The only memory I have of Tron is getting on the RTD and taking the bus to Old Town and Torrance

and playing the video game for four hours at a clip every Saturday one summer with Larry

Backerack.

And the video game, was the video game any good?

Well, I mean, you played it for four hours to clip.

It must have been.

It was not very good.

No.

No.

But it was a video game.

It did have the cabinet that wrapped around you, and you did get to play.

It was multi-game, or one thing was discs, one thing was tanks, one thing was light cycles,

and so it seemed impressive, but each of the individual games was not good.

We played the light cycles and the spiders.

It had a joystick and a knob, and you could spin an arm around and shoot at the spiders. We played that

one and we played the light cycles just incessantly.

And we'd line up like

$4 in quarters

across the top of the

name, you know, the little edge they have there,

putting quarters down to claim it. And then

we'd go to the McDonald's next door and get a big Mac and then go home.
