Do you find yourself reminiscing of the days when computer animation was all about a world of red and blue. Well, today Disney Interactive studios announced that the classic arcade games Tron and Discs of Tron will re re-released onto the XBLA this summer. This release will coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Tron film that was released in 1982 and “has captured the imaginations of video game players and film fans for generations with its ground-breaking visuals and action-filled story,” said Craig Relyea, vice president of marketing, Disney Interactive Studios.

In Tron, which first appeared in arcades in 1982, players must complete four increasingly challenging game types to advance through levels. Players battle tank forces, engage in treacherous light cycle combat, attack the MCP cone and fight off grid bugs to enter the I/O tower.

Discs of Tron, a follow-up 1983 arcade game, enables players to fight Sark, the defender of Master Control Program, in one-on-one battles taking place in three-dimensional futuristic arenas. Players must move between platforms while throwing energy-charged discs at Sark and deflecting oncoming discs to avoid being “derezzed.”

I assume this will be a 400 MSP point release seeing as how the older games have taken on a lower selling point as noticed with the recent release of Centipede and Millipede. Watching the movie today is sort of like traveling to a time long, long ago when computer animation was coming to the forefront in the film industry and we can see that we have come a long way, think Spider-Man 3. I don’t expect this game to be a hit, but instead just another way for Disney to make a couple bucks on the side. Although, I have found myself playing this classic flash game a few times in the past.
