I want an update of "Deadly Discs of Tron" (I think that's what it was called). It was on Intelevision. You were in an room that had doors on all 4 sides. Wave after wave of baddies with discs came through the doors. You could jam up the doors with your disc or take on the baddies. I spent lots of time on this game as a kid. Is the arcade game similar to this?

Discs of Tron; IGN XBOX 360 Review

Damn you Other Ocean, where did you stuff all of the SOTN programmers?

They weren't getting me for another 400 pts.
Sorry, I learned my lesson and after trying the demo...Another terrible release.
A shame they can't get guys who actually have respect for these old games to do the ports for them. I have a feeling most of the guys behind the development and programming of these TRON XBLA game ports and certain other classic ports/emulation were barely even born when the originals were even in the arcade and simply don't give a crap and just using these games as gigs to get to a bigger project.
It's pathetic. I guess these older "primitive" titles are just too advanced for them to handle.

Of course, but the kicker here is that even if the 360 had knob controls the games are still "off". I played the hell out of them as a kid, the fact they messed up the damn music in Tron right off the bat is just sloppy.
It just blows my mind how that in this day and age we still can't get 100% classic gaming ports or emulation.
