Tron: Deadly Discs (Atari 2600)

Description

The ultimate in futuristic adventure! Based on the Motion Picture from Walt Disney Productions. Move TRON safely through battle against warriors attacking in waves of three against one. Lethal saucers are the weapons. Score points by knocking them out before they get TRON! THE GAME: TRON is alone, standing in the center of an arena with walls on all sides. Three doors open and three computer-controlled attackers enter the ring. The contest is on! Warriors more around throwing destroyer discs. Split-second reflexes keep TRON in motion, dodging their deadly aim. Keep him moving...he can only withstand 5 hits before he is "de-rezzed" (that is, he dies). Try a fast exit... "teleport" (in one door and out anohter) and surprise his attackers. Fire back and hit as many of them as possible. Warriors destroyed by TRON's disc are replaced every 10 seconds, unless you clear the board by getting them before they get him. If you succeed in knocking down all of his op- ponents before the replacements arrive, you advance a scoring level. This increases the point value of each opponent hit. As your score goes higher, warriors become faster, more aggressive, their discs speed up, and they throw them more often. It's an action packed game in which only the swift survive.
