TOPIC: MOVIES you liked and ones you didn't...

To get any old-school video game is a relatively easy process (says the nerd) once you get the hang of it.

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.
