An interesting side-scroller puts you in the role of Flynn from the movie Tron.

Unlike some other Intellivision review sites, I think Tron Maze‑A‑Tron is a solid game. It is an exploration side-scroller game–one of the earlier ones for the platform, I think. It's got a pretty good sized world, and it has a lot of really interesting elements. It's difficult, making it hard to reach the second phase of the game very often. But the sound effects are great and the various circuit components are well-done.

As the character Flynn from the Disney film Tron, you must navigate a dangerous and hostile electronic world and eventually confront the Master Control Program (MCP). Unlike the movie, and sticking to grand video game tradition (of the day), you cannot win, of course. It just keeps getting more and more difficult until you either die or quit. Still, I find the layout and graphics quite pleasing, the sound great, and the game overall interesting and unique enough to rate it well.

Title Screen Title screen for Tron Maze-A-Tron.
Circuit Maze Visually appealing, this game is perhaps a bit too hard-core electronics oriented for many to appreciate. One thing bugs me... Those Recognizers sure seem small...
MCP Stack-Poppin' Fun This phase is perhaps more fun to play, as it's more action-oriented than the 'journey' phase. The sound effects are good—especially for your shield.
