My small collection of vintage TRON goodies

One of the more humble collections in this house. Never really intended to actively pursue this stuff. Just represents all the misc. TRON things I think are cool and worthwhile (notice Maze-A-TRON and Solar Sailor are not in my collection) icon_lol.gif

I want all of these things.

 

actually i was thinking of getting the Tomy tron game for my son this christmas - he's a tron maniac.

I'm not familiar with the Tomy TRON game, but I bet it's cool. Even cooler getting that for Christmas :)

 

The soundtrack absolutely rocks. I love it. Used to have it on a remastered CD, but when I found a mint copy of it on vinyl, had to have that. It sounds soooo much better than its digital counterpart (as electronic music usually does in the analogue domain), that I literally sold off the CD while it was still worth something.

Very cool. save2600, with your awesome game room I'm surprised you don't have the Tron machine ;)

Thanks akator, but I already sold it!

 

If the damn thing wasn't so desirable, I'd surely have kept it... :lol:

Heh heh...

 

Seriously, you have an awesome room and collection.

 

I need some advice, though...

 

I'm allowed to have 1 arcade cabinet. There are space issues, whatever, but I can have only one. I'm thinking one day in the next year, I will build another MAME cabinet... but that doesn't rule out arcade machines. I can't possibly narrow down my favorites to only one cabinet.

 

However, I really want a pinball. That is (of course) more trouble for space, maintenance, everything. Still... if I have a new great MAME cabinet and one pinball, which is basically all the space we have left, it would be amazing.

 

Problem is, everything around here rurally is way overpriced, so I have to pick the perfect pinball that is a reasonable price and easy to maintain. I've gone through the GameRoom mag archive, plus my "real" mags, and still have no clue what the right pinball is.

 

Any suggestions?

I remember that read a long record. I had a whole bunch of those including all the Star Wars ones and I believe a Raiders one.

 

my kid found my read-along-records, i was planning on ebaying them, but he adopted them for his own.

 

I have a full set of starwars records including the abcs, shapes and colors, and the 2 non canon stories droid world and planet of the hoojibs.

Nice collection! icon_thumbsup.gif You inspired me to take pictures of my Tron stuff. I spent almost an hour taking pictures, and despite changing the resolution before I got started, I discovered all my shots are still over a 1MB each so I can't post them. icon_frown.gificon_mad.gif

 

I guess there's no way to reduce the resolution after the fact...icon_mrgreen.gif

 

Looking forward to seeing Legacy on Wednesday as my wife got tickets to a special morning screening. icon_thumbsup.gif 28 years of waiting, kinda jacked up to see this. icon_fett.gif (Jango substituting for a Tron emoticon.)

What? Load those puppies into your favorite paint program and resize 'em! I usually stick to 800x600 or 640x480 for the forums...

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the advice, I think I got them down to a manageable size. My Tron collection post is now up.
