Hello, all. Thanks for checking out my little remake.
So, I started working on this in late 2023, and then got distracted by Picotron and, well, life. But with the release of TRON: Ares coming up, I wanted to get it to a completed state.
It's a remake of an Atari VCS/2600 game called Adventures of TRON. It was one of my favorites as a kid. But I remember wondering why they used such random colors for the levels, and for TRON himself in particular. This Pico-8 version, an exercise in pushing myself to learn enough about Pico-8 to make a complete game (as opposed to the simple screensavers and timers I was doing), was born from wanting to see that old game with better colors.
I added an introductory story, a how to play screen (accessed by hitting the O button on the title screen), and a couple jingles. But gameplay-wise, I tried to keep it true to the original. Timing changes as the levels progress is not accurate to the original.
