The 80s Club

The year: 1982
The place: In the Machine

This is a movie I, being a typical girl, did not see during the 80s. Thanks to my husband (who says this movie is what the Matrix wanted to be) I am ignorant no longer. This movie is all about being sucked into the Mainframe, and life and death are on the line. If you like sci-fi and love suspense and adventure, this movie is for you. Don’t expect the sort of graphics we are spoiled with now, but do keep in mind that for its time, TRON was cutting edge. This movie is definitely one to watch, if you want to hold any sort of claim to being an Old School Geek. In fact, The Husband says this movie is absolutely required.

You may remember the old TRON arcade game, or computer game(s?). Armagetron Advanced: a TRON clone in 3D may be just the thing you need to download- whether to relive your TRON fantasies, or just to pass some time. You’ll need access to a Geek or be a bit of a geek yourself to navigate the download and install process. Enjoy!
