My company has had a few contracts with Disney last year and during that time we independently developed a Flash version of the arcade lightcycle game for browser-play.

It's an awesome classic version, true to the arcade game. Sadly, as many of you know, the big Mickey's corporate decision-makers dictated that all these kinds of retro products be left in the shade, since Marketing wanted to attract a new, younger audience… so this great little game got left on the shelf.

We believe it deserves to see light of day, and that long-time Tron fans would love to play it - so we are thinking of making it available to the Tron fan community at large!

Please feedback - I'd like to know who'd be interested in playing it.

The game plays well, but it seems the A.I is much harder than the original arcade game. I couldn't get past the second level in your flash version.

Nice!

A nice break from those accounting cream puffs you keep sending me.

Some nice AI with my favorite classic game! Great job!

LOL I love that line. Accounting Cream Puffs.

Thanks for posting! I'll take a look at it a bit later. Sorry to hear Marketing had that mindset. Especially since the younger crowd isn't the group who kept Tron alive and around all these years. The marketers wouldn't have had a paycheck related to Tron if the film didn't have a persistent cult following from the older crowd all these years. If your words are true, they should've been a little more thankful to the roots of why they were getting paid and had work to do at that time.

Sounds pretty cool, Edork. It's a shame that Disney forgot about the ORIGINAL audience of TRON. I'd say I'd LOVE to play it. Definitely got my vote!

Can't believe I am just now finding this. Immediately played it, reached level 12 finally (took about an hour)!!!! That was really fun, I'm sure I'll keep coming back. Thank you for sharing!
