Comments:

Known as 'Adventures On GX12' in the U.K. with the title screen removed. I don't really know what you've got to do. You avoid tank like enemies and try to reach the top via the lifts.

Comments: A good attempt at putting the movie into game form. There are four worlds to complete; you have to destroy enemy tanks, enter the core by shooting away the walls, enter another area that is defended by robot spiders and the famous bike scene that the other games were based on. The graphics are nice and sharp but the game never ends which is a shame.

Comments: An enjoyable action game. You play Tron battling a number of opponents by deflecting discs off of the wall. The controls are a little fiddly but once you get the hang off it it becomes fun.

Format: PC-CD

Title: Tron 2.0

From: Ubi Soft

Year: 2003

Comments: Not based directly on the films, it's more of an interactive sequel. There's all your favourite bits from the movie (yes the light cycles) plus a couple of the minor actors do there character's voices (no not Jeff Bridges).
