Tron is a coin-operated arcade video game manufactured and distributed by Bally Midway in 1982. The game consists of four subgames inspired by the events of the Walt Disney Productions film Tron released earlier in the summer. The lead programmer was Bill Adams[2] with Earl Vickers programming the music. The game was a major success, with approximately 10,000 arcade cabinets sold, and it was awarded "Coin-Operated Game of the Year" by Electronic Games.
A number of other licensed Tron games were released for home systems, but these were based directly on elements of the movie and not the arcade game. Tron was followed by an arcade sequel in 1983, Discs of Tron, which was not as successful.
