Tron Legacy doesn’t arrive until the end of the year. And yeah, the wait sucks. But soon you can while away that time playing Space Paranoids online. Don’t you feel better already?
Like the joystick version shown off at Comic-Con International last year by 42 Entertainment, the internet iteration of Space Paranoids is a throwback to the original Tron ‘s tank play. The teaser video above, released Wednesday by Disney’s Tron Legacy site Flynn Lives, is a nice way to enrapture old-schoolers who still remember the original Tron videogame, while hooking new-schoolers stoked on sci-fi nostalgia and sequels.
The online version of Space Paranoids was announced at Tron Legacy ‘s WonderCon prank, by fictional Encom executive Alan Bradley, played by original Tron star Bruce Boxleitner. Fingers crossed, tightly at that, that Disney also creates internet iterations of the Tron videogame’s other levels, which featured interesting gameplay involving light cycles and other cool stuff. Can a brother get a full-bore Wii version of Discs of Tron while we’re at it?
