There's another Tron game from that time period that's virtually unknown. Tron came out for the Tomy Tutor computer/console, but it was only named that in Japan. The game was released over here, but renamed Hyperspace since they hadn't licensed the rights to release a Tron game in the US. I have no idea if the game is any good, since it's damn near impossible to locate Tomy Tutor games anywhere except eBay.

Who can forget Tron Deadly Discs for the Mattel Aquarius? The correct answer would be most people.

Tomy Tutor Hyperspace...I used to own the system and near complete loose US collection. I sold it to a friend after acqiring it all together from a thrift store. The game was really not that bad. Tron deadly discs for the aquarius is one of a handful of games I dont own for the system(and may never own). I have prepaid for the aquarius multicart and might call it good with the muliticart. Interesting tidbit about Hyperspace...

I did videos of all the Tutor games one day awhile back, here's Hyperspace (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--cUA0jixzs). Not a bad game at all, just has some control problems as do most Tutor games.

I'd have to say that Deadly Discs (both the Intellivision and Atari 2600 versions) is the only really fun Tron game to come out on a console. Maze-A-Tron, Solar Sailer, and Adventures of Tron are all pretty dull as far as gameplay goes. If they'd turned Maze-A-Tron into sort of an Atari 2600 Adventure-style game (which is what I thought it would be when I originally bought it back in the day) it could have been good. Solar Sailer is just not that interesting, and Adventures of Tron is just a painfully generic Atari platform game.
