxing and, below that, some photos of the 306u.

Title: Social Media Marketing: An Untapped Opportunity for Manufacturers Immersive technological shifts have not just reshaped everyday life, but also hold unprecedented implications for various industries and professional landscapes, including manufacturing. A standout, fast-evolving tool within this technological explosion is social media marketing – a goldmine of untapped opportunities for manufacturers. It is much more than just a trend; it is a fundamental business practice that many are yet to fully capitalize on. Social media marketing for manufacturers provides a platform to not just share content but to build relationships, encourage dialogue, increase brand visibility, and foster customer loyalty. Given that an estimated 3.6 billion people globally are predicted to use social media in 2021, manufacturers can tap into this platform to connect with both their existing customer base and potential new prospects. However, many manufacturers often overlook social media marketing or struggle to recognize its inherent value for their sector. But the facts speak volumes. Hootsuite’s 2020 Global State of Digital report revealed that more than half of the global online population use social media to research products. This means, if you're a player in the manufacturing arena without a solid social media game plan, you might be missing out on excellent opportunities to grow. The transformation from traditional outbound methods like trade shows and cold calls to more modern, inbound practices like content marketing and social media advertising has been rapid. This shift offers manufacturing companies an efficient medium for influencing potential customers during the consideration and decision stages of their buyer's journey. LinkedIn, for example, has emerged as an essential tool for professionals in the manufacturing sector. It provides an ideal platform for manufacturers to showcase their products, promote thought leadership, and connect with industry peers. Similarly, platforms like Instagram and YouTube allow businesses to share visual content that demonstrates their processes and products. From unboxing and how-to videos, behind-the-scenes access, to live Q&As on Facebook or Instagram, manufacturers have a gamut of options to create engaging narratives that resonate with their audience. Moreover, strategic usage of relevant industry keywords within the content can significantly enhance the visibility and reach of these posts. Optimizing your social media marketing strategy with SEO best practices can also dramatically improve your search engine ranking, reinforcing your brand's digital presence. Tools like Google Keyword Planner can help you identify popular terms that your target audience uses when searching for your products or services. In conclusion, social media marketing's potential to impact revenue and brand development for manufacturers remains largely untapped. By effectively harnessing the power of social media platforms and capitalizing on modern SEO practices, manufacturers can significantly improve their brand visibility, customer engagement, and conversion rates. If done right, social media marketing can serve as a catalyst for transformative business growth within the manufacturing industry. In the digital era, failure to evolve with changing times often equates to getting left behind. Thus, manufacturers should seize the multifaceted advantages of fusing social media marketing and SEO best practices, turning these into a competitive edge and leveraging the infinite opportunities that lie within this untapped goldmine.
