* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: There are blind spots to the AI on the tank level. The cubbyhole to the upper right lets you shoot and tank that comes near, and if you move into the pink transporter just short of actually transporting, the AI can drive right past you and will not collide with you. Once you pick up those tricks, the tank level is one of the easiest in the game - all you have to do is get to those spots.

* TheGoldenAgeOfVideoGames: One of the era's examples.

'''''TRON''''' is a 1982 arcade game based on {{Creator/Disney}}'s [[{{Film/TRON}} film of the same name]] that was developed by [[Creator/MidwayGames Bally/Midway]]. It consists of four different games that must be played in any order to complete each level: Tanks, Light Cycles, I/O Tower, and MCP. One of the machine's interesting features is a glowing blue joystick which is used along with a spinner controller in playing the game, to make the player feel like he's entering the awesome world of the movie. It also features digital recreations of some of Music/WendyCarlos' music from the movie's soundtrack.

* ThemeNaming: Each level is named after a computer programming language, such as BASIC and COBOL.
