First, you need the free program MAME (Multi Arcade Machine Emulator): mamedev.org/release.html
That is what runs all arcade programs. If you are running Windows, download the *.exe (second in the download list).
This program is all you really need. However, the interface isn't graphical by default. I recommend running MAMEUI but there are tons of "front ends" that let you just click and run a game: www.mameui.info/
Final thing is the game itself. Just do a search for tron.rom There are a ton of sites but here is one great one: www.romnation.net/srv/roms/25758/mame/Tron-set-1.html
Whole trick is to make sure you know where you are installing things. You have to get any ROM into the folder called "rom" (duh). Do it properly and you should see an arcade machine icon in your MAMEUI folder. Shoot down to Tron and double-click. If you remember the original game, a joystick for your computer is the best way to run it.
Like I said, though, you are on your own to supply the blacklights.

I watched "Bad Teacher" last night. Not great but it had some funny parts.
It also had some some Priest music in it.. A little bit of "You've Got Another Thing Comin'"
near the beginning and a little bit of "the Ripper" near the middle. 
I'll give it a thumbs up just for that. |

Oh, how easily they forget. Bubo, best golden owl EVER!
(I thought your daughter liked "ALL Greek movies"?) Not that any except the one I mentioned were actually GREEK, she should have loved the first Clash! Greek in theme, no? Perhaps she didn't love Perseus? She should have loved the rest of the film, though.
Come on, now. Defend the "Kings of Mykonos!" HAAAAAA!!!!!!
