Screen Shots |
Tron Deadly Discs is one of those games where the gameplay
really carries the game. It works even better if you're ambidextrous enough to
use one controller to run and the other to shoot. Of course, there's the dirty
trick of hiding in the doorways, too.
Although the graphics are by and large pretty basic, the derezz effect when
you strike down an opponent is pretty good. The sound effect used when you
block an opponent's disc is also excellent. The graphics for the Recognizer are
kind of plain, and the bad guys are just simple Intellivision Running Men.
But, this game has staying power.
