A 2600-original Tron platformer from M Network with an unusual development story, and cheap.

Adventures of Tron is a platform game based on the Disney film Tron, produced by Mattel and published under its M Network label for the Atari 2600 in 1983. APh developed it, with Hal Finney credited as designer.

It was meant to be a port of the Intellivision game Tron: Maze-A-Tron but became an original game during development. A planned Intellivision version of Adventures of Tron was cancelled. After the Tron license was lost, the game was re-released as Adventures on GX-12.

How it was made

Developed by APh Technological Consulting with Hal Finney as designer, and released by M Network in February 1983.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 1 No. 11

February 1983

Graphics ★★★½ · Play-Action ★★★

“This is a good climbing game, though relatively easy in the early stages, and all the characters are graphically well represented.”
— Computer Entertainer, February 1983

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.

Before you buy

Low risk, with no documented reproductions. Loose carts are inexpensive. Boxed and sealed copies cost several times more, so check box condition if you are buying complete. The same game was later sold as Adventures on GX-12, and Telegames is also listed as a publisher, so check the title and publisher on the label to know which release you are getting.
