Love this movie and this article. I had forgotten about this competition! I totally want that Tron t-shirt!! I’m so jealous! I remember the arcade at Disneyland was filled with Tron machines. Discs of Tron was great too!

Celebrities playing Tron is amazon and thank you the link to the Joystik article! That’s really appreciated!!

I am wondering though if you have a typo above? Surely a Commodore computer cost less than a Tron arcade cabinet? If not, i surely would have bought one!! 😊 Maybe it should be $400?

I thought the same thing about the price! I confirmed it in a few place. It must have been fully loaded.

I wonder if it was something like the Commodore PET and not a C64 type deelie.

That might make more sense. It still feels high. Maybe they kitchen sinked the C64 and added every bit of software they could dig up?
