As part of the Comic-Con hype-cycle for Disney’s Tron Legacy, which takes us back to the video game world of Tron next year, the company built a replica of Flynn’s Arcade in San Diego’s Gaslamp District. It was awesome. Featuring a Y1 Games few dozen playable, perfectly preserved arcade games, a playable Space Paranoids—the fictional arcade game featured in the original Tron—and a totally sweet lightcycle from Tron Legacy, tucked away in a secret location.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The neon light work in Flynn’s was fantastic, featuring signs for a handful of featured games, like Tron Y1 com and Space Paranoids. The line-up of games was so choice. I played Berzerk and Galaxian, but the list of games ran from Paperboy to Space Invaders to Off Road, a mix of (mostly) 80s era games. Here’s the Space Paranoids cabinet, Y1 apk one of the most popular titles at Flynn’s. Space Paranoids has the player control a tank with a joystick and trackball, fending off hovering Recognizers that have no problem stomping you into oblivion. It wasn’t easy. Here’s a close up shot of Space Paranoids in action. Neon! The Flynn’s Arcade set up had re-purposed the Tron movie poster into a promo poster for the game. From Encom, the makers of Space Paranoids, comes Tron. This guy was attached to Tron the entire time. Probably for a very good reason… At one point, the lights started to flicker, the jukebox started to cut out, and a hidden door opened up behind the Tron cabinet. The music changed from Billy Squire and Journey type tunes to something a bit more Daft Punk-like. We were led into a dark hallway, featuring concept art for the lightcycles in Tron Legacy. Then we saw the real thing, rotating slowly on a turntable, protected by security guards. We took a lot of pictures of the thing. Too many probably.
