About
In case you have never seen the classic 80s film, TRON is a fantasy movie set in the near-future (ahem, the late 90s! Let me say again: the movie was made in the early eighties) when an intelligent computer program, the MASTER CONTROL PROGRAM or MCP, begins to spread itself to every computer mainframe on the planet in a plot to take control of mankind. The only hope against a future of digital tyranny? TRON - another intelligent program created to take down the MCP and "derezz" him for good. He is helped along on his mission by Flynn, a human being (or "user") who has been digitized into the videogame world that exists inside the mainframe at ENCOM, and Yori, TRON's love interest.
TRON RECOGNIZER loosely follows the plot of the movie, with the gamer playing TRON and leading a squadron of Blue Recognizers into the MCP's domain. Along the way, you'll encounter the same enemies from the film - namely, the evil Red Recognizers, Sark's carrier, scores of battle tanks and those pesky grid bugs.
